Case task type selector
The case task type selector is a component that provides customer service agents with a way to create the right types of tasks while working on cases.
Using the case task type selector, agents can select services and create case tasks specifically for those services. The selections that an agent can make within the case task type selector depends on where they create a case task from.

Configuring service definitions for cases and case tasks
The system administrator creates the service definitions for cases and case tasks, along with their relationships. The service definition manager and service definition admin can also create these service definitions and relationships.
For case task service definitions, the system administrator can include logic and default field values that the system uses when creating the case tasks. For more information, see Configuring service definitions.
