    Creating and Publishing Post Case Reviews

    Agents can create post case reviews only for cases in the Resolved state by using the "Create Post Case Review" UI action, which generates a case action summary record linked to the case form. Before publishing, agents can preview the document and request approval by assigning approval groups or users. Approvers receive email notifications and can approve or request changes through work notes. Publishing the review adds a PDF link to the case form's Additional comments and makes the document accessible via customer portals if enabled.

    Configuration and Case Closure

    The content and template of post case review documents are controlled by configuration records that specify which case information is captured. If a case is closed while a post case review is in progress, agents can still update the case with the document link, and the review form indicates the case closure status.

    Role-Based Actions

    • Customer Service Agents: Can create, preview, request approval, publish, reopen, and edit post case reviews for resolved cases.
    • Customer Service Managers: Responsible for reviewing, approving, and suggesting changes to post case reviews.
    • Major Issue Managers: Can create and publish post case reviews for resolved major cases and copy these documents to associated child cases.
    • Customers: Can view published post case reviews through the Customer and Consumer Service Portals.

    Post Case Reviews for Major Cases

    For major cases, customer service and major issue managers create and publish post case reviews that exclude account-specific data initially. Managers can copy these reviews to child cases, where account-specific information is added. Enabling this feature requires setting the sncustomerservice.parentchildcasesync system property to true, which disables the creation of post case reviews on child cases.

    Use a post case review to capture details about a resolved case, including a summary of the issue, affected assets, root cause, resolution, and any preventive measures.

    Creating a post case review

    Customer service agents can create post case reviews for cases that are in the Resolved state.

    Agents can select the Create Post Case Review UI action to create a post case review document. This action creates a case action summary record and adds the record to the Related Records section on the Case form in the Post Case Review field.

    Publishing a post case review

    Agents can preview a post case review document before publishing and, if necessary, have the document reviewed and approved.

    Agents can add an approval group or approval users to the Post Case Review record and then request approval. The system sends an email notification to the approvers with a link to the post case review document. The approvers can either approve the document or suggest changes by adding them to the Work notes field on the Post Case Review record.

    When an agent publishes a post case review document, the system adds a link to a PDF of the document in the Additional comments field on the Case form. The system also adds the record to the Related Records section on the Case form in the Post Case Review field. If the document is available to customers, the link is visible from the Customer and Consumer Service Portals.

    Post case review configuration records

    The configuration selected for post case review documents identifies the information from the case that is captured and populated in post case review record. The configuration also specifies the template that the system uses to create the post case review document.

    Closing a case while a post case review is in progress

    If a case is closed while the post case review document is in progress, agents can still update the Additional comments on the Case form with the post case review document link. Once a case is closed, the Post Case Review form displays a message that the associated case has been closed.

    Post case reviews for major cases

    Customer service managers and major issue managers can create and publish post case review documents for resolved major cases. These documents capture the case data specified in the configuration but do not include account-specific information. The customer service manager can also copy a post case review document to the associated child cases. The system adds the account-specific information when it generates the document for each child case.

    The system administrator can enable post case review documents for major cases by setting the sn_customerservice.parent_child_case_sync system property to true.
    Note:
    Setting this property to true disables the Create Post Case Review UI action for child cases.
