Enhance Ask UCPath Initiative
This enhancement includes the New Employees and Submitters Case Submission Form project and Enable Reopen Case Functionality project.
SOBO Case Submission Form Project
- SOBO Case Submission Form Project Goals
This project will:
- Simplify the transactor experience when submitting an inquiry/case on behalf of an employee through Ask UCPath.
- Reduce duplicate cases by displaying recent open cases before starting the case submission.
- Eliminate the topic and category data entry requirements for employees and transactors.
- Implement a solution that automatically determines the topic and category
- Why are we implementing this project?
- To simplify the transactor SOBO experience and to align with the newly launched employee case submission experience when submitting an inquiry/case through Ask UCPath.
Employees Case Submission Form Project
- Employees Case Submission Form Project Goals
This project will:
- Simplify the employee user experience when submitting an inquiry/case through Ask UCPath.
- Reduce duplicate cases by displaying recent open cases before starting the case submission.
- Eliminate the topic and category data entry requirements for employees and transactors.
- Implement a solution that automatically determines the topic, category, and subcategory.
- Route cases to the correct queue.
- Provide users with an accurate service level agreement.
- Why are we implementing this project?
- To simplify the employee user experience when submitting an inquiry/case through Ask UCPath. This simplification will reduce duplicate cases by displaying recent open cases before starting the case submission. Removing the requirement to enter the topic and category data entry requirements for employees and transactors we will simply the submission process and support employees with knowledge articles to reduce issues that could be solved without a case. The case assistant will automatically determines the topic, category, and subcategory for the submitter which will improve the routing of cases to the correct queue.
Enable Reopen Case Functionality
- Enable Reopen Case Functionality Project Goals
This project will:
- Improve the existing custom pending case closure/follow-up case functionality and process with a solution that provides employees and location submitters the ability to reopen cases.
- Establish a consistent process for reopening closed cases applicable to all case types.
- Ensure that historical information within the original case structure is displayed.
- Enable employees to reopen a closed case within a 12-month timeframe from the
original date of closure (restriction of up to 3 reopens for each individual case).
- Why are we implementing this project?
- We are implementing this change to improve the existing custom pending case closure/follow-up case functionality and process with a solution that provides employees and location submitters the ability to reopen and close their own cases. This will allow cases to be reopened for up to 12-months with a limit to reopen three times. Case history will be kept together limiting confusion and duplication of cases.

No ability to close user's own cases.
Disjointed tracking of closed and request for review cases leading to multiple cases.
- Users will be able to reopen closed cases.
