Dashboard Views and Menu Items

The Dashboard is your home screen in the ECF portal. Each time you log in, you land here. It provides an at-a-glance view of your filings and cases, organized by status. Use the tiles to filter the grid, and use the left navigation menu to create filings, join cases, view cases, or open your calendar.

Dashboard tiles

The colored tiles across the top each represent a filing status. Click a tile to filter the grid below and show only filings with that status.

Accepted Filings

Filings that have been reviewed and accepted by the Clerk's Office. Accepted filings are converted to cases and assigned a WCA Case Number. To add pleadings by opening an accepted filing from this tile (dashboard path), see the Alternative path: Add a pleading from Accepted Filings section in WCA Case - Add pleadings to existing case.

Rejected Filings

Filings that were rejected by the Clerk's Office before case conversion. Correct the issue and resubmit the filing. For more information, see Create Filing and Submission. For rejected pleadings on an already accepted case, see WCA Case — Resubmission of Rejected Pleadings.

Saved Filings

Drafts you started and saved but have not yet submitted. These filings are visible only to you. You can return to a saved filing at any time to continue working and submit it.

Submitted Filings

Filings you have submitted to the WCA Clerk's Office that are awaiting review. They have been sent but not yet accepted or rejected.

Below the tiles, the grid lists your filings. It updates to show only the filings for the tile you selected. When no tile is selected, all filings are shown.
