Description
Reduction of HF cases
Created a single case with the Domain Services Team and attached an Excel Sheet with the list of users for whom accounts are created for that day.
1.Single case is created for the users accounts created for a day and submitted to DS Team, this saved about 5 Hours of the agent’s time on daily basis also DS Team to close only a single case per day.
