Scenario

After reviewing the progress on the service request case development, the MyTown Mayor and the Services Coordinator see additional areas for improvement and request the following changes:

  • The Service Request case is resolved automatically when the Resolution stage is complete. The Resolution stage should reflect the resolved case status. 

The Mayor and the Services coordinator provide the following table of the desired case statuses and instructions.

Step or Stage Status Instruction
Schedule repair step Open Assign a due date for the issue
Perform repair step Pending-Fulfillment Perform and document the repair
Resolution stage Resolved-Completed (none)
