Create charts and visualizations in TruAssist

Ask TruAssist for a picture instead of another table. It can draw bar charts, trend lines, flow diagrams, relationship diagrams, and an interactive people network.

Overview

TruAssist can create four kinds of visuals. Which one you get depends on what you ask for and where you ask it.

Visual Best for Where it works
Bar chart (histogram) Counts by category, such as burglaries by day of week TruAssist chat, using your connected RMS data
Line chart Trends over time, or comparing several groups over time TruAssist chat, using your connected RMS data
Relationship diagram People, phones, locations, and associates in a case TruAssist chat, or inside an Analyst case
People network Who an inmate talks to, and how often Jail Call Intelligence (see below)

TruAssist can also draw flowcharts and process diagrams from a short description.

Create a bar or line chart

  1. Open TruAssist.
  2. Ask your data question first, for example: How many burglaries did we have in the past 30 days?
  3. Wait for the answer.
  4. Ask for the chart as a follow-up, for example: Chart that by day of week.
  5. TruAssist figures out the numbers, draws the chart, and places it in the reply.

Tips

  • Ask for the chart after the answer. TruAssist adds charts only when you ask for them.
  • Say how to group the data: by day, by week, by shift, by beat, by offense type.
  • Say which chart you want: "bar chart" for categories, "line chart" for trends.

Prompts that work

How many burglaries in the past 30 days? Show a bar chart by day of week.

Chart calls for service at this address by month for the past year.

Show a line chart comparing thefts and burglaries by week over the last quarter.

Summarize the cases from the last 24 hours in a table.

Create a relationship diagram

Use this when you want a picture of the network, not another table. The diagram is a static image in the chat reply. You cannot click or drag nodes.

From a case (recommended)

  1. Open the case in Analyst and make sure every file is finished processing.
  2. Open TruAssist in the case.
  3. Ask for the diagram, for example: Create a link analysis diagram of the people, phone numbers, and locations in this case.
  4. Wait for "Generating diagram…" to finish.

From TruAssist

  1. Describe what to connect.
  2. Ask specifically for a "link analysis diagram" or "relationship map."
  3. If you get a table or text, follow up with: Draw that as a relationship diagram.

Avoid vague requests like "visualize this case." They often return a bar chart or text.

View a jail call network

If your agency has Jail Call Intelligence connected, TruAssist can draw an interactive People Network.

  1. Open Shortcuts in TruAssist.
  2. Under Jail Call Intelligence, choose View Call Network.
  3. Enter the inmate's name.
  4. Review the graph.

Reading the graph

  • Searched person: the person you asked about.
  • Inmate: other inmates in the network.
  • Contact / Visitor: outside contacts.
  • The number on each line is how many supporting documents back that connection.

Working with the graph

  • Hover over a person to see their details.
  • Hover over a line to see the relationship description. If none exists, select Generate description. If one exists, select Get more details.
  • Use the +, –, and Reset buttons to zoom and re-center.

Save a visual to a case

Use Add to case evidence in TruAssist, or Add Content To… inside a case.

Best practices

  • Ask for the answer first, then the chart.
  • Name the grouping and chart type.
  • Check the numbers against the source records before using a chart in a briefing or court package.
  • Simplify busy diagrams: Show only the top 10 most connected people.

Why don't I see charts?

  • Charts and RMS data lookups are part of TruAssist Virtual Intelligence. Your admin turns this on per user in User Management. If you don't have it, ask your admin.
  • The jail call network requires Jail Call Intelligence to be connected for your agency.
