Field descriptions for a complaint case

Complaint cases help the complaint agents resolve complaint service requests that they receive from the customers.

When a complaint service request is submitted, it creates a complaint case. Some of the fields on the case form are populated from the request from which it is created.

After the case is assigned, a complaint agent fills out the fields on the case when working on the playbook activities in the case.

Complaint case fields

The playbook activities in the Playbook tab of the complaint case provide case-related information.
