# Complaints User Manual

A detailed document describing how to use the Complaints product in Sandbox

## Overview

Complaints is an application designed to file, assign, and resolve issues with enhanced transparency for all stakeholders. While traditionally adopted by governments worldwide for public grievance redressal, complaints can be used for various cases and at multiple scales. You can view the full complaint documentation [here](https://urban.digit.org/products/modules/public-grievances-and-redressal).&#x20;

## Key Features

Complaints offer the following functionalities:

* Filing a complaint (both through employee and citizen interface)
* Viewing and filtering the list of filed complaints
* Assigning a complaint to a user ('employee')
* Resolving a complaint
* Rating a complaint
* Viewing a dashboard with a graphical summary of complaints and statistics

Before proceeding with the complaints application make sure to create employees and map it to specified roles. [Refer to this page](/sandbox/specifications/user-manual/employee-management-user-manual.md) to create and manage employees.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.digit.org/sandbox/specifications/user-manual/complaints-user-manual.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
