## Canceling Cases in Patient CRM

Patient CRM users can cancel a case directly from Case Details. This is useful when a case is duplicated or created inadvertently.

Cases can be canceled while in any active state. Cases in a terminal state, for example, Solved or Closed, can not be canceled. Users must enter a public comment to capture the cancellation reason on the Case Timeline. Once canceled, the case is removed from default list views and becomes read-only.

**Who can use this feature?**

#### Linking a Patient Journey to a Case

Users cannot link a Patient Journey to a canceled Intake Case.

The Patient Intake tab’s visibility and behavior after a case is canceled depends on whether a Patient Journey Association exists:

* If an association exists and the Patient Intake tab is in read-only mode, the tab remains read-only
* If an association does not exist and the Patient Intake tab is in edit more, the tab is hidden

Depending on whether a Patient Journey Association exists determines if the Patient Intake tab is displayed:

* If a Patient Journey Association exists and the Patient Intake tab is in read-only mode, the Patient Intake tab remains remains read-only after the case is canceled
* If a Patient Journey Association does not exist and the Patient Intake is in edit mode, the Patient Intake tab is hidden after the case is canceled.
