Locating Your Case

• Select the Review Specific Case tab.
• Enter the eight-character WCB Case Number in the Case ID field and select Enter.

Documents Related to Your Case

• Once you have found the case, there are two options to view the case folder:

  • Select the Case Folder tab to view the case folder within the existing browser tab. This will list all the documents related to the case.

    

  • You can also select the Case Folder button and a new browser tab will open featuring a full view of the folder containing all the documents related to the case. The WCB Case number of the case folder you are viewing will appear on the browser tab. If using this option, you are encouraged to close the browser tab when finished.

    
• Select a document(s) and select View Selected Documents to view it. Documents are read-only so you cannot make any changes.



• If you are looking for a specific type of document, select the appropriate type from the Select Folder dropdown located at the top of the case folder. This will filter the list to show those documents specific to that section name.

The table below provides definitions for the codes used in the Section Name field of the case folder.

Section Name Values

Code	Value
AL	All
MD	Medicals
CN	Case Notes
MI	Minutes
DE	Decisions
OA	Appeals
JA	Judges Attn
OT	Other

Selecting Documents

To select multiple adjacent documents, select the first document, hold Shift, and select the last document (above or below your first document). You can select up to 10 adjacent documents.

This eliminates the need to select each row separately. To select multiple nonadjacent documents, select the first document, hold Ctrl on a PC or command on a Mac, and select each individual document. You can select up to 10 nonadjacent documents.

After selecting the document(s), use the Print Documents, View Selected Documents, or Unselect All buttons as applicable.

Viewing Documents

When you select a document to view, it will open in another browser tab. Most documents will open in PDF format and allow you to download or print the document.

• Although you may open more than 10 documents at a time, this may cause a delay in your request. Larger documents will take longer to open.
• The time it takes to open a document also depends on how recently that document has been requested by you or another party of interest, whether the case has been closed or archived, and how many people are using eCase at that time.

Printing Documents

To print documents, select each document you would like to print in the case folder and then select Print Selected Documents. A PDF containing all the selected documents will be created, which you can then print. The Board recommends you print no more than five documents at a time for optimal performance. Although you may print up to 10 documents at a time, printing more than five documents may cause a delay in your request. If you select more than 10 documents to print, the print button will be disabled.

Uploading Documents

• eCase Document Upload allows you to upload certain documents directly to the case folder within eCase. Once uploaded, documents will be viewable within minutes by all parties.
• The upload functionality will only be available for cases with a case status of Hearing Set through and including the day of the hearing.
