Overview
The Complaint Case Notes feature allows complaints managers to document every step of a complaint directly in Factorial. Each note is encrypted to protect sensitive information, ensuring that only designated complaints managers can view or manage the content.
When and why to use it:
Use case notes whenever you need to document progress, decisions, or actions related to a specific complaint. Keeping all information in one secure location helps maintain compliance with data protection laws, improves internal collaboration, and enhances transparency in complaint handling.
