How Can I Find Case Folders and Cases Related to a Contact?

The search window "Find Case Folder" in your personal area lets you find case folders based on several pieces of information:

Option 1: Search for a case number
If the case number is added to the case name, set the search field to "Case Name" and start typing the case number. All cases starting with the case number will show up.

If you restart numbering your cases at 1 every year, you will see results from past years as well.

Tip: Sort your list chronologically. Right click on the header of the list to show the field "Created On" and sort the list using this column. The newest cases will show up at the top.

The list will be filtered and show all clients whose names correspond to the letters entered.

Set the search field to "Client", then enter the relation, followed by a colon and the name.
