You can search and retrieve case records by performing a basic or advanced search.

- by case number

- created by specific agents or customers
- assigned to specific agents or groups
- Advanced Search: Allows you to search for cases by any field defined in a case record. You can create nested queries by using the AND logical operator.
Additionally, you can search for multiple values for a field. For example, to access all cases that are pending and in the open status, you can search for multiple values such as the open and pending statuses.
