Associating personas with case types

To clearly visualize the participants of your Microjourney, associate personas with case types in your application. By adding personas to a Microjourney, you communicate which users are involved in each phase of your business process, and which channels they can access. For example, for a hiring process, you can associate a candidate persona and an HR worker persona. This association indicates that each persona can access different portals in the case, different information about the process, and perform different actions. While the candidate only provides personal details and uploads necessary documents, the HR worker processes the details, runs background checks, routes the case for approval to a manager, and resolves the case.
Before you begin: 

When you associate a persona with a case type, you create a draft relationship between the persona and the case type. To start processing your case, you need to implement the relationship by granting the persona access to channels.

  1. In the navigation pane of App Studio, click Case types, and then click the case type that you want to open.
  2. In the Persona section of a stage in which you want to add a persona, click Add persona, and then select a persona that you want to use:
    Choices Actions

    1. In the personas list, select Create new.
    2. In the New persona window, in the Persona name field, provide a descriptive name for your persona.
    3. Select an avatar to represent the persona.
    4. Optional: To provide more information about the persona, in the Description field, enter additional text.
    5. Click Submit.
    Select an existing persona In the personas list, select a persona that you want to add.
  3. Click Save.
Result: Your case life cycle displays the personas that you can use when you plan your application development. By default, App Studio creates a draft relationship between the persona and a web channel that is at the top of the web channels list in your application.
What to do next: To define channels that you want to provide for the personas, create draft channel associations. See Associating personas with channels.
