Creating a Case Project

A case project is a type of top level folder in your workspaces which contains data about a single investigation. It consists of a predefined structure of sub-folders to store various files of the investigation.

To create a case project, perform the following steps:

In the main menu click File > New Wizards > Case Project. A project creation dialog is opened.

Click Finish to create the project in the workspace.

After the project creation dialog has closed the new case project appears in the Workspace Navigator view:

Instead of opening the creation dialog from the main menu (step 1) you can also right-click in the Workspace Navigator view and click New > Case Project
