Default Case Involve Types

This code table relates a case type with a default involved person type. When a default involved person type is set for a specific case type, any time that case type is created from a name record or an existing case record, the person from the name record or the primary involved person from the existing case is auto-involved on the new case with the default involvement type specified here. This functionality allows you to always automatically involve the existing name or case record person with a specific involvement type (i.e. defendant/client or plaintiff/respondent).

Finding the Default Case Involve Types Tool

  1. In the Administrative Tools group of the Explorer toolbar, click System Administration.
  2. Select Tools | Default Case Involve Types.
    The Default Case Involve Types tool appears in the Default Case Involve Types snap-in.

Tip: To access this code table through the Code Tables link in the Administrative Tools group rather than the System Administration link in the same group, click ctblCaseInvTypeDefaults.

Creating Default Case Involve Types

  1. Add a new record.

  2. Select or type all required and relevant data for each available field. Some fields may be required while others are not.
    • Case Type: Select the case type from the list.

    • Notes: Type any related notes in this free-text field.

      If a new case with the selected case type is created from an existing name or case record, the name record person or the primary involved person from the existing case will be auto-involved on the new case with this involvement type.

  3. Save the session.
