Adding users to cases

Staff must be added as users to a case before they can access it within CaseMap. New users can be added to a case at any time. There is no limit to the number of users a case can accommodate, though we suggest you keep user access limited to case staff to preserve the integrity of your case data.

Adding users to a case is an exclusive process, which locks all other users out of a case while this task is completed. Once users are added to the case, close the case and then re-open it so that others can logon.
