List Manager

Configure your agency LIST Manager. Some of the default options for dropdowns within xBit may not be appropriate for your agency/organization or you may want to use your own verbiage. These configurable Lists will allow you to customize the usable options. You can access by clicking on Admin​ in the top Navigation bar and then List Manager.

For example, in case types, you may not do any arson or robbery investigations, but you do a lot of work with cybercrimes. You can edit the lists to reflect the needs of your organization through various inputs such as Advanced Forensic Method, Custody Exchange Types, and Priority types. These can be changed at any time, though you cannot remove an entry if a case or evidence item is currently using it (even if closed).

You can add or remove values from various dropdowns including:

• Advanced Method – (CAIS, Chipoff, ISP, etc.) Found when viewing / editing the evidence page.
• Case Type – (civil code, state code or a federal statute). Seen as offense type for a case on the dashboard and when viewing / editing the case page.
