Customer Questions

Concepts & Definitions

Customer Questions captures enquiries submitted by customers through the self-service web portal. Each question is logged with the customer’s email address, channel, and the question text. Staff review these questions and can respond directly, publish the question as a Reviewed FAQ (making the answer available to all portal users), or escalate the question into a formal customer case for tracked resolution.
