IHTM08051 - File movements: back to rack


When an open file is not currently required by the caseworker it is sent for temporary storage in the registry rack. On the ALF ( IHTM03291) computer system this location is shown as ‘Rack A’ (in Edinburgh it is EDIN RACK).

When you receive a file that is to be returned to the registry rack you should

  • delete any BU dates from ALF that have been crossed through on the file cover – in Edinburgh you will need to delete any old BU dates from ALF and cross through them on the file cover
  • add any BU dates on ALF that have been added to the file cover, including progress reviews – in Edinburgh tick and initial these
  • change the current location on ALF to the registry rack (Rack A or EDIN RACK)
  • place the file in the rack according to its year and reference number
