Case-type settings

Case-type settings control the behavior of a case. By using different types of settings, such as data propagation, validation, or locking strategies, you can add functionality to your case type that supplements the life cycle of a case.

For example, you can define attachment categories for a case type and then reference those categories in the validation criteria that your application evaluates before a case can enter a specific stage.

You configure case-type settings when you open a case type in your application.

Categories of case-type settings

You can configure one or more categories of case-type settings. The structure of your case-type hierarchy determines whether a category is available for you to configure.
