Customer Service Generic Template

Updated on December 3, 2021

Use the Customer Service Generic Template to quickly create a new case type that follows best practices for case types and includes the most common case processing features. The Customer Service Generic Template includes the capabilities, stages, and steps described in this section.

Pega Customer Service Implementation Guide

A case type created from the Customer Service Generic Template includes switches called case processing options so that you can quickly enable and disable features.

Important: When you use a switch to enable or disable a feature, you do not need to manually make any changes to the case type workflow, such as removing a step. When a step is controlled by a switch, the step remains part of the workflow model, regardless of whether the feature is enabled or disabled.

This template is available in all Pega Customer Service applications, and it is located in the PegaCA-Work-Service workpool.

See the following topics for information about the Customer Service Generic Template:

Class structure

The Customer Service Generic Template is located in the PegaCA-Work-Service work pool. All case types that you create from this template will be located in that same work pool. If you create a new work pool for your case types, be sure that they inherit from the PegaCA-Work-Service work pool.

The following figure shows the template class structure:
