Defining a custom case status

Updated on May 11, 2022

Define a custom case status to more precisely communicate the progress that a case makes toward resolution.

In the header of Dev Studio, click ConfigureCase ManagementProcessesStatus Values.
Review the list of case statuses, and ensure that a case status that meets your business needs does not already exist.
Create a field value that defines your custom status by doing the following:
1. In the header of Dev Studio, click CreateData Model Field Value.
2. In the Label field, enter the text for the custom status value.
  As a best practice, use one of the following prefixes to support standard reports and maintain continuity in between your custom status and standard status values: New-, Open-, Pending-, or Resolved-. Use only alphanumeric symbols in case statuses.
3. In the Field Name field, enter pyStatusWork.
  At run time, your application maps a value of the pyStatusWork property with a case status.
4. In the Context section, select an application layer, applies to class, and ruleset based on how you plan to reuse the status value in your application.
  Tip: If your application supports localization, select a language-specific ruleset for the field value.
5. Click Create and open.
6. Optional: To provide a translated value for the custom status value, enter text in the To field of the Field Value form.
7. Click Save.
