    The e-mail contains all of the necessary information and technical data to enable the processor to locate the Central System Administration session and task and work on the problem.

  3. The expert logs on to the described CSA session, and selects Start of the navigation path Choose Administration and Monitoring Area Next navigation step Tasks for Processing by me End of the navigation path.

  4. The expert jumps from the list directly to the dedicated task to begin working on the problem.

  5. The expert solves the problem, and then documents the solution by describing it on the Task Notepad tab.

  6. The expert assigns the task to you as processor again.

  7. You receive an e-mail notification that the task was completed.
