Sharing Evidence

The evidence framework provides the ability for SEM agencies to share evidence between a person/prospect person, application case and ongoing cases.

This ensures that clients do not have to fill out the same information repeatedly and so that all associated agencies are informed when client information changes. Evidence Broker functionality enables and mediates the sharing of evidence. The evidence broker acts as both a receiver and a broadcaster of new, updated and removed evidence. It allows the agency to compare evidence that is received from different sources and determine the appropriate action.

Evidence sharing is is one directional and per evidence type. This means that different targets can receive and share an evidence type in different ways. If required, one case type might be able to receive shared evidence, but might not be able to share its own evidence

There are three main business functions which will trigger the evidence broker to broadcast evidence:

Any time a new person is added to a target case (where the evidence is shared to) For example, where person /prospect person evidence such as identification evidence has been configured for sharing to an integrated case and a person is added to an integrated case, the evidence broker will first check to see if that person has any person /prospect person. If evidence is found, the evidence broker then checks for active identification evidence and shares it to the integrated case.
Any time evidence changes are made to a source case (where the evidence change happens) For example, when changes are made to a persons identification evidence, the evidence broker will share those changes to the integrated case.
Any time a new target case is created. For example, any time a new integrated case is created, the evidence broker will search for person / prospect person identification evidence to be shared. If this evidence is found, the evidence broker shares the identification evidence to the integrated case.
