INDEX – SUMMARY The INDEX Document Management System (DMS) is not a case management system, rather it is a support tool to house all client supportive documentation and make it easier to retrieve this information when necessary. Functionality questions that come up as you use the system should be directed first to your supervisor then as a Track-It ticket if they are unable to answer your questions. Expect more functionality to be released as we continue to implement and expand the use of the system.
