Article summary

Overview

Case Data sections let you add details about a Workflow Case for which you have viewing permissions to a report. When adding Case Data sections to a report, you must first select the Case whose data you want to add to the report. Then you can select which Case Data sections to add to the report and customize them as desired.

Before You Start

User Roles

  • To add Case Data sections to a report, your user account must have an Organization role of Standard User, Sharing User, or Organization Administrator.

Prerequisites

  • To be able to add data from Cases to a report, turn on Workflow for your Organization on the Account Settings screen (must be an Accounts Administrator, Operations Administrator, or System Administrator to perform this action).

Adding a Case Data Section

Follow these steps to add a Case Data section to a report:

  1. Create a new report or open a saved report.
  2. If the Add Section drawer does not open automatically in the Report Editor, click + Add Section in the Report Editor toolbar. Alternatively, hover over an existing section in the report and click + Add Above or + Add Below.
  3. Select Case Data under the Intelligence Data section on the Add Section drawer.
  4. Select a Case from the Case dropdown on the Add Case Data menu.
  5. Select a Case Data section from the Add Case Data menu, and then configure the section.

Selecting a Case

After you select Case Data under the Intelligence Data section on the Add Section drawer, the Add Case Data menu will open. If you created a report while viewing a Case, the Add Case Data menu will show that Case in the Case dropdown, as well as the Case Data sections you can add to the report (Figure 1).

If you created a report from a Group’s Details screen, a Group’s Details drawer, or the Reporting screen, select View All Cases… from the Case dropdown. Then select the Case whose data you want to add to the report on the Select a Case window, which shows all Cases in your Organization for which you have viewing permissions (Figure 2).

Note
If a report already contains data from a Case (i.e., there is a Case Data section added to the report), that Case’s name will be displayed in the Case dropdown when you click on it.

 

Case Data Sections

You can add any of the following Case Data sections to a report:

A Case Data section can display data from a single Case; however, you can return to the Add Section drawer to add multiple Case Data sections containing data from multiple Cases to a single report.

Note
To return to the Add Case Data menu after you add a Case Data section to a report, select Keep panel open after adding at the lower-left corner of the Add Section drawer. Otherwise, the Add Section drawer will close after the section is added to the report.
