At a glance
-
Identify it by: Name.
-
Why care: Use the agency’s approved terminology and access policy. Preserve dates, responsible personnel, case links, and audit history because these records may support official reporting or custody review.
Before you begin
You need the Brisk permission for the action you are taking on forfeiture options. If a Create, Edit, or Delete control is absent, do not work around it with another user’s account; ask an administrator to review your role.
Create a Forfeiture Option
Create a Forfeiture Option only when the existing choices do not represent the policy or classification you need. Near-duplicate setup values split reporting and make later selection harder.
-
Select the business context first.
-
Enter the required identifying and operational values: Name.
-
Review Default deliberately; these choices control availability or workflow rather than merely describing the record.
-
Save the Forfeiture Option, then confirm Name on its detail page before continuing.
After saving: Open Cases and confirm the Forfeiture Option appears with the intended label and availability. Keep the old value for historical records when changing it would split or relabel prior reporting.
Delete a Forfeiture Option
Delete this Forfeiture Option only if it is an unused duplicate or setup mistake. Once other records refer to it, preserve that history and make the value inactive when the screen provides that option.
Before confirming, check for related Cases. Brisk may refuse deletion when another record depends on this one; resolve the duplicate or use the supported correction workflow instead of breaking the trail.
On the confirmation page, verify Name. After confirmation, return to the Forfeiture Options list and make sure only the intended Forfeiture Option was removed.
Review Forfeiture Option details
Use the detail page as the shared record of what this Forfeiture Option currently means. Verify Name, and Default before relying on it for a decision.
Compare the Forfeiture Option with its source document or approved setup request before deciding that it needs correction.
Next check: Open Cases and confirm the Forfeiture Option appears with the intended label and availability. Keep the old value for historical records when changing it would split or relabel prior reporting.
Edit an existing Forfeiture Option
Edit this Forfeiture Option when the underlying policy or classification changed. First determine whether historical transactions should retain the old value; if so, deactivate the old choice and create a new one.
-
Open the detail page. Compare Name with the supporting document or approved request.
-
Recheck the identifying information shown on the screen. These values are most likely to change case history, custody, dispatch, official reporting, or audit review.
-
Save the change, return to the list, and confirm that the Forfeiture Option now appears under the expected Name.
After the change: Open Cases and confirm the Forfeiture Option appears with the intended label and availability. Keep the old value for historical records when changing it would split or relabel prior reporting.
Find and review forfeiture options
Use the Forfeiture Options list to find the correct record before opening or changing it. Compare Name. Compare the full identifier rather than relying on a similar name.
Open the Forfeiture Option whose Name match the task. If it is missing, clear the list filters and recheck the identifying information shown on the screen rather than creating a replacement immediately.
