Why Your Internal Reference Matters
Updated on 31 March 2026

Your internal reference or case number is one of the most important pieces of information you enter into J-Cred. It explains why the search or request was performed and helps your organisation trace it later.
Why it matters #
- It supports audit and compliance requirements.
- It helps support trace your issue more quickly.
- It allows your organisation to connect platform activity to internal cases or files.
- It becomes even more useful when kept together with the Search ID.
Best practice: Use meaningful references, not vague notes. A clear reference will help months later when someone asks why a search was run.
