View the case team
Every matter connects to two groups of people:
-
Staff working on that matter
-
The clients/family members the case is about.
Here's how to see who's on a case
- Go to Matters.
- Select the case from your list.
- Find the Team Members (staff) section. It lists everyone assigned to the case with their role on it (e.g., "Caseworker" or "Supervising Attorney"). A staff member's case role can differ from their general org role.
- Find the participants section. It lists the people the case is about — clients, parties (parents, guardians), and contacts — each with their name, participant role, and recorded outcome if any.
Teams within a case: Cases with multiple clients or families may have more than one team. Teams create the outer boundary for access to notes, documents, events and tasks — content shared with one team isn't visible to another.
Notes:
-
If a participant has a Sunlight account, adding them to the case makes it visible to them on the platform.
-
Staff assignments are time-bound: when someone leaves a case, their assignment is ended, not deleted, so the history is preserved.
