This is the ninth of nine tasks for setting up your XFP forms to work with CXM.
CXM Forms are the logical grouping of fields available to XFP at the time of creating and editing a case.
Form Types
Case Types have two default forms that are already created for you.
This is the fourth of nine tasks for setting up your XFP forms to work with CXM.
This article outlines how to set up a template to initiate a CXM Case submission and send XFP form data to the case.
Emails can send from CXM to alert users of dates or to send reminders.
Rules provide a flexible way of automating actions based on triggers within a case. Rules are most commonly used for:
A status allows you to give end-users a quick indication of where the case stands at any particular moment and what step the case may be waiting for. A case can be in only one status at a given point in time.
Transitions are the routes a case can take from one status to another.
Use emails from CXM to alert users of dates or to send reminders.
Note: Emails in CXM are not as customizable as those in XFP.
Rules in CXM are optional functionality most commonly used for sending reminders and auto-transitioning or auto-closing a case.
A status allows you to give end-users a quick indication of where the case stands at any particular moment and what step the case may be waiting for. Statuses are informational and categorical.
Transitions are the routes that a case can take to go from one
To carry XFP data forward into subsequent forms, you need to identify what XFP data needs to be stored in CXM. The data from your XFP fields goes into a corresponding CXM field.
You can take your business process diagram and add in XFP and CXM steps. This helps you to figure out how your CXM workflow will work.
