Scenario
During the processing of Assistance Request cases, a customer service representative (CSR) may need to request a credit on the behalf of the customer. Requests for credits are processed and authorized by a manager using a second, legacy system. An integration to the system for credit requests is scheduled for a future release. To ensure the prompt processing of credit requests, stakeholders want to display Pulse notifications on the dashboard so that CSRs can notify managers when a case requires a credit to be issued to the customer.
In addition, stakeholders want to track the user performance on Assistance Request cases on the dashboard using the Average duration per flow task report.
The following table provides the credentials you need to complete the challenge.
Role | User name | Password |
---|---|---|
Application Developer | author@gogoroad | pega123! |
Customer Service Representative | csr@gogoroad | pega123! |
