Workflow and Users in this Demo
The primary workflow used by this demo looks like this:
Reported > In Process > Closed
There are two organizations involved in the process:
- Employees - report help desk issues and requests
- Help Desk - responsible for responding to end user requests and issues
Within each organization, the following users are defined (you can log in as any of these users):
| Employees | emp_one, emp_two - Employees |
|---|---|
| Help Desk | help_mgr - Help Desk Manager help_one, help_two - Help Desk Engineers |
The password for each user is the same as the User ID. Feel free to log in as each user and perform normal operations.
Things to Note while trying out this Demo
- After logging in, you are presented with a "home" page that summarizes the cases either submitted by the user, or assigned to the user. Each user can select the reports to be displayed on their Home Page by clicking on the "Preferences" link in the upper right corner of the Home Page.
- Use the Add button to create a new case.
- Use the Task button to advance the state of a case. This allows each person assigned to a case to enter the correct information after completing their assigned task without any specific knowledge of the workflow as a whole.
- The workflow is set up so that when one individual marks a task complete, it is automatically assigned to a state manager based on the selection made in the Product field of a record.
- NetResults Tracker allows limiting access to function by user group. For example, the Manager users are allowed to edit the fields of a case, but regular and external users are not.
- Each user can define their own saved queries and report layouts. They can also use the saved queries defined for any user group of which they are a member.
