# Cases

A case is a support request or inquiry created when you need more information or help with an issue. Cases allow you to communicate with SoftwareOne and track the progress of your request.

Each case includes important details, such as the case ID, reporter, assignee, status, and the conversation between you and the assignee or individual handling your case. As the issue is reviewed, the case status is updated so you can monitor its progress.

In the SoftwareOne Marketplace, each case includes a conversation thread, also called case chat, that lets you communicate with the assignee handling your case. 

### Cases page

You can view and track your cases through the **Cases** page. From this page, you can also add a case using the **Add** option.

To open the page, choose **Helpdesk** > **Cases** from the main menu.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/l7XsQWXXKIEAYrQRsqC1" alt=""><figcaption><p>Use the Cases page to add, view, and manage cases.</p></figcaption></figure></div>

On the **Cases** page, you can use the **Actions** column to mark a case as completed. You can also select a case ID to view its full case details and perform case‑management actions.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.platform.softwareone.com/modules-and-features/helpdesk/cases.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
