Case Creation and Case Management for Partners

Create a case in the UKG Community to get support for your issue. Before creating a case, be sure to complete the recommended training and search our product documentation, knowledge articles, and community discussions for answers.

1. From the Welcome to UKG Services and Support page, select Create Case.
   Note Alternatively, you can select your username, and then select Contact Support.
2. At Create a Case, your partner account name is applied to the Select Account field. Customers associated with your partner account are listed at the Select Account drop-down list. You can select another account, if needed.
3. Select your Contact Name from the drop-down list. Administrators can select an alternate contact for the case, if needed.
4. Select the appropriate Job Category from the drop-down list.
   Note The available values in the Job Category drop-down list are based on the products available for the account you selected.
5. Select the appropriate Product Solution from the drop-down list.
   Note The available values in the Product Solution drop-down list are based on the solutions associated with the job category you selected. For example, if you selected the Payroll job category, the payroll solutions associated with your account appear in the list.
6. Select the appropriate Primary Area from the drop-down list.
   Note The available values in the Primary Area drop-down list are based on the areas associated with the job category and solution you selected. For example, if you selected the Payroll job category and the UKG Pro solution, the areas associated with UKG Pro payroll appear in the list.
7. At Issue Summary, provide a brief summary. Be sure to include relevant details or vital information about the issue.
   For example, "Access issue" doesn't provide information about the type of access issue. "Can't log into Community" provides more information that can help us direct the case to the correct person more quickly.
8. At Issue Description, enter a full description of your issue. If you are creating the case for another person, be sure to enter their name (but no other PII) in the description.
9. Review the Recommended Solutions, which display adjacent to the case details, for a possible resolution.
10. Select Upload Files to provide accompanying documentation that will be helpful in resolving your case.
11. Select Submit. A new case is created and will be routed to an internal support representative. You will be contacted via email with case updates.

The partner case management process in the UKG Community involves reviewing case progress, collaborating with the case owner, and closing cases. Throughout the case resolution process you'll receive emails to update you about the case status.

1. From the Welcome page, use one of the following methods to navigate to the appropriate case:
   • To search for a specific case, in the UKG Community search bar, enter the appropriate Keyword or Case Number, and then press Enter.
     Note For UKG Pro Payment Services cases, the Case Number that appears in the search results may not match the Case Number you received by email after opening the case. If the numbers don't match, verify that the subject of the case is correct. If the subject is correct, then you found the correct case.
     
   • To view all available cases, from the Navigation bar, select Services and Support, and then select Manage Cases from the Support box.
     Tip You can use the fields in the Search Cases section to filter the table by owner, Solution ID, Contact Name, and Date Range. To sort the cases that appear in the table in ascending or descending order, select a column header.
     
2. Select an open case to manage.
   The Case Detail page displays. A progress bar appears above the case details with the current status highlighted. Case statuses include:

   • New
   • In Progress
   • Awaiting Customer Information
   • Awaiting UKG Response
   • PAR Reported
   • Awaiting Solution Deployment
   • Hold
   • Resolved Pending Confirmation
   • Closed
3. (Optional) Select the Show More icon beside the progress bar to view more information about the current status.
   
4. (Optional) Use the Feed, Related, and Case Details tabs to communicate with the case owner.
   • Select the Feed tab to post updates and read comments from the case owner.
     
   • Select the Related tab to access or share files, emails, and articles.
   • Select the Case Details tab to view or edit the case details.
     
5. When your case is in the Resolved Pending Confirmation status, review the most recent feed post from the case owner, and then select the Case Resolution button below the progress bar to accept or reject the resolution:
   

   Important If you do not accept or reject the resolution, the case will automatically close on the date specified in the Auto Close Date field on the Details tab.
   1. To accept the resolution, in the Case Resolution Disposition dialog box, select Accept from the drop-down list, and then select Save.
      After you accept the resolution, your case updates to the Closed status and you cannot add additional comments or edit the case in the UKG Community. If needed, you can call support to reopen the case within 14 days of accepting the resolution.
   2. To reject the resolution, in the Case Resolution Disposition dialog box, select Reject from the drop-down list, and then select Save.
      After you reject the resolution, the case status reverts to the Awaiting UKG Response status and a support representative will further review your case.
6. To let UKG know that a case needs immediate attention, complete one of the following actions:
   • In the case summary, indicate that the issue is urgent.​ In the issue description, include details to help us understand the priority.
     Note Urgent or business critical cases can include, but are not limited to, mass impacts and no available work arounds (indirectly impacting nearing payroll deadlines, financial impacts, and cease in business flow operations).
   • Use the support center telephone number to speak to a specialist, who can increase the urgency for you.
