Adding Updates to Service Requests


Customer service representatives might want to add an update to a service request to ask the customer for more information about the issue or to notify the customer that they are currently investigating the issue. To add an update to a service request, you associate with the service request an activity that describes the nature of the update. Customers who can access that service request can view the activity record under the Updates heading of the service request on the Siebel eService Web site.

This task is a step in Process of Administering Service Requests.
