Cases create a more formalized next step for action or intervention on progress reports and issued kudos/referral/alerts.
Open and closed cases are stored on the student’s profile page, the Cases page, and in Reports.
Each case has a workflow. The department or person assigned a case will know and be a part of the conversation before cases are assigned. The ability to view cases is permission based.
Quick Actions button lets you take action on the Case.
Follow button, which allows you to receive notifications when action is taken on a Case. Case assignees and owners will continue to receive notifications as they did prior to this release.
The Case Summary section shows all key information about the case. Edit Details in this section using the button.
The Edit Case Details panel allows you to make several changes. The user can change the case's owner, assign or reassign the case, change the Case Status (new), or add a comment.
