# Using Financial Services Loan Operations

Learn how requesters, contributors, and agents use the Financial Services Loan Operations application to initiate, research, and resolve the loan service requests and system-generated exceptions.

## Workspace

Requesters, contributors, and back-office agents use personalized workspace to work on all aspects of loan cases. Workspace can help you with the following tasks:

-   Monitor workload and performance
-   Focus on high-priority items
-   Easily navigate across tasks

For more information, see [Workspaces](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/financial-services-operations/fso-workspace.md).

</table>## Workflows

Several predefined workflows for business and personal loans are available with the application.

When a customer requests a loan service, a loan service case is created and assigned to a loan agent. After the agent updates the case details, a workflow is triggered. The flow triggers various tasks from the case and the assignment rules route these tasks to the appropriate back-office teams such as loan, credit, or document service. A new task is automatically created when an agent closes the previous task.

For more information, see [Financial Services Loan Operations workflows](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/financial-services-operations/financial-services-loan-operations/loan-operations-workflows.md).

## Case playbook

Using the case playbook, loan contributor and loan agents can visualize and interact with the case workflow. The playbook provides end-to-end life cycle for the tasks performed during the case handling process, from the time a case is logged to the final resolution and communication to the customer. The playbook is available for the following loan workflows:

-   Loan Forgiveness for Financial Services Business Loan Operations
-   Loan Deferment for Financial Services Personal Loan Operations

## Dashboards

Performance Analytics give business owners an insight into how the team and business are performing. Dashboards with customizable views are available for business and personal loan operations with the application.
