Maintain General Legal Information
Use the General tab to maintain general legal information for the account.
Notes:
-
Before creating a legal case, link all accounts involved in the suit and unlink those that aren't.
-
After creating a legal case, don't add other accounts to the link group as the system won't include them in the judgment. We recommend that you move the linked accounts to a desk that doesn't allow linking (Prevent linking of accounts in this desk check box is selected) to prevent adding accounts to the link group accidentally. For more information, see Add a Desk, Modify a Desk, and Change a Desk Assignment.
-
If you didn't link all the accounts involved in the suit or you didn't unlink accounts not involved in the suit before creating the legal case, do the following:
-
-
Delete the legal case. For more information, see Delete a Legal Case.
-
Link the accounts involved in the suit and unlink the accounts not involved in the suit.
-
(Recommended) Move the accounts to a desk that doesn't allow linking.
