Important Notes
The Overview tab is the main summary view for the case.
The case status button changes depending on the current stage of the case.
The Aware Date is used to calculate reporting deadlines.
The Initial Due and Interim Due dates help users track statutory obligations.
If a case is closed, it may still be reopened if Move to Open is available.
If a case manager is unassigned, the case may still exist, but follow-up ownership may be unclear.
Troubleshooting
If you cannot open a case, check your access to Child Safety and Reportable Conduct.
If the status action button is missing, check your permissions.
If a case appears in the wrong tab, check its current status.
If the due dates look incorrect, review the Aware Date in the case details.
If the case manager is missing, assign one according to your organisation’s workflow.
If supporting records are missing, check the Linked Records, Files, Notes, and Audit tabs.
