Managing cases
Q: How are cases ordered on My cases screen?
A: My Cases are ordered as follows - Cases with a recent update (shown in bold) are listed first. Other cases are ordered by due date if there is a due date and by date received if unchecked and there is no due date.
Q: How the linked cases feature works?
A: Cases are automatically linked in the system by Customer and the Reference.
There is also option to link manually via the Linked cases option within the Manage cases status screen.
Options available include:
Link to case - Provide reference number of case to link to. The system will create a link in both cases.
Similar case - Use keywords to search other cases with similar details. Please note system will look in aa number of places including details of the case, classification and action requested. It will look for whole words or partial words and can be used with 'and', 'or' 'not' parameters.
Find case - Will allow to restrict search to specific teams, case type, case contact, name and keywords.
Q: How do I change the outcome details if entered incorrectly?
A: Re-open case, use the green (backward) arrow of the outcome to undo the outcome, make the changes to the outcome and close the case again.
Q: How do I edit / remove a note?
A: Use the icons
beside the note to Edit or remove:If the case is closed, you need to re-open the case to edit / remove the note. Then remember to close the case using the same date closure that the case was originally closed on.
Q: When we add tasks from the All actions area but then cancel it, the task is still added to the What's next area. Is that an issue with the system?
A: If a task is selected from the All actions menu and you click back / previous to not initiate the task, the task will still be added to the case. You'll need to cancel it from the What's next area if you don't want it to remain.
Q: We can't see the Initial assessment task or the Prepare response?
A: If manual tasks have been added to the case you'll need to complete / remove them to ensure the workflow task can generate.
Q: We have recategorised a case but can't the option to carry out Initial assessment?
A: Any outstanding tasks or correspondences on a case need to be removed prior to re-categorising a case to ensure the 'Initial assessment' task appears after re-categorisation. If this was not done prior to recategorising then you can still do so after.
Q: Why can't a user open up a file that is in the Document tab?
A: When you click a link to download a file, the MIME type determines what action is taken. If you see an "Opening <filename>" dialog asking if you want to save the file or open it with a specified application, that normally means that the system cannot handle the MIME type internally, possibly due to the MIME type being restricted. In order to get this resolved you need to consult with your IT team so they can associate this type of file with a word document (or the one of your preference).
Q: Why can't I stop the clock, ours is a FCA regulated financial system?
A: In a financial system you do not have an option to 'Stop the clock'. You can use the 'Extend timescale' option from the All actions area to extend from 4 to 8 weeks and if you still do not receive the information it would be within your jurisdiction to close the case and inform the customer accordingly. Furthermore, it would be a compliance issue to allow for a 'stop the clock' feature in a FCA regulated complaint handling process.
Q: A case is not escalating to the next level, it's going around in a loop. What's causing this?
A: The team which handled the complaints doesn't have a designated stage 2 in the service menu / business structure configuration. This means the complaint has nowhere to go once it is escalated, resulting in the loop you're experiencing. Please ask your administrator to set the escalation team via the service menu / business structure.
Q: How do we add notes as basic users?
A: Please see attached document for more information.
Q: How can I undo an outcome?
A: You need to first reopen the case from the Status section:
You can then undo the outcome by selecting the [
] icon next to the Complaint outcome in the What's done area.Q: The service is not displaying on a case. How can an officer bypass the recording of the service?
A: The case was raised via the website (self-service forms). Self service forms don't go through the service menu, they are sent to the unallocated cases folder and administrators/power users are required to categorise the forms before they become a "case" in the system with the service set against it.
Q: When we try to upload a document we get the following error message 'Sorry. Could not upload your document. Please save a copy and contact your administrator'
A: It is most likely that the problem is related to the word connector issue. Please make sure that the word connector has been set up correctly for the user, instructions following this link
https://icasework.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/UsefulFeedback/pages/15598125/Microsoft+Word+connector
If you have verified that the connector is set up correctly, please ask an user who is not experiencing problems with Word to log in to the computer that is having problems and vice-versa. Also ask the IT team to check that there are no security settings imposed to macros etc.
Q: Is there a way of scheduling a time to call a customer back? As most customer specify a date and time, they want to be called back.
A: You can add a task that will schedule an inbound or outbound call to the customer via "All actions" under the "What's next" section and "Tasks".
In order to schedule the call, select "Customer contact" or "Conference call" (if more than one person needs to attend the call). In the next screen you can schedule the call - the task will be allocated to the user that created the task. However, It can be re-assigned to other users in the system.
Q: How does the Drag file option work?
A: The drag and drop option allows users to pick up a virtual object from one screen and drop it in another location. Please see this short video to show this function https://www.screencast.com/t/rXlloUnDlh. Please make sure flash player is installed in the machine where you need to access the video.
Q: How does GetNextCase allocate cases?
A: GetNextCase will find the next case based on the case received date if no target date is set on that case. If the case has a target date then it will order by the target date and find you the next case that is due.
Q: Is there a limit on the number of characters on the Note field?
A: Character limit on notes is 13,000.
