Select Case, Referral, Home, Inquiry, or Staff (Staff option available to Staff Administrators and Full Administrators only).

 

Answer the question: What active case/referral/home/inquiry is this related to? Select what type of activity or report the scanned document relates to and select your name (or a co-workers name) in the Who Performed This? section. 

Press “Save & go to” to go directly to the activity/report to add more information or complete it. Press "save As Draft" to save the item as a draft and continue filing items from your inbox.
