Welcome_1 Main Menu | RegE | RegE Setup | Events

 

The Events tab contains the different types of events a case may have during its life cycle. The Events become templates which are used in the management of the individual cases.

 

The concept behind defining these events is that they can be configured so that multiple users perform the same functionality consistently. The list of events configured here will be presented during the management of the individual cases.

 

Besides having a number of individual options, events can be combined with pre-configured transactions and/or form letters.

 

If an event has one or more transactions associated with it, then pre-defined transactions combined with the custom case information such as the clients branch and account number will be generated.

 

If an event has a form letter connected with it, then a Microsoft Word Merge Letter will be generated that is automatically populated with information from the case.

 

The event grid at the top of the screen displays the various events set up by the user.

 

Events are configured specific to Case Type, which is selected at the top of the screen

Next Action + - An event can be configured to automatically drive the Next Due Date forward by a given number of days. This can be used if the event requires a follow-up in a certain number of days.

 

Description - The item enter here will be the default description of the event when used in the case management. It can always be replaced when the actual event is used.

 

Popup Message - The message entered here will be displayed to the user when the event is used and saved in a given case. This can serve as a reminder of some external action that may need to be done when this even is used.

 

Case StatusAssociates a case status with the event, which updates the status of the case when the event is added to the case.

 

Multi-Dispute - This check will designate the event to be used in automatically generating multiple transaction events based upon the threshold amount configuration.

 

Sum Disputes - This checkbox will cause the multi-dispute event to sum all dispute amounts and generate only a single transaction set.

 

Threshold - This option designate the event as a multi-dispute event and defines the operation of the event. The available choices are:
Less than or equal to        - Defines that the dispute amount has to be less or equal to the Threshold amount to be selected by the event
Greater than                - Defines that the dispute amount has to be greater than the Threshold amount to be selected by the event

 

Threshold Amount - This is the amount to be used in the configured multi-dispute event.

 

Transactions - The grid shows all configured transactions. Checking the check box next to a selected transaction will connect the transaction to the event. Any time the event is used, the associated transaction will be generated from the case information.

 

Form Letters - The grid shows all configured form letters. Checking the check box next to a selected transaction will connect the form letter to the event. When the event is saved, the form letter is launched in Microsoft WORD and merged with data from the case.

 

Events can only be configured as a Transaction or Form Letter event, not both.
