About Cells

Cells are one of the fundamental components used to build a CaseView document. They provide the dynamic link between CaseView and the Working Papers and Time databases. A cell can be positioned anywhere in a CaseView document, or organized into columns. Attributes and calculations can be unique for each cell.

In CaseView, there are six types of cells:

Type	Description
Numeric	Accepts any numeric value.
Alphanumeric	Accepts both numbers and text.
Date	Returns cell values to a date format.
Check box	Check boxes are useful in controlling printing options.
Radio button	Radio buttons can be selected or deselected only. A minimum of two radio buttons must be created in order for this either/or process to function.
Button	Button cells are useful for setting up document options and actions.
