Field notes
The case workspace groups records into overview, body, scene, and reference sections. Its timeline is described as incorporating logged key times, notes, evidence, notifications, identification, and infant-investigation times; backup and restore controls are also visible. Estimation inputs include rectal and ambient temperature, body weight, clothing or covering correction, and repeated readings, with optional vitreous urea alongside potassium. The page cautions that rigor and livor windows are broad and may not overlap when assumptions are wrong.
