Once a court implements Odyssey, all new cases will be maintained in the system. However, the extent to which a court's old records are included in the Odyssey’s case management system depends on whether a given county decides to convert some or all of the data from their legacy system, or manually enter closed cases into Odyssey. Interested persons should contact each county using Odyssey in order to determine the extent to which data has been converted from one system to the next.

Odyssey contains information regarding felony, misdemeanor, civil and traffic cases. Access to information within Odyssey will depend upon a user’s rights and roles. Some information is, by law, confidential. Confidential information that is a part of any case type will not be available to the public.

Information contained within the Odyssey case management system is updated by the system’s users in each county. Information becomes available within Odyssey’s Public Access module when the system’s users update a given case.

The Odyssey case management system shows the existence of an active warrant for an individual by the presence of a red flag next to the individual’s name in the Public Access module. Because the information available on Public Access is not the official court record, warrant information should be verified with the court.

For cases filed with prior to the deployment of Odyssey, or cases not converted, the Clerk of Court should be contact since the Clerk is the official keeper of the record. Unless a case is confidential in nature, or unless a case has been expunged from an individual’s record, dismissed cases appear in Odyssey.

Yes, provided that the user has updated the case and noted that a violation has been filed.

Odyssey’s Public Access module will show both the original and the amended charges provided that a Motion to Amend was filed and the filing of the Motion was noted in the CCS. Otherwise, Odyssey displays only the currently pending charges and not any amending history.

Odyssey requires users to enter the level, along with the type, of offense charged. This is true for both original and amended charges. Because not all legacy systems required the entry of this information, however, a charge level may not appear for cases that were converted from such a system.

Odyssey’s Public Access module includes sentencing information for criminal cases if that information was entered on the Chronological Case Summary (CCS) provided that the case (or any part of the sentence, itself) is neither confidential nor sealed.

The Indiana Supreme Court has stated, by Order dated December 5, 2007, that “[t]he following non-confidential court data maintained in Odyssey shall be made available via the Internet: listings of cases filed with the court that include party names and cause numbers; all parties’ addresses; attorney names and addresses; chronological case summaries (including summaries of judgments, dispositions, orders, decrees, and financial information)”, and that this information shall be made available through Odyssey’s Public Access module.

Odyssey’s Public Access module can be found at http://mycase.in.gov. Although dates of birth can be used as a search feature in criminal cases, the Indiana Supreme Court has determined that dates of birth will not be displayed in Public Access.

The Odyssey case management system (including its Public Access module) is scheduled for regular maintenance every Sunday morning from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.. Whether the system is actually “down” during this time will depend on whether updates need to be installed or other maintenance is required. The website may also be down when data conversion efforts are underway prior to a new court coming online. A notice will be posted on the Public Access Site.

If Odyssey is down for maintenance, a message will appear on the Public Access Site.

Information regarding use of Odyssey’s Public Access module appears in the form of a “help page”. This information may be found at http://www.in.gov/judiciary/help/mycase.
