Case Search

Cases are indexed in MiSACWIS using the name of the Case Reference Person.

If you are assigned to a case, you'll typically look for it in your case workload screen.

However, if you are not assigned to the case, or if the case is closed, you can find it by clicking search in the header and entering a Case ID or selecting a Case Reference Type.
