Working with checklists

As a case agent, you can use checklists for a line of business to complete a set of checks or steps easily and effectively. While using a checklist, you can perform actions, such as selecting checklist items, updating the status of checklist items and adding comments to record the observations.

Example

Bill, a case agent, creates a case for AC maintenance and uses the checklist template that Ajay, the case business analyst created. Bill works on the checklist items and also adds an ad hoc checklist if the case or task does not have a prior checklist.
