Defining an escalation action for an incomplete assignment
Reduce the risk of unfinished work in a case by defining an escalation action, such as a notification to the manager. The manager receives the notification when an assignment exceeds its goal or deadline.
For example, in a case of reviewing a complaint for purchased goods, an application can notify a manager that a case worker misses a goal for confirming customer details required to pay the reimbursement.For relevant training materials, see the Completing work on time module on Pega Academy.
