  • Enable your external customers to create and track requests from the Customer and Consumer Service Portals.

    Before you begin

    Role required: admin

    About this task

    Each submitted request generates a case, with the request record associated to that case. Customer service agents can also create requests on behalf of contacts and consumers.
    Note:
    This feature requires activation of the Customer Service with Request Management plugin (com.sn_cs_sm_request).

    Procedure

    Configure the Case form to display the Initiated as request field.
    When a request is created from the portal, the system creates a case for the request and sets this field to true.
    Note:
    The Initiated as request field is read-only for all users.
