6.2.3 Taking Resolution Action
This section explains how to take resolution action on the selected case or cases. Supervisor approval provides a dual control or approval process that requires an authorized user (for example, a Supervisor) to approve actions of other users, prior to those actions taking full effect on the case (for example, closing the case). This process also enables users of specified roles to acknowledge approved or rejected changes proposed and to annotate an acknowledgment with comments.
Recommending a Case for resolution - if you are an Analyst user and perform the resolution action on a non-closed case, the case moves to the Recommend Closure status, where you need to assign to a supervisor for approval. The supervisor can approve or reject the recommendation. If approved, the case is closed and if rejected, the case is pushed back to the old status without closing. If you are a Supervisor user and perform the resolution action on a non-closed case, the case is directly closed without requiring additional approval.
Note:
- When a Resolution action is performed and the case is moved to the Closed status, the existing due date of the case is cleared by the system.
- When a Resolution action is performed and the case is moved to the Closed status, the associated suppression requests workflow will be initiated and will be available in the Suppression Administration page.
