Case Management


A centralized support portal that improves engagement between ASU faculty, staff and students

Larger institutions tend to have more complex processes, making it difficult for students to communicate with the university in a timely, efficient manner. 

Salesforce’s Case Management tool allows ASU staff and faculty to answer students’ questions faster and more productively, activating an effective way to support student success.

How it works

Salesforce Case Management is a cloud-based system that allows faculty and staff to better manage communication to and from current and prospective students and ASU’s other constituents. 

Get to know these features so you can maximize Salesforce Case Management to the best of your ability. 

Manager reviews a case report to identify how many inquiries were created around specific categories in the last month to better understand students’ needs and how to staff them.

Department templates are a quick way to respond to frequently asked questions, populate an email signature or create an entire email message.

Select a quick text message from a selection box, and Salesforce will insert the text into an email for you.

Create a Macro to populate an email template, send it and close a case… all in one click!
