Reviewing and Claiming Cases

A case is created when an incident inspection results in a code violation or citation. Agency staff can also create a case directly, without an incident being reported. Code enforcement technicians use the worklist to view a list of unassigned cases and claim them as necessary.

Code enforcement technicians have two options for reviewing and claiming cases:

  • Viewing a case summary on the Code Technician Worklist page and then clicking the Claim button.

    The code technician claiming an incident is by default the assigned technician for the case. This option is used for claiming a new case created directly — without a reported incident.

  • Using the Cases page Actions menu to directly assign a code technician.

    This option is also useful for reassigning the case to another code technician.

Reviewing and Claiming Cases Using the Code Technician Worklist

  1. From the agency springboard, click the Code Technician Worklist tile.

  2. Select the Unassigned Cases tab. This page lists all the unclaimed cases in the system.

  3. Review the following summary information about the case:
