Configuration TasksConfiguration tasks are:
Step-by-step1. Case configuration filesYou must create an XML-formatted case configuration file for each case type you currently use. 2. Case ResourcesCiviCase allows you to include a listing of people and organization contacts whom your staff might need to communicate with (Case Resources) whenever a case is being viewed. You can do this initially, or add this feature at any time. 3. Enable the CiviCase componentThe CiviCase component is included in CiviCRM downloads starting with version 2.2 However it is NOT enabled by default. You will need to enable the component.To enable the component: 4. Verify Case Types and Activity Types, and Add Case RolesCiviCase allows you to connect a set of expected activities with specific types of cases. This new functionality may cause you to modify the Case Types and Activity Types you already have configured in CiviCRM (these existing selections will be available in CiviCase after you upgrade to 3.0) and / or add new ones. CiviCase also allows you to configure case management specific roles - as part of managing cases and case work. Examples might include Intake Coordinator, Employment Counselor, Housing Advocate, etc. You'll need to define relationship types for each of these roles. 5. Custom fieldsYou may want to define some / additional activity-specific custom fields for your case activities. 6. Site PreferencesTo make sure that the Cases tab is turned on when viewing contacts:
7. User Permissions for Staff MembersAs before, all staff members or service providers who will be using CiviCase to enter or view case information will need to have a user account (Drupal and Joomla installs) or a permitted Open ID login (Standalone).
If you haven't already done so, you should also add contact records for service providers who will be assigned case roles but will not be accessing the CiviCase system. CiviCase will allow your staff to easily send emails to these providers with pertinent case and client information, as well as record case-related interactions reported by them. |
