Upload the Response Document

A response document is required to be loaded onto a case if the reply preference is letter. If the reply preference is email, this step is optional.

Once the response document has been completed, or the response template reviewed and updated as necessary, click on the Upload Case Response Document link.

NOTE If a Pro forma Response document is available, it will already be located in the Upload Case Response Document section. Any mail merge fields will be pre-populated using the information from Case Detail. As you make changes to the Case Details, the Pro Forma response document will be updated.

  2. Highlight the document and click on the Open button, or drag and drop the documents to the Upload Case Response Document area.
