You can access a taxpayer record by one of three methods
The menu
Case View hierarchy
Work Management
Function CASE SUMMARY, the top level of the Case View hierarchy, is available for whole case working, that is carrying out multiple tasks for the same taxpayer.
If a single task is to be carried out on the taxpayer record, it is invariably more efficient in both operational and computer resource terms to access the required function from the Function Menu. Where the required function is not available from the Menu, then the Case View hierarchy may be entered at a lower level than function CASE SUMMARY.
