    By activating Workplace Case Management, customers gain a structured environment with predefined roles and data structures to efficiently manage workplace-related cases and services. The roles enable precise access control tailored to different user responsibilities, while the tables provide a robust backend for storing and processing case and service information.

    Archival rules can be applied to maintain data hygiene by archiving old cases and related records. The presence of demo data allows for safe experimentation and training before live deployment.
