The app sends push notifications when the case status changes. You can use the app even if you have no internet access. After the connection is restored, the app uploads the changes to Creatio.

The Cases section lets you:

Create a new case​

  1. Tap the btn_add.png button. This opens the New case window.

  2. Fill out the case profile:

    1. Select the case category to accelerate case classification and transfer cases to dedicated experts faster: “Service request” or “Incident.” The field is required.

    2. Elaborate on the case in the Description field (optional).

    3. Attach files to the case (optional). To do this:

      • Tap the btn_attach.png Attach button.
      • Specify the source of the files to attach.
      • Select the relevant files. Out of the box, you can upload files up to 10 Mb. The administrator of the main Creatio application can change the maximum attachment file size. On the Attachments tab of the case record, you can view any attachments added when creating the case or as part of a conversation with support agent.

note

We recommend filling out the Description field when you create a case to ensure support agents receive the information required to solve the case. If you leave the Description field empty when you create a case, Creatio will populate the field with the value of the Category field.

Search for a case​

You can search for a case by description or number in the case list. To search for cases:

  1. Tap the btn_search.png button at the top of the screen. This opens the search bar.
  2. Enter a part of the case number or description in the search bar.
  3. The app displays the index of cases that match the search criteria. If the app finds no such cases, it displays the “No data” message.
