Collections cases must be activated in order to be completed. Once activated, a collections case will count against your case allotment. You can purchase additional collections cases at any time in your Account Management settings. To activate a collections case, first navigate to the Engagement Workspace of a relevant collections case Engagement in Canopy.
Warning
- Collections cases are activated on a per-engagement basis.
