Field or Control

Definition

Reason Code

Displays all the reasons of the type Reason Closed that you have set up for this setID. These are the reasons that a self-service application user can select from when closing a case.

Solution ID

Select the solution that represents the reason a user may close a case. When a self-service application user closes a case and selects a reason, the associated solution is added to the case as a resolution with this status: Successful Resolution.

If a reason does not have an associated solution, then the first time that a self-service application user closes a case with that reason, the system creates a Canned solution and associates it with that reason. The next time that reason is used, the solution that was previously created is used.
