Convert Files to the New Case Format

Files in Primafact are set up in Black Case Folders which activate Case-level features for that specific Case.

BEFORE converting your Cases note that documents cannot be copied across multiple Cases.

If you have multiple files that share documents, decide which Case will hold the coded materials OR Create a “Master Case” that contains all of the related matters organized within the single black Case folder.

This must be done before Converting your yellow folder to a Case. When files are converted to the Case format, mutual copies of documents that filed in separate Cases are converted to Duplicates and no longer linked (copied) to other Cases.
