Case Search

Case Search is the application's landing screen (frmCaseSearch.aspx). Users search for legal cases by SSN, claim number, worker name, policy number, or check number; results display in a grid, and selecting a row establishes claim context and navigates to case-context screens via the side menu.

Entry conditions

  • Application entry point: Default.aspx auto-redirects here on load (verified: Legal/Default.aspx.vb:20).
  • Also reachable at any time from the SAIFMenu side menu on any other screen.
