Emergency Cases

LUCS allows the redirection of incoming customer calls to an alternate destination (different phone numbers, different services, conversation recording machines) in case of emergency.

Usage of Emergency Cases

To configure the emergency case feature, a special emergency case preset (described on this page) and a workflow instance have to be configured, then assigned within the service workflow configuration.

The ‘Emergency Case’ page is accessible on Settings -> Service section -> Emergency case

Emergency Case contains the following settings:

Name	Descriptions
Name	Unique name for the emergency case.
Organization Unit	Select Organization Unit to which the Emergency Case will be assigned and accessible to.

Enable Emergency Routing	Option is used by ‘Check Emergency Case Status’ activity in Workflow Instance. Set to ‘true’ to make the ‘Check Emergency Case Status’ workflow activity take the ‘Activated’ exit.
