eService Tab
The eService Module Control tab sets defaults, such as:
- Communication Status

These defaults are used when generating/updating the eService record in CRM. It also determines if Location, Problem and Solution fields are optional or mandatory when entering a Support Call.
You can define the default user and Team to use when creating a Support Call from eService.
eService has two types of views: ordinary end users for example a Customer and Resellers. Ordinary Users and Resellers are identified based on their Login detail.
