The case form

The case form is a record of all information about a case. When you are creating a new case, you use the case form to record important information about the case. When you save the case, the case is routed to the appropriate service group.

The case forms that you use have been configured to best serve the needs of the populations for whom they are used. The case form can differ from population to population. For example, one population can hide some fields. Another population might use additional custom fields. A third population might use the same fields as the first population but can offer different options.

If a population that you serve has been configured with quick cases, agents can use them to save time and effort when creating new cases.

The case form is organized into five areas:
