Add Alarms to a Case

You can add alarms to a case one at a time or you can select multiple alarms to add to a case at once.

When alarms are added to case evidence, they can then be managed from their alarm cards in the evidence panels in the same way that they can be managed from the Alarms page. You can open and close them, view their metadata, add comments to them, and so forth. For more information on working with alarms, see Alarms.

When more than 10 alarms are added to a case, a link displays in the evidence section of the Current Case panel or Case details page to open all alarms in an alarms page.
