Manual Service Form

Manual Service Form

The Manual Service Form is located on the Cinch Portal (interchange) and is used when the ServiceBench system is down or the account is showing in TIMX SCM but not in ServiceBench.

If the account is not showing in ServiceBench but is verified in TIMX SCM, the agent must reach out to an immediate supervisor or manager to have the account updated to in ServiceBench.
