Chronological presentation of the activities of the case
The entire history of the case is presented chronologically at the bottom of the page. The most recent activity is always at the top in this display, the oldest activity (namely the recording of the hint by the whistleblower) is listed at the bottom.
Status changes
Status changes and other activities are automatically documented in the integrated audit trail in the history of a case. Status changes are represented as follows, e.g. when the case was given a custom identifier or when the case was opened for the first time. For each activity, the date, time and person who carried it out are automatically logged in the audit log.
Messages in the history (like the initial report)
Like status changes, messages in the audit log are displayed chronologically in the history of the case.
The following example shows an initial report that an anonymous whistleblower reported via the reporting portal. The hint text, date & time of the incident and date & time of recording are displayed. If file attachments have been added to the message, these are also displayed and can be opened with a click.
Questions to the whistleblower
By clicking on the Message to whistleblower button, you can enter a message and send it to the whistleblower by clicking on Send message. If necessary, you can ask the whistleblower questions or provide information on the processing status.
