How to Grab a Case

Follow these steps to grab a case in NetSuite:

Navigate to Lists > Support > Cases > Customer Service > Cases.
Click Grab next to the desired case.
Note: Right-clicking the Grab option to open the case in another tab or window is not supported.
The case becomes automatically assigned to you.

Best Practices for Case Management

Auto-Assignment: Administrators can set up case rules and territories that automatically route cases to support reps based on specific criteria. This minimizes the need for manual grabbing and enhances response times.
Enable Email Notifications: Administrators can permit support reps to receive email notifications when customers respond to cases by unchecking the Prevent Support Reps from Receiving Customer Replies by Email option, located under Setup > Support > Preferences > Support Preferences. This keeps reps informed about additional customer inquiries.

Viewing Case Details

Once you have grabbed a case, you can view its details by clicking the name of the case. You can also click Edit to add messages from customers or to input responses from support reps.

Who This Affects

Support Representatives: Directly responsible for managing and responding to customer cases.
Administrators: Responsible for setting preferences and case management protocols to streamline the process.
