The MyTown services coordinator wants to review all the repairs performed as a result of a resident service request. If the repair is satisfactory, the case is approved and then resolved. If the repair is unsatisfactory, the case is rejected and returns to the Review stage so that a new repair can be scheduled. Upon returning to the Review stage, the case status is Open.

The following table provides the credentials you need to complete the challenge.
