Creating an Inbox Template (Studio)
About Inbox Templates
You can automatically create new cases in the inbox whenever a verbatim alert is triggered. Inbox templates are a great way to ensure consistency across cases and tailor the information to best suit your needs.
Qtip: Inbox templates are only available if the XM Discover inbox is enabled in your account. Please contact your Discover account team to learn more.
Qtip: When you save an intelligent scoring rubric, it automatically creates an inbox template linked to that rubric. By default, this inbox template is named after the rubric, and includes the scorecard results (whether it passes or fails for each item).
