Adding case types to organize work
To manage your Microjourney efficiently, automate and visualize your business processes by creating case types. When you implement case types, you organize your work into consistent and logical phases, collect and control the data that your process requires, and audit information to ensure that your outcomes are of top quality.
A case type is a reusable template that represents a business process. For better understanding of your customers' needs, design your application by describing the stages within a case type, then define the steps or processes that happen in each stage when the case workers process an actual case. This provides an easy way to capture objectives in a single view that all case participants, from application designers to executives and end users, can use to understand how a particular case type works and progresses. Cases can continue to change throughout their life cycle due to various internal and external events. Depending on the context of the case, different case workers can work to resolve individual tasks, processes, and stages. This flexibility helps you achieve your goals in the most effective way.
- To support and facilitate resolution of more complex cases, create a hierarchy
of parent-child cases. Organize smaller processes into child cases to resolve
for a parent case to reach its end.
For more information, see Case types.
- To ensure that the appropriate case worker receives a task, define routing for
assignments. You can assign tasks to a work queue, worklist, or a specific case
worker, or you can define routing logic that automatically chooses the correct
assignee at run time.
For more information, see Assigning tasks to users.
- To support timely case resolution, define service-level agreements (SLAs) for a
case type or specific stages or tasks within a case. Enrich the SLAs and make
them more effective by adding escalation actions.
For more information, see Completing work on time.
- To allow case workers to collect information and feedback from end users, design
surveys. Supplement the surveys with multiple question formats, such as text
boxes, sliders, or radio button matrices.
