Case history: overview and navigation

Written by amaise Support

The case history shows you the documents and events of your case in chronological order — with AI-generated summaries for quick understanding.

Structure of the case history

The case history presents a timeline with all relevant events:

  • Documents in chronological order — sorted by document date

  • Documents without date — documents where no date was detected

  • Summaries — short AI-generated summaries of each document

  • Work impairment entries — periods of work impairment (AUF)

Navigating the case history

  • Scroll — scroll through the entry list to follow the case progress; the timeline bar above follows your position automatically (and vice versa)

  • Arrow keys — move from entry to entry with ↑ and ↓

  • Change sorting — sort entries ascending or descending by date

  • Jump to document — click an entry to open the document in the PDF reader

Timeline bar

The timeline bar at the top gives you a visual overview of the entire case period. You can use it to quickly navigate to a specific point in time. Use the timeline icon to show or hide the full timeline with documents and AUF entries.

The timeline has its own navigation gestures (also shown in the app under Timeline navigation gestures):

  • Scroll horizontally — Shift + scroll, or horizontal scrolling on the trackpad

  • Zoom — Ctrl + scroll (Windows) or Cmd + scroll (Mac)

  • Drag vertically — click & drag

  • Reset zoom — double-click

A plain mouse wheel scrolls the entry list, not the timeline — on a mouse, hold Shift to move along the timeline.

Language of the summaries

You can adjust the language of the summaries:

  • Original language of the document — summary in the document’s language

  • Language of the responsible person — automatically translated into your language

Downloading the case history

Use the download function to export the case history. You have two options:

  • Copy to clipboard — copies the case history directly to your clipboard

  • Download as DOCX — downloads the case history as a Word document

Filters and sidebars

Open the filter sidebar with the sidebar button in the toolbar above the case history — it is the same sidebar as in the document study. At the top you switch between the Active documents and the Trash, and Reset all clears all active filters at once. Six sections control which entries appear:

  • Dossiers — filter the case history by dossier structure

  • Document types — show only specific document types

  • Annotations — show only documents with your highlights or comments; the section appears once the case contains annotated documents

  • Labels — filter by manual labels

  • Date range — restrict the period, based on either the document date or the receipt date

  • More — additional filters such as authors, new, unread, poor quality, or documents with duplicates

See the article Document study: filter and select documents for details on the individual sections.

Reviewing and editing sources

Each entry in the case history links to the underlying document:

  1. Click an entry to select it and jump directly to the original document

  2. Use the Edit function to manually adjust entries

Work impairment (AUF) in the case history

The case history also shows detected work impairment periods directly in the timeline:

  • AUF entries — periods of work impairment are displayed as separate entries in the timeline

  • Periods and degree — you see the period (from–to) and degree of work impairment (e.g., 50%, 100%)

  • Merged entries — if multiple AUF entries cover the same period, they are merged and displayed together

You can click an AUF entry to navigate to the related document.

💡 For a detailed overview with export function, open the Work impairment overview from the toolbar above the case history.

Removing documents

If a document is not relevant, you can remove it from the case history. The document will be moved to the trash and can be restored from there.
