Create a Community Obligations Case

The Community Obligations functionality allows for the recording of various programs for adults, young people and volunteers by linking their client/volunteer record, obligation details and related activities within a single case.

The CRM database Community Obligations functionality is tailored to each organisation.  Your Community Obligations pages may have a slightly different appearance.
