Adding and configuring SOPs

In this application, a standard operating procedure (SOP) is a link to a web site or web page where the user can review a relevant SOP. A SOP can be associated with a topic, category or subcategory. When a SOP is associated with a topic, category or subcategory, a button is displayed next to the item in the case form. A service center user who is creating the case form or viewing it later can click the button to access the SOP in a new window.

To configure a SOP, you add the SOP to the system and then associate it with a topic, category or subcategory. This topic describes the process by which a SOP is added to the system. For information about associating an SOP with a topic, category or subcategory, seeAdding and configuring topics, Adding and configuring categories and Adding and configuring subcategories.

When you add a SOP to the system, you specify the name and the URL where the SOP information is available. You can hide a SOP without having to delete it from the system.
