Using Case Hierarchy is the best way to relate Cases for the same client to each other in Salesforce. This allows the organization to see the connection between various Cases and manage them effectively. Here’s how to set it up:

Enable Case Hierarchy:

Ensure that the Case Hierarchy feature is enabled in your Salesforce org. This is typically enabled by default.

Create Parent and Child Cases:

When creating or editing a Case, you can specify a parent Case using the "Parent Case" lookup field.

For each new Case related to the same client, select the main Case as the parent.

View Case Hierarchy:

On the Case record page, click on "View Hierarchy" to see all related Cases in a hierarchical view.

This allows you to easily track and manage all Cases related to a specific client.

By using Case Hierarchy, you can maintain a clear structure of all Cases related to a client and ensure they are appropriately connected and managed.
