Creating and Assigning Cases

Creating and Assigning Cases

Background:

Case records will be created anytime an issue is not resolved while on the interaction and follow-up is needed. Cases are owned by Support. Case Assignments are created to assign a task to another internal team (DP, Resolution Specialist, Compliance, C&T, etc.)

Always search for existing cases for the same issue prior to creating a new one.

If an interaction is resolved on the phone or chat, a case does not need to be created.

A case assignment is created when a case needs to be actioned by a boundary team, usually per SOP.
