Agents deal with ideas and tickets while working in Customer Case. Here they can browse the available forums, view and comment on the submitted ideas or tickets.

See the next sections for details:

Logging in to Forums

Jira agents can log in to feedback forums with their Jira account.

  1. Click on the Jira icon.
  2. In the opened form, enter your username and password in Jira.
  3. Click Sign in.

If you use different authentication options to log in to Customer Case, please consider the following:

  • Customer Case will automatically assign the Employee status to you, once you log in to the customer portal of your company with your Jira account. You can also get the Employee status if you sign in to Customer Case with your personal or social account prior to the first authorization with your Jira credentials. This can occur only when your Jira and social accounts share the same email address.
  • Nothing will happen if your Jira account and your social accounts are mapped to different email addresses. Depending on the authentication option, you will be treated by Customer Case as different users.

Managing Requests in Customer Case

Viewing and Commenting on Requests

Jira agents can instantly proceed to Jira when viewing a particular request on the forum.

Changing the Status of Requests

  1. Open the request in Customer Case.
  2. In the Status box, select the status of the request.

Adding Participants

Customer Case allows you to add participants for the submitted feature and support requests. On support forums, both the author of the request and support agents can add participants to the existing requests, on feedback forums only support agents can do this.

All the added participants receive a notification with the information about the person who added them as participants and the request information. If the person does not have an account in Customer Case, he or she will be prompted to sign up for the service. When adding participants on forums with access restrictions, Customer Case validates whether the email of the participant satisfies the defined access restrictions of the forum or not. If not, the notification is sent to the specified email address but the corresponded warning is displayed to the person who adds participants.

Now the users can view all the support requests that they submitted and the requests which they were added as participants into.

  1. In the right part of the screen, locate the Click to add a participant link and click it.
  2. Enter the email address of a person you want to add as a participant and press Enter.
  3. Click Add once complete.

You can pin only one comment to the top of the list. If there is a comment already pinned to the top, you can either unpin it or pin another comment that will replace the current one. You can pin the comments of Jira agents and customers.

  3. Click Pin to top.
  4. Confirm the action.
  5. The Official answer section with the comment appears.
  6. To unpin the comment, click Unpin.

If the thread of comments is too long, but you need to locate where the pinned comment was posted you can view the comment in its original context. Click View original context.
