Setting up evidence sharing is simple, and only requires the caseworker to enable or disable each evidence type for sharing on each case type or person/prospect person participant type. This means that SEM agencies can choose only those evidence types that should be shared. For example, the income support integrated case type may have several evidence types and only a few of these evidence types may be enabled for sharing.
The evidence broker will only broadcast evidence changes for evidence types that have been enabled for sharing. If necessary, this configuration option can also be disabled. It is important to note that if this option is disabled, evidence that has already been broadcast will still apply. No subsequent broadcasts of this evidence type will occur, however.
APIs and hook points are provided which an agency can leverage to alter the default behavior of the evidence broker. These are detailed in the following sections.
