Problem Types help you categorise customer queries. For example, you may have complaints about the delivery being late, and other complaints about the items being damaged on delivery, so these two Problems could be allocated a Problem Type of 'Delivery'. This can be useful to set up and use for reporting purposes, as by categorising Problems into Types, you can identify which areas need more attention.

To edit your Problem Types, go to the navigation menu, click on the Settings, then select System Settings.
Step 2: Navigate to Service in Settings
Once within the System Settings, navigate to the Service page on the left-hand side, and scroll down until you reach the Problem Types configure option.
Step 3: Configure Problem Types

To add a new one, simply click the plus icon in the top right-hand corner.
Add information about your new Problem Type, ensuring the description should be relevant for all CRM users.
