Run a workplace investigation where each party sees only what fairness requires.

Questions

Can a witness see other witnesses' statements?

No. Each party's folder is shared only with them and the investigator.

Can we play interview recordings in DekkoCORE?

Recordings are saved to your vault as WebM video files. Download one to play it in a web browser or media player.

Do participants need accounts?

Yes. Everyone in a meeting signs in, which ties each person to their own account.

How long are records kept?

Set data expiration to match your retention period. It applies across your whole tenancy, with a minimum of 30 days.

Are signatures certificate-based digital signatures?

No. A signature in DekkoCORE is a signature mark applied to the PDF, with the signing recorded against the file.
