Person Search

WINDOW OVERVIEW:

The Person Search window is used to search the N-FOCUS system for an existing person. Search for an existing person using the Social Security Number, demographic data (name, birth date, sex address), Person Number, or CFS Court Case number.

This designation will display on the Detail Master Case window, and the Person Detail window. During the Search process, for each person within a Restricted Master Case, the restriction will also display on the Search by Address, Search by Phone and Search by Account windows.
