Forensic Notes has two main screens that you will interact with.
- The main screen is where you can view and create your individual notebooks as well as Team Member notebooks.
- You can click any individual notebook, to view the content of that Notebook, and add new notes, attachments, images, etc.
Manage Notebooks
When new features are released, notifications will be announced here.
Also Team Account Administrators can also send out notifications which will appear here.
Click or tap the ellipsis menu icon to access:

To create a new notebook enter a name for it.
We recommend using a standardize naming convention depending on how you use Forensic Notes. For example you may want to name notebooks based on:
- File numbers used in investigations
- Dates
- Exhibit Numbers
- Employee names or numbers
If you are using a Team Account, your Team members notebooks will be visible here. You can view Team Member’s notebooks, but you will not be able to add notes or modify them.
