Introduction

Briefly introduced in Chapter 2, the Dynamic Evidence Editor is a graphical editing environment for Dynamic Evidence Type Version Metadata. It allows administrators to define the storage, behavioral and visual characteristics of Dynamic Evidence Type Versions. These include:

• Model definitions and options for the Dynamic Evidence Type Version, including:
  • Attributes of the Dynamic Evidence Type Version, such as Data Attributes, Calculated Attributes, Address Attributes, Related Case Participant Attributes, Related Employment Attributes and Comments Attributes
  • Mandatory and Optional Parent Relationships between a Dynamic Evidence Type Version and other Dynamic Evidence Types
  • Standard Validations to be invoked at runtime when case workers enter data
  • Summary Details definitions which govern how a Case Evidence record is described in the Evidence Workspace pages at runtime
  • Various behavioral characteristics of a Dynamic Evidence Type Version, such as the width of its create and modify pages at runtime, and Business Start and End dates for the Evidence Type
• User Interface definitions and options for the Dynamic Evidence Type Version, including
  • Clusters of Fields, such as Data Attribute Clusters, Address Clusters, Related Participant Clusters, Related Employment Clusters and Comments Clusters
  • Fields and Skip Fields

This chapter gives an overview of the Dynamic Evidence Editor, and sets the scene for subsequent chapters which will describe the functionality of the Editor in more detail.
