Complaints or other initiating Documents filed electronically shall be filed with the Action number blank. The E-filing System automatically assign an appropriate Action number upon completion of electronically filing the Complaint or other initiating Documents.

Any Document initiating an Action in the E-Filing System will automatically generate a Summons after the User has filed the action; and will include the type of service the user has requested. The circuit clerk shall forthwith issue the original summons as directed by the User initiating the Action upon payment for the action (including service fees) or approved fee waiver.
