Scenario
To ensure that customers are billed for only the services provided, the program manager wants the application to display a list of the services performed by the service provider. The list should include the name of the service performed, the unit cost of the service, the number of times the service was performed, the total cost for each service, and the total cost of the services performed. On the Perform service flow, configure the CopySelectedServices data transform to copy services provided from a Service case to an Assistance request case.
The following diagram displays the relationships of the Selected Services page list in the Assistance Request case type, and the Services page list in the Service case type to the Services offered data type.
The following table provides the credentials you need to complete the challenge.

2 Confirm your work
- From the Create menu, select New > Assistance Request to create a new case.
- On the Create view, click Done to advance the case to the Enter customer information view.
- From the Actions drop-down, select Change stage to move the case to a different stage.
- From the Next stage drop-down, select Choose a stage. A second drop-down list is displayed to the right that lists the stages defined for the Assistance Request case type.
- From the drop-down list of stage names, select Service to advance the case to the Service stage and display the Select services view.

- On the Select services view, enter the quantities provided in the following image. Verify that the total cost is USD100.
- Click Submit to complete the Select services assignment and resolve the Service case. The Review service summary view is displayed.
Tip: You can verify the Service case is set to Resolved-Completed in the Open assignments area.
- On the Review service summary view, verify that the Selected services table displays the three rows filled out in the Service case and that the value of the Invoice total field is USD100.
Note: The empty first line in the list is a result of the Selected services list initialization. The empty line is added to the field group list by the pySetFieldDefaults data transform in the AssistanceRequest class. To prevent the empty line from appearing in the list, open the data transform, and delete the line that sets the value of .SelectedServices(1).pyLabel.
Note: In a real-life implementation, ensure that the list of selected services in the Assistance Request caserestricts users from adding or removing items. You can remove the Add item and Delete controls by editing the section rule that displays the list, which is outside the scope of this challenge.
