case

A case is an instance of a case type and is a primary unit of work in an application. You can manually create, or instantiate, a case in an end user portal or through forms in an application. Your application can automatically create a case when a parent case is created, or email is sent to an account that is associated with the starting process of a parent case.

In legacy systems, cases are commonly referred to as work items or work objects.
