For the authorization request process, milestones represent required, time-dependent steps such as Admin Review or Nurse Review. Add these milestones to an entitlement process, which is a timeline that includes the logic necessary to enforce different service levels for different stages of the case.
Make sure you've configured case statuses before you start this task.

- From Setup, go to Milestones, and click New Milestone.
-
Create milestone records with these names:
