The case page is where you can manage case tickets related to the constituent. A case ticket is something that allows you to track constituent's concern, and manage it by way of categorizing, assigning, and setting up follow-up reminders respectively. If you wish to keep a simple note, the notes section would be best utilized.
Upon landing on this page you will see one of two things:
- A blank case ticket form
- A list of case tickets
Case tickets in CivicTrack follow a Parent-Child structure, where the case ticket is the Parent, and case items are it's child. We'll see what this means in the examples below.
