Defining conditions for skipping a stage
Version:
Ensure that cases move to the next stage in the sequence when the current stage is not relevant, by defining the conditions that cause a case to skip a stage. When a customer service representative (CSR) can skip irrelevant stages, a case reaches its resolution faster.
At run time, your application evaluates the condition before the case enters the stage. If the value is true, the case skips the processes in the stage and moves to the next stage in the sequence.
