When the user clicks this button, the system changes the case status to the value that is specified in the Closed Case Status field on the Case Defaults page. See Case Defaults Page. If a user selects a predefined reason from the Reason field, the system resolves the case by using the solution that is identified on the Reason and Solution Link page. If no solution is linked to the selected reason code, the system creates one (using the solution type Canned) and updates the Reason and Solution Link page accordingly. If a user entered a reason in the Details field, the system uses the text to create a new solution of type Adhoc. The solution then resolves the case using the newly created solution. |
Use the Reason for Reopening the Case page (RC_CASE_SW_SS_ROPN or RC_CASE_HD_SS_ROPN) to select or enter the reason for reopening a closed case.
Reopening a case causes all successful resolutions to be marked as failed solutions.
