This chapter provides overviews of call center business units, display templates, and assignment options and discusses how to:
Define call center business units.
Define display template general options for PeopleSoft Call Center.
Manage policies using case display template actions.
A call center business unit represents an operational entity, an individual call center within your organization. You must associate all call center cases with a business unit. All call center reporting and analysis is based on business units. You can configure different business units for different business processes.
You can use one business unit for all cases, or you can separate operations based on whatever criteria makes the most sense. For example, you could create business units for different product lines or regions.
Before creating multiple call center business units, be sure that you understand the concept of tableset controls, the mechanism that is used to determine valid values for certain fields on the Case page and other transactional pages.
See Understanding TableSet Controls in PeopleSoft CRM.
This section discusses:
Appearance and behavior control.
Display template families.
Active Analytics Framework (AAF) policies and display templates.
Defaulting logic.
Delivered display templates for call center applications.
Display templates enable you to control the appearance and behavior of the Case component (RC_CASE) for a variety of specific business needs. You can associate the Case component with multiple display templates, each of which provides a different presentation of the component tailored for your specific needs.
The PeopleSoft CRM Call Center application delivers the Case component with multiple templates. You can, however, create new display templates or modify existing ones. You can also automatically change display templates on the pages within the Case component based on certain case criteria using AAF policies. Additionally, agents can manually change their views of cases using different display templates.
For example, suppose that you are using the three delivered display templates for the Case component in your call center operation: Customer Support Center, Internal IT HelpDesk, and Internal Human Resources HelpDesk. You can configure how the component looks and behaves in each operation based upon your business requirements.
You may also want to disable the Related Cases page for the two help desk display templates, change the Customer Information section label to Employee Information for the help desk display templates, disable the Dispute Information section in display templates that are not pertinent to the communications industry, and so on.
Use display templates to control:
Visibility of pages. (You cannot change the order of the pages.)
Visibility of page sections. (You cannot change the order of the sections.)
Visibility and security of page fields.
Functionality and setup options that are initiated by display templates.
Default pages that appear when users access the component in the add or update mode.
Most labels on fields, sections, and tabs within sections.
Note. From the Display Template Details component, you can change labels for a section, field, or embedded tabs without first creating a message catalog definition. The system automatically creates the message or label behind the scenes.
See Configuring Display Templates for Components.
You can categorize display templates into families. Once an agent opens a case, however, the agent cannot change the display template family. Depending on how you configure your system, an agent can use different display templates to view information for the same case.
Use the Display Template Family component (RDT_TMPL_FAMILY) to specify which display templates and components are assigned to the display template family.
The PeopleSoft system delivers a number of display template families for its call center applications. You cannot, however, add new display template families. You can add and create new display templates and assign them to an existing display template family. You can also change the description of a display template family.
To clone an existing display template and assign it to a display template family, use the Display Template Save As page.
See Also
To render case information using a specific display template based on predetermined AAF policy conditions, you can create new AAF policies using the Case Display Template action.
You can associate these trigger points with the Case Display Template action for agent-facing Case components:
After a HelpDesk Case is Saved.
After a Support Case is Saved.
When a Business Unit is Selected for HelpDesk Case.
When a Business Unit is Selected for Support Case.
When a Case Type is Selected for HelpDesk Case.
When a Case Type is Selected for Support Case.
When a Category is Selected for HelpDesk Case.
When a Category is Selected for Support Case.
When a HelpDesk Case is Presented.
When a New Self-Service HelpDesk Case is Presented.
When a New Self-Service Support Case is Presented.
When a Product Group is Selected for HelpDesk Case.
When a Product Group is Selected for Support Case.
When a Product is selected for a HelpDesk Case.
When a Product is Selected for Support Case.
When a Support Case is Presented.
When an Existing Self-Service HelpDesk Case is Presented.
When an Existing Self-Service Support Case is Presented.
You can associate these trigger points with the Case Display Templateaction for both self-service Case components:
When a New Self-Service Support Case Business Unit is Selected.
When a New Self-Service HelpDesk Case Business Unit is Selected.
Additionally, you can use the Manage Policies by Case Display Template Action search page to locate all the policies that use the Case Display Template action.

Working with Active Analytics Framework
The system uses defaulting logic to determine which display templates and display template families to use when an agent opens a new case. This section discusses these three types of defaulting logic:
Display template family.
Business unit.
Display template ID.
Display Template Family Defaulting Logic
The display template family defaulting logic uses content references (CREFs) to determine which display template family to use when an agent opens a new case. The system typically gets the display template family directly from the CREF that is associated with the link in the left-hand navigation.
This logic is only used to add a new case. When updating an existing case, the system retrieves the display template family information from the existing Case record.
If the display template family is not available in the CREF, the system looks for the display template ID in the CREF. If it is not there, the system displays an error message.
If the display template ID is in the CREF, the system gets the display template family from the display template ID. To locate this information, the system looks at the display template family setup pages for the display template family that is associated with the component.
The PeopleSoft system delivers these display template family codes for the following call center applications and industries:
Application |

Note. You cannot change the display template families that are associated with the CREF. You can, however, add as many display templates as you need to the display template family.
This flowchart shows how the system uses content references to locate the correct display template family when it creates a new case:
Display template family defaulting logic
Business Unit Defaulting Logic
If you set up the User Preferences - Call Center page with display template, component, and business unit information, the system gets the business unit from the User Preferences page.
If the default business unit is not valid, the system uses the first business unit and display template ID in the list on the Case page for the Business Unit field. If an agent changes the business unit that the user has access to while on the Case page, the system looks at the Display Template page within the Call Center Business Unit Definition component to display the correct display template family.
This flowchart shows how the system uses the information on the User Preferences - Call Center page to locate the correct display template family to use when an agent is creating a new case:
Business unit defaulting logic
Display Template ID Defaulting Logic
The system can locate the display template ID and display it on a new case in one of four ways:
From a CREF.
From user preferences.
From the display template family setup.
Using AAF policies.
If you set up AAF policies using an action called Case Display Template, the system uses defaulting logic to find the correct display template ID to display on a case based on certain conditions contained within the policy. This flowchart shows the defaulting logic that the system uses:
Display template ID defaulting logic
Note. When implementing the integration of HelpDesk to PeopleSoft
or E-Business HCM, it is important that users have the appropriate display
template ID specified in their user preferences. As delivered, the CREF's
for Add Case and Search Case point to a display template family, so the user
preference is checked to determine the correct display template ID to use
for a case.
As delivered, the correct display template ID to list in user preferences
to open a PeopleSoft HR HelpDesk Case from the left hand navigation is CRM_HHD. The
delivered display template ID to be specified to open an E-Business HR HelpDesk
Case from the left hand navigation is CRM_HHD_EBS.

Important! PeopleSoft CRM delivers system data for each component that supports display templates. Stored in the Display Template System Data component, the system data dictates which parts of the component that functional users are able to control using the predefined display templates (display templates are defined in the Display Template Definition component). Access to these two components is restricted to IT administrators only. You can change this information if you need to. PeopleSoft considered these types of changes a configuration rather than a customization. You cannot, however create new families, just new templates within the delivered families.
The Options page has two sections: Agent and Self-service. Each section has options for provider group assignment and for agent assignment.
Note. In addition to the options, you can automatically assign self-service cases to a provider group (but not to an agent) by specifying a default provider group on the Case Defaults page. However, auto-assignment settings on this page take precedence: the system will first attempt to assign cases based on the settings on the Business Unit - Options page. Only if that attempt fails does the system assign the case to the default Assign To provider group that is specified on the Case Defaults page.
This section discusses:
Provider group assignment.
Person assignment.
See Setting Up and Maintaining Provider Groups and Group Members.
The following definitions describe options for automatically assigning new cases to provider groups. These settings apply only when the Provider Group field or the Assigned To field is blank in a newly submitted case—the system does not override an existing value in the Provider Group field. For example, if you use a Quick Code to assign a provider group, the system does not attempt to assign a provider group when you save.
Select None if you do not want any automatic assignment to occur; assignments must be made manually. Note. Delivered AAF policies for cases send notifications to the agent or provider group that is assigned to a newly created case. If you allow unassigned cases to be saved, you should define a mechanism for routing and handling these cases. |
|
Select Any or Available to invoke the assignment engine when the case is saved. If you select Any, the assignment engine finds the worker or provider group with the highest overall fit score. Note. If a user manually assigns an agent to the case and the agent is in exactly one provider group, the system automatically assigns the agent's provider group to the case when it is saved. If the agent is in more than one provider group, the system leaves the Provider Group field blank on the Case page when the case is saved. You could, however, have a provider group that is available and none of the workers are available. |
|
Select Any or Available to invoke the assignment engine when the case is saved. If you select Available, the assignment engine looks only at provider groups that are currently available according to the schedules you create. |
|
Select Default to assign a case to its creator. This value does not invoke the assignment engine. If you select Default, the system will address whether an agent is on the case. If an agent is on the case and that agent is in only one provider group, the system assigns that provider group as the Default provider group. Otherwise, the system leaves the Provider Group field blank. Selecting Default forces the system to find the group for the agent that has already been selected. If the agent is a member of more than one group, the system leaves the Provider Group blank. Note. This option is available only for cases created by agents, not for cases created by self-service application users. However, you can set up a self-service provider group on the Case Defaults page using the Assigned to Provider Group field for self-service call center components. |
The following definitions describe options for automatically assigning new cases to individual agents. These settings apply only when the Assigned To field is blank in a newly submitted case; the system does not override an existing value in the Assigned To field. For example, if you use a Quick Code to assign an agent, then the system does not attempt to assign a different agent when you save the case.
Note. The system always assigns a provider group first, and then an agent.
Indicates that the system does not assign new cases to agents. Note. Be aware that delivered AAF policies for cases send notifications to the agent or provider group that is assigned to a newly created case. If you allow agents to save unassigned cases, you should define a mechanism for routing and handling those cases. |
|
Select to have the assignment engine assign the case to the person with the highest fit score (if a provider group was previously entered, either manually or through auto-assignment). If the system did not assign a provider group, then it does not assign an agent either. |
|
Select to have the assignment engine check worker schedules and assign cases only to agents who are available at the time the case is assigned. Note. The Any and Available options use the assignment engine. For the assignment engine to assign an agent, a provider group must already be assigned. |
|
Select to have the system assign the case to the agent who created the case. This setting only applies if the case is new. If you update an existing case and clear the Assigned To field, the system leaves it blank. This functionality is true for the other assignment options as well. If you want to run the assignment engine after the initial creation of the case, you need to use the Suggest a Provider Group and Suggest an Agent buttons next to the fields. The system handles case assignments according to these rules:
Note. This option is for cases created by agents. For cases created through a self-service application, you can set up a default provider group on the Case Defaults page that you can use for self-service. The system will assign a provider group, but it will not assign an agent. |
To define call center business units, use the Call Center Definition (RC_BUS_UNIT) component.
This section lists prerequisites and discusses how to:
Create a call center business unit.
Define business rules for a call center business unit.

Working with Business Units and TableSet Controls
Before you can associate a call center business unit with a default business unit in PeopleSoft FieldService, Inventory, Quality Management, or Sales, you must first create business units for the specific application.
You may also want to do some other setup tasks, such as creating case statuses, provider groups, category/type/details, and so on.

Displays the business unit identifier you entered when you first accessed the page. To maximize system performance, always use exactly five characters. |
Description |
Enter the description that you want to appear on the Case page and other places where the business unit appears. |
The Default SetID field appears only when you open the Call Center BU page in Add mode. Once you create the business unit, the system sets up default tableset control information, and you must use the TableSet Control page to change the default. Enter or select the default setID for the business unit. When you create a business unit, the system copies the setID for each record group from the tableset control of the setID you have entered. In the tableset control record, each of the delivered record groups is associated with the setID that you enter here or a setID that is being shared (SHARE) with other setIDs. Note. The system will always create a setID that is equal to the business unit that you create. Every business unit is also a setID. |
|
Indicates the call center status. Values are: Open (active) or Closed (inactive). The system does not process transactions for closed business units. Note. You cannot create a new case for a closed business unit, but you can continue working a case that has already been created with a business unit that was closed after the case was opened. |
|
This button appears only when you open the Call Center BU page in Add a New Business Unit mode. Click to establish the tableset controls for the call center business unit based on the default setID that you specify. Other pages in the component and many of the fields on this page are unavailable until you click the Create BU button to create the business unit. |
The following fields are not available until you click the Create BU button. Use these fields to specify default business units to use when creating certain types of objects from the Related Actions section on the Case page, the Related Actions section on the Case Summary page, or from the Related Actions page within the Case component.
These fields are relevant only if you integrate with the specified product. Agents can override the defaults that are established here.
Self-Service Description |
Enter a description for self-service application users. This description should be meaningful to users who are unfamiliar with the organization of your call center business unit. |
Enter the default FieldService business unit to use when creating service orders from call center cases. When you establish tableset sharing, ensure that the field service business unit and the call center business unit prompt against the same set of customers. |
|
Enter the default RMA business unit to use when creating a return material authorization from a case. |
|
Enter the default Sales business unit to use when creating a sales lead from the Related Actions page in a call center case. When you establish tableset sharing, make sure that the sales business unit and the call center business unit prompt against the same set of customers. |
|
Enter the default Quality Management business unit to use when creating or relating a defect to a case. You can create a new defect or relate an existing defect. In either case, the system displays the business unit that you enter here on the page. |
|
Enter the default Order Capture business unit to use when entering an order related to a case. Note. If you use a lead qualification script to transfer to Order Capture from either the Support or HelpDesk case component, the business unit must be valid for your Order Capture application or you must select a default order capture business unit on this setup page. |

Select if you are using the billing functionality for support cases. Select the Details link to enter price by currency and rate type information. Note. This field appears only if you selected the Send Billing Transactions to Contracts and Calculate Price on Case check boxes on the Installation Options - Billing and Pricing Options page. |
This field controls who sees data in the Financial Account field on the FSI Case page. Use the Security Matrix setup page (select Set Up CRM, Security, Financial Services, Security Matrix) to establish a hierarchy (or matrix) of people who can access a specific financial account. When you select this check box, only those people in the matrix can see the account numbers in the account prompt. If you do not select this check box, the agent cannot complete a transaction for the particular financial account or business contact for the customer. Also, the account owner cannot complete the transaction without the security matrix permission created for the financial account or business contact on the specified transaction. On the Case page for PeopleSoft Support, the security matrix controls the display of financial accounts in the customer information section. If any consumer or contact that is used on the case has transactions permission, you can select or view the security matrix and their financial accounts. You can control the Billing Account display using the FSI Options page (select Set Up CRM, Product Related, Financial Services, FSI Options). Using display templates, you can enable or disable the display of the Financial Account fields. Note. Billing accounts and financial accounts are related to each other. If a billing account is associated with one or more financial accounts, the system displays the financial accounts associated with the billing account when you select it on the Case page. |
|
Percent of SLA for Red (percent of service level agreement for red) |
Enter a number to indicate the percentage of SLA (Service Level Agreement) restore time that needs to pass before the system turns the case to red. For example, enter 90 (enter a whole number, not a decimal amount) if you want a case to turn red when it has reached 90 percent of the SLA restore time. In addition, this calculation takes into account the time the case is on hold. |
Percent of SLA for Yellow percent of Service Level Agreement for yellow) |
Enter a number to indicate the percentage of SLA restore time that needs to pass before the system turns the case to yellow. The number you enter in this field must be lower than the red number or you will receive an error message. As such, a case should turn yellow before it turns red. These fields will accept numbers between 1 and 999. Do not enter decimal amounts. |

Select to automatically update the status of an ad hoc solution to Submitted for Review when a solution resolves a case. |
Solve Case from Outbound Notification |
Select to allow cases of this business unit to be resolvable when outbound notifications are sent. This option is selected by default. When selected, the Send and Solve toolbar button appears on the Outbound Notification page if the initiating transaction is case. You can click this button for the system to perform these tasks:
|
Email Resolution Solution ID |
Select to specify a solution that attaches to cases when users click the Send and Solve button on the Outbound Notification page. Solutions meeting these criteria are available for selection:
When the system resolves a case from an outbound notification, it attaches a solution to the case with a solution status of Successful Resolution and then sets the status of the case to the predefined resolved case status. As a result, the system also increases the usage count of the canned solution by one as well. Note. If you access the Outbound Notification page by clicking the Email button to email a solution and click the Send and Solve button, the selected solution is then used to attach to the related case as the successful resolution. The canned solution does not apply when a solution is already selected. This option is selected automatically if the Solve Case from Outbound Notification option is selected. Make sure to specify an email resolution solution; otherwise, an error message appears if you click the Send and Solve button but no canned solution is available to attach and resolve the case. In this case, the system sends the notification but it does not resolve the case. |
Enable Case Match |
Select this to enable case matching for this Business Unit. Case matching enables you to instruct the system to find cases that are similar to the case you are presently viewing. This provides a quick way to check if the issue from the current case you are viewing has already been reported in or is related to another case. Note. The rules for defining case matches are defined on the Match Detail page, and can be viewed using the Match Usage link on the Options page for Call Center Business Unit defaults. |

Access the Match Usage page (click the Match Usage link from the Business Unit - Options page).
Use this page to view the case match options defined for the business unit and any applicable provider groups.
These options are defined on the Match Detail and Match Usage pages. The system uses these options to find cases that are similar to one another, thus enabling the user to identify potentially duplicate cases.
Note. If there is no Match Definition associated with this business unit (as defined in the Match Definition itself), then the two grids on this page will display "No match definition is found for Business Unit" and "No match definition is found for Provider Group."
See Understanding Call Center Prompt Tables.
Access the Display Templates page (Set Up CRM, Business Unit Related, Call Center Definition, Display Templates).
Use this page to enable the business unit for the display template family. For example if the US200 business unit needs to be enabled for support cases, then you are required to establish the link between US200 and the RC_SUPPORT family on this page.
When you select the display template ID, the system displays only the display template IDs that are associated with the display template family you selected.
If an agent changes the business unit while on the Case page, the system looks at this page to display the correct display template family and ID.
Access the Case Defaults page (Set Up CRM, Business Unit Related, Call Center Definition, Case Defaults).
The fields on this page are not available for entry until you create the business unit by clicking the Create BU button on the Call Center BU page.
Case Defaults
Select the display template family that you want to use for this business unit. The system shows all the existing display template families that are defined in the system. |
|
Select the component that you want to associate with the display template family that is displayed in the previous field. The system displays the components that are defined for the selected display template family. You can set up different defaults for different components on the same template, and you can set up different default values for different templates that use the same business unit. When you select a component, the system may display a different set of fields, as not all default fields apply to each call center component. |
Select the status that you want the system to use when an agent opens a new case. Note. Although most defaults are optional, the New Case Status default is required for the component that is used to report new self-service cases. Without a default value, the system cannot save the case. Also, because Case Status is a required field for a case, an agent reporting a case through a self-service application cannot set the case status. |
|
Select the value that you want the system to use when an agent identifies a successful solution and resolves the case. Both agents and self-service application users can resolve cases. Agents resolve cases by setting a solution status to Successful Resolution.Self-service application users resolve cases by answering Yes when asked whether a particular solution resolved their problem. The default can be different for a self-service user than it is for an agent. |
|
If you selected the Allow Case to be Reopened check box on the Business Unit - Options page, select the status that you want the system to use when the self-service application user reopens a case. If you do not enter a status here, then, when an agent or self-service user reopens a case, the status will not change. The result could be cases closing without a successful resolution—a condition that the system does not normally allow. |
|
Duplicate Case Status |
If you relate one case to another, and the associated relationship type definition has the Set status of child case using duplicate case status from the Business Unit Defaults check box selected, then the child case status will be automatically set to the value specified in this field. Note. If this field has no value, then the child case status will not be updated when it is related to another case, even if the associated relationship type definition has the Set status of child case using duplicate case status from the Business Unit Defaults option checked. |
