User Access Anchor
Agents can access QFD through a link in their customer service tool (CST). An agent will be assigned to a workgroup, based on their profile settings. An agent can access the user profile and view the workgroup assignment(s).
In the top right corner of the QFD screen, the agent will see a colored circle with the agent's initials. Clicking on that circle will allow the agent to access their profile. In the bottom right-hand corner of their profile, they can see what team(s) they are a part of in the QFD system. The assigned workgroup(s) will help to ensure that an agent only receives work items aligned to their skills. If you experience an issue with access, please reach out to your manager.

The Case Roll-Up includes the following stages, which we go into more detail below.
Collect Stage Anchor
The Collect stage houses the information that we captured during claim intake.
...
- Dispute Reason – Claim Reason and Type selected at intake.
- Dispute Transactions – The transaction(s) that were originally disputed in the claim.
- Claim and Dispute Details – The original questionnaire was filled out through claim intake. The questionnaire can be updated through the Questionnaire Case Tab.
- Summary – This is the summary screen in intake that shows the correspondence channel and where the first letter was sent to. It also has a list of the disputed transactions.
- Confirmation – This is the last screen displayed through claim intake. It shows the “What happens next” steps provided to the cardholder at the completion of intake.
Enhance Stage Anchor
The Enhance stage is the first point where actions are taken in the back office once the intake process is completed.
...
- Initialization – The first step in the back office. Each transaction that was disputed has an individual dispute created under the claim. This process is automated by QFD.
- Authorizations – This step houses the disputed pending transactions, waiting for them to post to the account for further investigation. If after the allotted pend time, the transaction has not posted to the account, the pending transaction will be closed out automatically. This step is automated but may need manual review for any failures.
Assignment: Authorization Review
Role: Technician - Enrichment –The enrichment step is where we reach out to the association to get the dispute transaction details. This step is automated through Visa and MasterCard but may require manual review for other networks.
