Case Management Configuration
Learn how to create case types, activity report types, configure automated email notifications, and more.
Every case type must be linked to a category. When creating a case, the available types will be grouped by category to allow you to easily locate the case type you're trying to submit.
Other > Modules > Case Management > Categories

To create a new case, click the hamburger menu and select "New Case Category." Enter the name of the category and describe its purpose. The next section of this article will explain how case types can be linked to these categories.
The above example would display like this during case creation. Clicking the button would then show the available case types within this category.
Case Types represent the various types of incidents or issues that may need to be reported. For example, you may have an incident type for maintenance requests, another for policy violations, and another for safety issues. To create a new case type, go to the hamburger menu > New Case Type.
Other > Modules > Case Management > Types
This tab contains general settings for the case type, including its name, description, subtypes, and who is allowed to submit this type of case.
- Inactive
- If a case type is no longer being used, it can be deactivated. If your case type has cases, it should always be deactivated instead of deleted.
- Allow all students/Staff/Instructors to Open/Report
- Choose which user types are allowed to create cases of this type.
- Category
- Select the category (as configured above) that this type should be a part of.
- Name
- This is the name of the case type, which will also be the name of the button when creating cases.
- Button Title
- todo
- Description / Instructions
- This text appears beside the button above when beginning to create a case of this type as well as on the case creation screen.
- Issue Name
- Choose your preferred language for the type of form this is. For example, 'Case,' 'Incident,' or 'Report.'
- Auto-Choose if it's the only type in the category
- If this case type is the only case type in its category, it will be automatically chosen when clicking the category during case creation.
- Ask for a Subtype for the Case Type
Activity Reports allow you to append additional information and actions to cases, as well as specify the parties involved with a particular case. For example, you may have a report for data gathering at the start of a case, potentially multiple for different stages of the case as progress is made, and another for the resolution of the case. This isn't a requirement by any means, you can structure these activity reports to best fit your needs. Click Add Report Type to begin.
These are the available activity report settings.
- Report Type Name
- This will be the name of the activity report. Students, Staff, and/or Faculty will select this in order to begin the process of adding the activity.
- Report Description
- This is an internal notes field for this activity report, only visible here.
- Ask for Severity
- Choose how users can report the severity of this activity. None hides this field, Severity Only provides a drop-down menu of options including Low, Moderate, High and Critical, and Urgency, Impact, and Severity (pictured below) includes all three of those listed fields, with Urgency and Impact automatically setting Severity. Severity can still be overridden manually if preferred.

- Ask for Report Status
- This adds a drop-down menu of statuses to the activity report. If enabled, you can list the statuses on separate rows beside the checkbox. This can later be used in Notification Preferences to automatically notify individuals if a status is chosen or has remained for an extended period of time.
- Ask for Persons Involved and Witnesses
- Ask for Parties Notified
- This field (also pictured above) allows you to link an individual to be notified with an email regarding this case. The email can be sent immediately or scheduled to send later.
This tab allows you to configure the email and SMS notifications that may be sent when this case is created or when status conditions are met.
Notifications when [case] is Created/Opened will send as soon as the case is opened. You can have as many messages as you need, and each message can be sent to one or multiple staff members.
Notifications when [case] or Activity Report Status changes can potentially send based on the case or activity report status. For example, you may send an email after 0 days (i.e., immediately) when the status is changed to "Closed." Alternatively, like in the example below, you may want to notify someone if an activity report status has been set to "Pending" for a few days. Like the notifications above, you can have multiple messages with multiple recipients, each with their own timing and status condition.
When a case is created (details further into this article), it will be stored in the Case Reports Listing.
