Creating/Editing Auto-Entitlement Case Rules
To create a new auto-entitlement rule for a Case:
1. Click New Rule in the Auto-Entitlements screen. A sample Auto-Entitlement rule page is displayed. Alternatively, select the rule and then click Edit to edit an existing rule. Clone and Edit modes are displayed in the same screen.
2. In the Auto-Entitlement Rule for Cases screen:
◦ Enter the rule name. Make sure this name distinctly identifies the purpose of the rule and is readable. For example “High priority cases from ABC company.”
◦ Enter a detailed description of the rule.
◦ Using the combination of Case field name, operator and value, enter the applicable entry criteria for this rule. Only those Cases that match the criteria will be entitled to using the rule. Make sure the entry criteria are exclusive to each rule. Use the buttons marked with x and + to remove and add conditions respectively. If required, use the Advanced Expression to enter conditions such as (1 AND 2) OR 3.
◦ When entering values in the expressions, in addition to literal values, you can use the predefined values listed below for certain field types:
