Dynamic Case Management application
A Dynamic Case Management (DCM) application is one that evolves with you as your processes mature, and which allows for ad hoc procedures (Multi Step Tasks) to be created when existing processes don't quite fit.
Features of a DCM App
All DCM apps share an extensive set of features with Database Applications, including these:
- Mobile-enabled, with automatically generated, customizable Forms
- Predefined Tasks Object - assign Tasks to users and record completions in the record history.
- Processes and Rules can be created to automate your procedures.
- Document Templates can be created to generate formatted documents that integrate record data.
- Email Templates can be created, to automatically insert record data when sending correspondence
- Messages sent from a record are automatically recorded in the record history
- A variety of integration strategies you can use to interact with other applications, whether running on the platform or elsewhere.
In addition, a DCM app predefines a Cases Object that provides even more features:
- Pre-defined Priority and Status fields that appear at the top of each Case record
- Pre-defined Email Templates that can be customized or used as-is for formatted correspondence that integrates record data.
- Service Level Objectives you can use to set operational targets for different kinds of cases
- Social Channels
- Email Channel - Create cases automatically from incoming messages. Record responses in the case history, as well as the outgoing message.
- Facebook Channel - Interact with customers and create cases from a Facebook page.
- Twitter and Twitter Search - Interact with customers and create cases using Twitter feeds.
Note: The ServiceDesk application is a specialized DCM app for handling trouble tickets that provides additional features for customer support. (However, an organization can have only one ServiceDesk application, while it can have as many Dynamic Case Management applications and Database Applications as it likes.)

Building a DCM App
Using the AgileApps Cloud platform platform, a fairly sophisticated Dynamic Case Management application can be built in a matter of days, and then evolved over time.
