Info
titleScenario

This is a made up scenario, that has just enough twists and turns to use just about all features of cases - but it's a simple scenario.

There are some gaps in this scenario:

  • Why wouldn't they charge for an increase in entitlements? (they are nice people, of course).

This Scenario does not use all of the cool features of the Case Console or Macros (coming in Spring '15) in Service Cloud.
