Support Process
A support process is a workflow configured to define the distinct statuses a support case go through right from when a case enters the system until it is resolved and closed.
This is important because different departments may have different workflows that need to be configured separately.This way the reps only see values they need
Example:
Technical Support - New, Working, Escalated, Resolved
