Transition a Case

When a new case is created, it's automatically put in the Draft workflow state. The following will show you how to transition a case to the next workflow state. This can be used to move a case from Draft to Open, or Open to Closed. Any case you create will appear on the My Tasks page until is has been closed. 

To transition a case to the next workflow state:

1. Log into a user account from the Case Manager user group.
