Associate Cases

Associating cases allows the user to link related cases to each other - infant(s), mother, and contact(s). When cases are associated, they can be accessed from the related person's details page. Cases can be associated either when creating a new case or when editing an existing case.

If an infant's case does not yet exist, it can be added from the Mother's Case Detail page. To add an infant case from the Mother's Case Detail page, first conduct a Case Search and then click the View Case icon (View Case icon) for the mother's name in the search results list. The Mother's Case Detail page opens. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, to the Mother's Associated Cases section. Click the + Add Infant Case button. The Infant Case Detail page opens with some automatically populated fields; enter the information as needed and click the Save Page icon (Save Page icon) when finished. Click the Cancel icon (Cancel icon) to cancel your changes and return to the previous page.
