Diagram 4. Properties on Complainant and Respondent entity types
Collecting information from victims or complainants
As the workflow shows in Diagram 1 above, the process starts with the complaint
submission, which is directly submitted from an online form by the complainant. The
complaint can also be presented by phone or in person. In both cases, the personnel from
the organization fills the form with the information provided by the complainant. There is a
third option that also needs to be considered: the organization can start a complaint
process on its own motion. In the three cases the same complaint submission is filled.
The form has mandatory and optional fields. For instance, a complaint cannot be
presented without providing the name and the email of the victim and the complainant.
The submission form includes the information that later is included in the complaint
registration, complainant and respondent templates.
To facilitate this process, information from matching fields in the complaint submission and
the complaint registration templates can be directly copied and pasted in the system into
other templates.
The following example shows what the complaint submission (Stage 0) looks like and how its
information feeds the next templates:
