How do I add an offense description?
You would add an offense description to the Dispositions Report to provide clearer detail about the charges associated with each case disposition. Including offense descriptions helps court staff, auditors, and other users quickly identify the specific violations or offenses involved without needing to reference the full case record. Courts use this option to improve report readability, support reporting accuracy, and provide more complete case outcome documentation.
