Service Files are instances of service that are tracked within an Individual’s Case. Each Service File represents a single instance of service (i.e. Individual Counselling, Family Dispute Resolution etc) that your agency is providing to a given (set of) Case Member/s. The Case Members participating in a given Service File are referred to Service Participants.

Each Service File has a start/end date, status and assigned Workers. Within the Service File it is possible for Workers to schedule Service Events, complete Documents and attach files.
