A lot of Dynamic Evidence processing hinges on key Evidence dates in ways that are not immediately obvious. This chapter describes the logic behind how Dynamic Evidence works with dates: how dates entered by administrators affect case workers maintaining Evidence and vice versa. It is assumed that those reading this chapter have read the previous chapters describing Dynamic Evidence concepts and administration.
The Cúram Evidence Guide also contains useful background on this topic, and readers of this chapter should also be familiar with its contents. Fundamentally, Dynamic Evidence is simply a type of evidence that does not require development-time effort.
Readers of this chapter should be aware in particular of the Evidence framework concept that a piece of Case Evidence may change over time, giving rise to a succession of different versions of the Case Evidence record that each apply to a particular period of time. Understanding the difference between correcting a Case Evidence record and recording a change in circumstances is essential.
