Note

1 Additional search criteria may need to be employed (e.g. start and end date range, company, status, category) to ensure that the correct homelessness case is returned; an alternative Search by category of Contact or Contact Group may be selected to extend the available search fields.

2 This option is active only for homelessness cases that are currently in progress and all mandatory tasks, if any, have already been completed.

3 These custom values can be populated by the end user via the general lookup parameter entitled System Case Cancellation Reasons.

4 Any inherent tasks not already bypassed or completed will be cancelled at the same time.
