About Case Triage

After you promote an Inbox Item or AER to a Case, the Case is ready to be triaged.

During Case triage, you must review the Case and enter the seriousness criteria. The seriousness criteria determines whether the Case requires expedited reporting and the due date for reporting the Case to regulatory authorities.

Note This page describes the Triage task in the default Case Processing workflow. If your organization has a custom workflow, follow the recommendations in your business standard operating procedure for triaging Cases.
