Adding custom selections to label or case source menus
As a case business analyst, you can create case sources, labels, and resolution code.
Case sources define the channel that a requester uses to raise a request such as Phone, Email, Walk by, Portal, and so on. Case sources help to identify how many cases are requested through various channels. While creating a case, case agents can select a source for the case from the available list of sources. For example, an employee wants to change his address. The employee calls a case agent to raise a request. The case agent creates a case for changing the employee address and selects the case source as Phone.
You can create labels for cases, tasks, case templates, task templates, service target configurations, document templates, activity note templates, notification templates, email templates, case read access mappings, assignment mappings, and approval configurations. Labels help case agents to sort cases, tasks, templates, and mappings. For example, you create labels to add new case priority values, such as Urgent, Important, and so on, for your organization. While creating cases that need to be resolved urgently, case agents select the Urgent label for the cases. A case manager who wants to view all the cases that need to be resolved urgently, filters the cases by using the Urgent label.
You create resolution codes for cases that provide a generic category for the case resolution. For example, for the Human Resources team, you create resolution codes like bonus approved, bonus rejected, visa letter issued, salary query, and so on.
