Case Summary

Case Summary Form


Case Summary is used to collect data on case dispositions.

  • With the CCAP case number this form can link and pull-down data from the CCAP database updating the agency of any case still ongoing or closed.


The Case Summary form is a tool used by agencies to collect data on Case Dispositions. Case Dispositions from CCAP can be gathered by the click of a button and others can be entered by hand. This information can be imported into their Records Management System (RMS). The information below is collected. Multiple groups can be added by clicking the + group on the tool menu when in a section (i.e. Charges).

NOTE:

  • The Case Summary form does not replicate to any form as it is a Case level form and other forms are needed first.
