Automating case assignment based on user responses

This use case shows how to automate case assignment based on user responses to questionnaire or service requests in BMC Helix Digital Workplace Advanced.

When a service request is created in BMC Helix Digital Workplace Advanced by using a service catalog, the requester must answer some questions. When the service request is saved, a corresponding case is created in BMC Helix Business Workflows. When a process is created to map the answers to a assigned group, the case is automatically assigned to a support group.
