Adding custom selections to case source menus

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. As an administrator, you can create case sources that can be used by case agents while creating a case. Case sources that you create are available for all lines of business.

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.
