Moving a case to a different stage

Updated on March 29, 2022

Customize the order in which a case proceeds by using the Change to a stage shape to move a case to a different stage in the case life cycle, or the Change to the next stage shape to move a case to the next stage. By revisiting or skipping a stage, you can support out-of-sequence processing in a case. For example, when a customer changes jobs during a loan request case, the case returns to a stage in which the case worker reviews the loan risk.

Before you begin: To move a case to a specific stage, the stage must exist in your system. For more information, see Stages in a case life cycle.
  1. In the navigation pane of App Studio, click Case types, and then click the case type that you want to open.
  2. Add the Change to a stage shape or the Change to next stage shape to the life cycle of your case:
