Local system

The system a user in a Federated Case Management (FCM) network logs into. Each user on a federated system logs into a single application, his or her local application. Each local application allocates a part of its user interface to host cases and data from one or more remote systems.

The application in which a case type is defined is the local application for all cases of that type. In a federation, each system defines its case types as remote case types so they can be worked on by other systems. In other words, a case that is local on its hosted application is considered remote by other applications. Regardless of where a case type defined by each local system is worked on or created, processing and data storage occur on the local system.

FCM is intended to make the distinction between local and remote cases immaterial: any case can be worked on by any FCM user.
