  4. Using the Select action drop-down field, select the specific status progression value of Reassign Case.
  5. Click on Next. The Case Assignment window is displayed, revealing the current owners of the support provision case.
  6. Using the New user drop-down field, multi-select all desired user accounts to whom the support provision case will be reassigned, or choose the All option, as required 1.
  7. Using the New role drop-down field, multi-select all overarching roles, representing a wider subset of user accounts to whom the support provision case will be reassigned, or choose the All option, as required.
  8. Using the Reassignment reason drop-down field, select a parameter value to qualify the circumstances surrounding the change of support provision case ownership 2.

Tip

1 Where only a small number of parameter values are not required, activate the All tick box first and then deselect individual items from the full list, as appropriate; the All tick box will be automatically removed once an item is deselected.

Note

1 Additional search criteria may need to be employed (e.g. start and end date ranges, company, status, support type) to ensure that the correct support provision case is returned; an alternative Search by category of Contact or Contact Group may be selected to extend the available search fields.

2 These custom values can be populated by the end user via the general lookup parameter entitled System Case and Task Ownership Reasons.
