How can you determine whether a contact is lined and/or in sync?

To determine whether a contact is lined and/or in sync, selecting the contact in the 'parties involved' section and viewing the status on the basics screen provides immediate and clear information. This screen typically displays the current status of the contact, indicating if they are correctly lined to the claim and whether their information is synchronized with other relevant systems.

This method allows users to quickly assess the state of a contact, ensuring that they have the most up-to-date information available. It is a direct approach, using the system's built-in functionalities to derive the necessary information without having to sift through various claim files or logs.

Other options may indeed provide insights or lead to related information, but they do not offer the same straightforwardness as directly checking the contact’s status within the system. For example, while checking claim files for all related contacts might reveal additional relationships or inconsistencies, it would not specifically indicate the lined status or sync state of the particular contact being examined.
