Records Guide

Finding, exporting and accounting for records — and the two things Records deliberately cannot do.

Role: Records Staff site
Section 1

What Records is for

Agency-wide visibility and the ability to produce a file, without the ability to alter what a sworn officer attested to.

You work at demo.myjurat.com, signed in with your agency Microsoft account. reporting.myjurat.com is the citizen-facing site; reports filed there arrive on the staff side for review.

Records sees every case at the agency — not just its own — and can export any of them. What it cannot do is sign, and that boundary is the point of the role rather than an oversight.

Why no countersigning

A countersignature is a sworn act by the officer on the case. Records is an administrative role, so it does not hold a signature at all — there is nothing to apply by accident. If a statement is stuck waiting on an officer's signature, the answer is a reminder or a supervisor, not a workaround.

Section 2

Finding things

Search is the first stop and covers everything at the agency. Search by case number or by name.

For browsing rather than looking something up:

  • Completed Statements and Completed Victim Packets — the finished-work queues.
  • Dashboard — current activity across the agency.

Every timestamp you see is in your agency's own time zone, set once by your administrator, so nothing needs converting in your head.

Section 3

Producing a file

The common request: a prosecutor, a defence attorney or a public-records applicant wants a statement.

  1. Find the case in Search.
  2. Open it and confirm it is the right one — check the case number and the affiant's name, not just the top result.
  3. Download or export. You get the sealed PDF as it was signed, with its audit-trail page.
  4. Note what you released and to whom in your own records process. Jurat records that you downloaded it; it does not know who asked.
Officer copies and victim copies are not the same file

A victim packet exists in two forms. The officer copy carries the chain-of-custody page — who created and sent the packet, signing times and addresses. The victim copy deliberately does not. When you produce a file, you are producing the officer copy. Do not hand a victim the version you exported for a case file.

Section 4

What can still change after submission

Short answer: very little, and never silently.

When an officer submits a form, their editing ends. Only an administrator can correct a completed record afterwards, and every correction is written to the audit trail with the previous and the new value. Answers that the form locks at signing cannot be changed by anyone at all.

So if a record looks wrong, the question is not "who could have quietly changed this" — it is "what does the audit trail say", and it will say.

The audit trail

You have the full audit view. Every consequential action is recorded — who did it, when, and from where. Use it when someone asks how a document came to exist, or whether a statement was altered after signature.

On a victim packet you can also see whether the victim actually downloaded their packet, and when. "Completed" means the documents were signed; it does not by itself mean the victim has the file. That row answers the question directly, in both directions.

Section 5

Chasing outstanding work

You can send a reminder on any case waiting on someone else — a requested statement, one sent back for clarification, one waiting on a signature.

Two things Records cannot resolve, and who can:

SituationWho fixes it
Waiting on an officer's countersignatureThat officer, or a supervisor
Wrong primary officer on the caseSupervisor or Admin
Created in error, needs revokingSupervisor or Admin
Case needs lockingAdmin
Statement link expiredAny officer on the case — resend issues a fresh link
Section 6

Retention

Your administrator sets how long records are kept before becoming eligible for disposal. Records staff should know two things:

  • A record cannot be purged unless its retention class is actually set. An unclassified record is refused rather than quietly destroyed.
  • A supervisor or administrator can override retention to hold something longer — a litigation hold, an open prosecution.
Section 7

If you also handle online reports

Online reporting uses a separate role from your Jurat one. Records staff often hold Supervisor there, which sees every submitted report rather than only assigned ones.

Your agency can also set online reports to Records only, which narrows the queue to Supervisor and Admin levels. If your agency treats online intake as a records-desk function, that is the setting behind it. See the Online Reporting Guide.
