Automating case assignment by configuring assignment mapping

This use case describes how cases are automatically assigned to the relevant support groups by mapping the flowset, case category, and case priority to the support group. 

Scenario

BMC Helix Business Workflows enables the case business analyst to configure the assignment mapping and automatically assign the case to the support group defined in the assignment mapping.  

Consider a scenario, where an employee within an organization submits a service request for updating his legal name. A case agent creates a case and assigns the case to the HR Employee relations support group. A second employee within the same organization submits a service request for a payroll query. A case agent creates a case and based on the case details assigns the case to the HR Compensation and Benefits support group.

(Version 20.08.01) With multiple service requests being submitted, the case agents have to create multiple cases with different case details and have to identify the support groups in a line of business to which the case has to be assigned. This process is manual and can be prone to errors.

(Version 20.08) With multiple service requests being submitted, the case agents have to create multiple cases with different case details and have to identify the support groups to which the case has to be assigned. This process is manual and can be prone to errors.

(Version 20.08.01) To overcome the challenges posed by the manual process, the case business analyst can configure assignment mapping for cases in a line of business, which matches the values from the case details with the values defined in the mapping, identifies the best match, and then automatically assigns the case to the correct support group.
