4. If you see your times are off, you can adjust your time zone here. You can also display the time format.
5. Conforming to ANAB confirms you are recording the actions you need to stay compliant.
6. Enabling SORN ensures no xBit system fields are present that prompt the input of personally identifying information. This does NOT apply to any custom fields you already created or will create in the form builder.
7. Enable or disable auto-cid. In order to set up a template, you need to go to the Auto CID page by navigating to the Main Nav > Admin > Auto CID. This menu item is only present when Auto-CID is enabled.

Delete Cases

You can now Delete Cases and/or Evidence, however rather than giving free access to all to do this, we allow admins to turn on this feature and then turn it off. An agency during a testing/implementation phase may want to turn this on to delete these test cases and evidence prior to going live. But in a live setting, they may want to turn it off. If in fact a case and/or evidence is needed to be deleted, an Admin can turn the feature on, then delete the item, and then turn it back off to ensure audit trail authenticity.

On the case dashboard, you now have the option to delete a case from xBit. This can only be done when enabled from the settings page.

Delete Evidence

On the view evidence page, you now have the option to delete a case from xBit. This can only be done when enabled from the settings page.

Default Case Group

Sets the default group that a case will be assigned to when creating a new case.

Login Banner Text

The Login Banner Text is what will be displayed to users upon login. This is for text that users need to read before using xBit. By default, the text notes that xBit contains US Government Data and unauthorized use is prohibited.

Active Directory

xBit enables you to link xBit to your Active Directory server and manage users from there. Follow the following instructions to setup:
