There are two ways to invite an individual, using Axon Capture and using Evidence.com. Evidence.com is used to manually triage and accept or decline evidence submissions, if required by your agency.
To prevent spam, each private link can only be used for one submission. Each submission is limited to a maximum of 16 files with a maximum size of 60 GB per file and a total maximum size of 200 GB. The private link for submissions expires after 3 days.
Using Axon Capture to Invite an Individual
Note: Users must be allowed to send Axon Citizen invitations in Evidence.com and have Axon Capture for Android version 3.6 or later or Axon Capture for iOS version 3.7 or later to send an Axon Citizen invitation.
See Sending and Axon Citizen invitation through Axon Capture for instructions on sending an invitation.
Using Evidence.com to Invite an Individual
