You can add a top-level case type to your application to model the primary work that is accomplished in your application. Top-level case types can contain child case types.
In the navigation panel, click Cases to view the list of current case types in your application.
Click + Add a case type.
In the Create new field, enter a name for the case type.
Optional: Expand the Advanced Settings section to configure the rule resolution for the case type.
Derives From (Directed) — Enter a class name that is an explicit, or directed, parent for your case type class.
You can enter any class name that exists in your application. The name you specify is used during rule resolution.
As a best practice, keep the default value of Work-Cover- so that your case type can exercise all supported features.
Derives From (Pattern) — Select a class name to prefix the fully qualified name for your case type class.
The default value is set to the current work pool of your application. You can select any existing case type class in your application. The name you specify is used during rule resolution.
Ruleset — Select a ruleset name from your application stack to store the new case type.
Version — Select an unlocked version of the ruleset name specified in the Ruleset field.
Remote case — Select this check box to indicate your case type will be accessed as part of a federation.
Click Finish.
The case type is added to your application but it does not have a life cycle or data model defined. You can define these now or at a later time.
Tip: Use the + Create menu to create an instance of your case type.
