Set-Up or Update Routing Information

Teams must be created for an organization before routing information can be set-up. Refer to the Create a Team wizard to learn how to set up a team.

Routing information determines how work items are assigned to a team. Routing Information must be set-up for each work item in CCMS. Setting-up routing information in CCMS must be done before an organization can begin to use CCMS.

Routing options include:

  • Alphanumeric: Route work items by an alphanumeric range
  • County: Route work items by county. Work items associated with selected counties are routed to a specific team.
  • Provider: Route work items by Provider Name. Work items associated with selected providers are routed to a specific team.
  • Provider Type: Route work items by Provider Type. Work items associated with selected provider types are routed to a specific team.

Once alphanumeric, county, provider, and provider type routing information is entered, you can select the order of priority on the Manage Order page.

Example: On the Manage Order page, it is specified that an Application work item should be routed first by county, and second by Alphanumeric. In this example, CCMS will route the information to a team according to their county information. Only if county information is not available will the work item be routed to teams based on alphanumeric information.

    • Although it is only required to select one routing rule, it is a best practice to define a routing priority for all four options.
    • Example: In the above example, the Work Item would first be routed to teams by the Work Item's assigned county. If county information is not documented in the Work Item, it is routed by Provider. If provider information is not available, it is routed according to the documented alphanumeric rules, etc.

Results of the Procedure:

Alphanumeric, County, Provider, and Provider Type Routing information is defined for a Work Item Type. The Work Item will now be routed in the priority defined order.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. On the Alphanumeric sub-tab, do all teams require a range start and end date?
    1. In CCMS, you can conduct a document search to view the date a document was scanned into CCMS. You can also view the document in CCMS to locate the imprint record that was added to the document during scanning.
    2. After the scan date and imprint number are located, conduct a Box Tracking Search, entering a date range in the From and To fields to locate box records created around the date of the scan. Review the search results to learn the start and end imprint information for each box to locate the correct box which holds the desired paper copy.
  2. When routing according to Alphanumeric, what name is used when determining routing?
    1. The last name of the person associated with the form on the Validate Documents page will be used for Alphanumeric routing.
