How do I view/edit a Case Narrative?

This article will discuss the Case Narrative screen.

Note: The Case manager will need to be enabled to create, view, and manage Cases.  There is no additional cost for the Case Manager.  If you do not see any of the Case options, please check with an Administrator on your account to see if the case manager can be enabled for your agency. 

Navigate to Case Screen

There are a couple of different ways to find the case screens.  You can use the quick search tool in the top blue bar to search for the specific Case record you are wanting to view (see below - Figure 1). 

For more information about that search tool see the video labeled How do I use Quick Search

You can also click on Records and click on Cases to view a list of cases entered into the database (see below - Figure 2) and select the case you want to view from that screen (see below - Figure 3).
