Find evidence

To use evidence that has been uploaded to Axon Evidence as a source for Form One’s suggestions, select Find evidence.

• Only items marked as Available in the Status column can be used.
  • Available items are evidence files that have been uploaded to Axon Evidence and had a transcript generated.
  • Files with poor audio quality are marked with a File not recommended label. You can still use these files, but the quality of Form One’s suggestions may be impacted.
• You can switch between the tabs to find the right piece of evidence:
  • Suggested: Contains all evidence you have recorded and uploaded in the past 24 hours.
  • Search: Lets you search for a specific piece of evidence
  • Selected: Selected items appear on this tab for easy review
• Select the arrow to expand the row and view a media player for that file.

Select Continue after choosing one or more pieces of evidence.

Review and insert suggestions

Form One processes the transcripts for the evidence items you selected and compares them to the fields it has detected in your form. It displays a count of suggestions you can insert into the fields in your form.

After using Form One, it is YOUR responsibility to carefully review the suggestions. Do not assume they are complete and accurate.

Scroll down through the form to review the suggestions. Each field containing a suggestion is displayed with a color bar along the left side of the field. The text of the suggestion is overlaid on the field in a gray, italic text. Note that these suggestions are a preview and have not actually been inserted into the form yet.

When you click into a field in the form that contains a suggestion, a window appears below that field and lists the suggestion for the field as well as where that suggestion came from (narration, the evidence item you selected, your Axon Evidence user profile, etc.). Select Insert (or press ENTER on your keyboard) to insert that suggestion, or select Reject (or press ESC on your keyboard) to delete that suggestion.

You can also quickly insert all suggestions by selecting Insert all suggestions in the Form One panel.

To change which evidence items Form One uses, select Change in the Selected evidence area. To open the Evidence details page for one of your selected evidence items, select the arrow icon. Axon Evidence opens the evidence details page for that evidence item in a new tab.

You can only remove an evidence item if you exit Form One, then reopen it and start over.

Narrate

At any point, including after you have selected other evidence sources or inserted suggestions, you can provide additional details for more fields that don't have suggestions, select Narrate details. You can then speak out loud while Form One records to provide additional information. When you are finished, select Stop narration.

Capture screen

You can copy all information displayed on another screen and use it in Form One by taking these steps:

1. In the Form One page, select Capture screen.
2. Choose what to share with Axon Form One. You can select:
   • A specific tab
   • A window
   • Your entire screen
3. Form One will capture whatever information is available on the tab, window, or screen you selected and generate suggestions.
4. You can remove a screen capture from Form One's list of sources by selecting the trash can icon.

To add a person's driver's license to Form One, select Scan ID, and hold the front of the license up to your device's camera. You can use this feature to quickly auto-fill person-related fields in a form, such as NCIC search query fields or person information in a Stop form or incident report.
