A case in Case Management refers to a structured record of an issue, request, or investigation that requires tracking, resolution, and collaboration. Cases typically contain relevant details such as the issue description, assigned users, status, priority, timestamps, and associated actions or documentation. In Blink’s Case Management, a case represents a security event, incident, or investigation that is logged and managed through automated workflows and integrations with 3rd-party security systems. Each case helps teams track progress, document findings, and ensure timely resolution.
