    Actions the customer can take:
    • Accept Solution: The customer accepts the solution proposed by the agent. The state changes to Closed and a survey is displayed.
    • Reject Solution: The customer rejects the solution proposed by the agent and the state changes to Open.
    • Delete: Deletes the case.

    Closed After proposing a solution, an agent waits for the customer to respond.
    • If the customer clicks Accept Solution, the state changes from Resolved to Closed.
    • If the customer clicks Reject Solution, the state changes from Resolved to Open.

    An agent, agent manager, or a customer can close a case at any time, except when it is in the Resolved state. When it is in the Resolved state, only a customer can accept or reject the proposed solution.

    When an agent or agent manager closes a case, details must be included in the Resolution notes. This is not required when a customer closes a case.

    A case cannot be updated once it is closed.
