# Review and accept a proactive case as a major case

Review and accept proactive cases as major cases using the major issue management process.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_majorissue\_mgt.major\_issue\_manager or sn\_customerservice\_manager

## Procedure

1.  Open your workspace.

2.  Navigate to **Major Issue Management** > **Candidates**.

3.  Click **Major Case Information** > **Affected Customers** to view the automatically generated list of customers affected by the issue.

4.  Click **Create Child Cases** to create a child case for each affected customer.

5.  Accept or reject the proactive case as a major case.

6.  Follow the major issue management process to resolve the proactive case.

    **Note:** If the Proactive Customer Service Operations with Event Management plugin is activated, your system administrator may have configured workflows to automate the creation of major cases depending on the number of accounts affected by an issue. If your system administrator has configured workflows, major cases are created in either **Accepted**, **Proposed**, or **Created** state depending on the settings. If **Accepted**, child cases are automatically created.
