Enable external customers to create requests

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.
