Symptom
The "Channel Name" field is not visible for some Cases in the Case List.
Environment
SAP Service Cloud Version 2
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Cases Work Center
- Observe full list of Cases
- For some Cases the Channel Name field is populated and for other Cases it is not populated
Cause
The field "Channel Name" is populated only when a case contains an inbound email and the source of the Case is Email. Cases without an inbound email (including migrated cases) do not populate this field by design.
Resolution
- Acknowledge the standard behavior: the "Channel Name" field is populated only for cases created from an inbound email.
- For cases without an inbound email (including migrated cases), the field remains empty as designed.
- If a product enhancement is required to populate the field for other sources, submit an improvement request via the Customer Influence portal: Customer Influence portal.
