The PACFile Dashboard

This is an important feature to understand because your Dashboard plays a significant role within PACFile. Every time you access PACFile on the UJS Web Portal, your Dashboard represents the starting point for submitting, managing, and viewing case-related information electronically in the Pennsylvania Courts.
