Cases is our solution for case management. A case in Tines is a place where users can work together, comment, and track activity. Whereas a record is a structured way to capture data from a story. Records are often attached to cases as artifacts.

Some ways to apply cases include:

  • Facilitate, collaborate, and track incident response

  • Capture and store the actions taken across story runs for external audits

  • Analyze trends or common data points across stories

  • Identify what automations to build next

How to create a case in Tines

Elements of a case

The below table outlines the different elements of cases. For more on configuring cases, see our docs.
