Creating custom spreadsheets

You can create a custom spreadsheets in CaseMap. Note the following facts when creating custom spreadsheets:

Naming. Each custom spreadsheet name must be unique and requires both a singular and plural name.
Views and filters. Adding a new spreadsheet does not affect existing spreadsheet views or filters.
Default fields. New custom spreadsheets contain five default fields: Full Name, Short Name, Role In Case, Key, and # Facts. You can add additional fields to the new spreadsheet as needed.
Send to CaseMap. You can send data to it immediately using the Send to CaseMap tool.
Reports. You can create a report from a custom spreadsheet and add them ReportBooks.
Case locks. Adding a custom spreadsheet locks the case. Other users must be signed out of the case in order to perform this task. Custom spreadsheets can be added to the master case. Users can create a custom spreadsheet in SQL cases.
Ways to create custom spreadsheets. There are two ways to create a custom spreadsheet:
oStart with an existing spreadsheet. If you have never created a custom spreadsheet, this is the recommended method. It is the easiest way to create a custom spreadsheet because columns and other basic spreadsheet features are created for you.
oStart with a defualt object template. This method is recommended for advance users.
