Task Management
The Task Management system provides a structured way to create, track, and manage action items within cases and investigations.
Overview
Tasks are actionable items that need to be completed as part of case investigations or general security operations. Each task represents a specific action, assignment, or milestone that contributes to resolving a case or addressing a security concern.
