# Case analytics indices schema
This page lists fields that can appear in case analytics indices documents. These fields display general data about cases, in addition to data about case comments, attachments, and activity.
To learn more about the indices and cases as data feature, refer to [Use cases as data](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-builder/docs/2569/explore-analyze/alerts-cases/cases/cases-as-data).
<important>
  The cases as data feature is in technical preview, meaning the schema for the case analytics indices is subject to change.
