Table 1. Setting up case management, case types, and service definitions

Task	Description
Configure case management	Configure the case management features that enable agents and customers to create cases for issues and questions, track the activities related to resolving issues, and provide communication between the agent and customer. Some of the case management features include the following: Configure a Case form view to display the desired fields and related lists. Configure SLA definitions for customer service cases to specify the time within which service must be provided. Configure major issue management to manage the communication and resolution process for issues that impact multiple customers. Configure special handling notes to bring important case information to an agent’s attention.
Customer service case types	Configure case types to handle different types of customer issues. When creating cases, agents can select the case type that corresponds to the customer issue.
Task Plan Templates	A task plan template defines the tasks, records, and conditions used to automatically create work when the template is applied.
Order Operations Case Management	Order Operations Case Management enables agents to manage issues across multiple orders or order lines within a single case. It uses order‑based case line items so agents can track, resolve, and close each issue independently before closing the overall order case.
Case Lines and Workflows	Case Lines and Workflows enables agents and customers to manage multiple related issues within a single case. It uses case line items to track, act on, and resolve each issue independently before closing the overall case.
Case Management for Invoice Operations	Case Management for Invoice Operations enables agents to manage invoice‑related issues within a single case. It uses invoice‑based case lines to track, resolve, and close multiple invoice or invoice‑line issues independently before closing the overall invoice case.
Service definitions	Configure service definitions that agents can use to create cases of the right type to support those service requests.
