How to file cases?

Users can file charges by going to the File Case Wizard. This allows users to file charges without disposing the case.

Once on the File case Screen users will be able to see and edit the charges if necessary. Once the user saves, STAC will mark all of the charges as filed and add a filed event to the event tab.

Users should only file multiple cases together if they have the same file date and type.

The "File As" field is the Event Sub Type list of the FILED event type. In the new File Case Wizard there is no Charge Type selection, it will always mark the charges as FILED.

To update the Charge Type, users should go to the Charge tab -> Add/Edit (Charge Maintenance) and do the changes in the charge and when you save it, you can select the Charge Type to indicate it was amended.
