Casework

Set up casework for your representatives

A representative owns every case in one area, and designating one is what routes new cases to them. Here is how casework settings work, from naming a representative to handing a volunteer access.

01

Open casework settings

Manage representatives sits at the top right of the casework board. Only an org admin can open it, so the decisions about who counts as a representative and who can see what stay in one place.

02

Designate a representative for each area

Pick the person, their office, Councillor, MP, Candidate, Mayor, GLA member or Other, and the area they cover, Ward, Local authority, Constituency, Region or Nation. Enter the area's GSS code, for example E05011090. Routing matches on that code, not the area's name, because ward names repeat across local authorities and a name alone would misfire.

03

Give a volunteer access

A casework volunteer can read and edit every case in that representative's area, names, addresses, phone numbers and the problem itself. Access only opens once someone reads the notice and ticks I have read the data-protection notice. Revoke it from the same row the moment the role changes.

04

Set your own categories

Categories tag each case by topic and are what a door-knocker is offered when they log a problem on the step. Type a name and select Add category. Remove takes a category off the list for new cases without touching the label on cases already tagged with it.

05

Keep the record when a term ends

End tenure stops new cases routing to someone without deleting anything. A candidate who wins stays on the same record. Someone who steps down keeps every case they already handled, and casework carries on for whoever takes over.

What to check
  • A representative entered against the wrong GSS code never receives a case. Cases sit unassigned until the code is corrected, because routing matches on the code, not the area name.
  • Nobody sees the Casework item at all until they hold a representative record or a volunteer grant. That is the access model working as intended, not a fault to fix.
  • Ending a tenure never rewrites history. Cases already logged against a representative stay exactly where they are.
