Case Management

Core entity and lifecycle for tracking structured work. A case is a coherent body of work with defined status phases, deadlines, and outcomes, following CMMN 1.1 concepts.

Specs​

  • openspec/specs/case-management/spec.md

Features​

Case CRUD (MVP)​

Full create, read, update, and delete for case records. Cases are stored as schema:Project in OpenRegister.

  • Case list view with search, sort, filter, and pagination
  • Case detail view with panels for status, deadline, participants, properties, documents, tasks, decisions, and activity
  • Fields: title, description, status, deadline, handler, caseType, result, confidentiality, parentCase
  • Case type validation on creation (inherits allowed statuses, deadline rules, etc.)

Case List View (MVP)​

Data-dense table view for browsing and managing cases:

  • Search across title and description
  • Filter by status, case type, handler
  • Sort by deadline, status, created date
  • Quick status change directly from list rows

Case Detail View (MVP)​

Comprehensive detail layout with multiple information panels:

  • Status timeline visualization showing passed/current/future statuses
  • Deadline countdown (days remaining or days overdue)
  • Participants panel showing assigned roles
  • Custom properties panel (from case type definitions)
  • Required documents checklist
  • Tasks section with linked task list
  • Decisions section
  • Activity timeline

Status Lifecycle (MVP)​

Cases progress through statuses defined by their case type. Status changes are constrained by the case type configuration and recorded in the audit trail.

  • Status timeline visualization on detail view
  • Quick status change from list view
  • Status history tracking

Case Result Recording (MVP)​

When a case reaches a terminal status, a result is recorded documenting the outcome. Results link to result types defined in the case type.

Case Deadline (MVP)​

Processing deadlines are auto-calculated from the case type's duration configuration (ISO 8601). The detail view shows a countdown with days remaining or days overdue indicator.

Case Validation Rules (MVP)​

  • Title is required
  • Case type must be valid and published
  • Status must be an allowed status for the case type
  • Deadline auto-calculated from case type duration

Audit Trail (MVP)​

Full audit trail tracking who changed what and when, including status transitions, field changes, and participant modifications.

Sub-cases / Deelzaken (V1)​

Hierarchical case support for parent-child case relationships. A parent case can spawn sub-cases (deelzaken) for parallel departmental processing.

  • Create sub-case from parent case detail view with case type constraint enforcement
  • Sub-cases section on parent case detail showing title, status, assignee, deadline
  • Sub-case progress roll-up indicator ("X/Y completed") in section header
  • Parent case breadcrumb navigation on sub-case detail views
  • Sub-case count badge on case list for parent cases
  • Nesting prevention: sub-cases cannot have their own sub-cases (single level)
  • Deletion protection: warns about sub-case detachment, clears parentCase on children before deleting parent
  • ZGW compatibility: maps to hoofdzaak / deelzaken fields

Planned (V1)​

  • Document completion checklist (required vs present)
  • Property completion indicator (% required fields filled)
  • Days in current status indicator
  • Case suspension and extension
  • Confidentiality levels
  • Case templates and cloning

Planned (Enterprise)​

  • CMMN runtime (sentries, entry/exit criteria)
  • Bulk case operations
  • Configurable status workflows per type
