Navigation Basics

Text in blue are links to that content. It is easy to navigate between the Case, Case Contact (CC-#), Allegations (AL-#), Actions (ACT-#), and Note (Note-#) pages by selecting the associated record ID # that is displayed on the page. A link back to the Case can be found in the upper left hand corner of child pages.

Below is the page you will be presented with when first logging into the Salesforce environment:

Global Search

The global search is helpful for finding historical case information, among other things. Type in the name, phone number, employee ID, Student ID, etc and press enter. The search results will display any related information found in the system. The global search box makes it easy to find just about anything in the system. When typing in the search box, the system will begin looking for recent records and display them as suggestions. It is recommended to type in the full entry then click Enter/Return to view the full search results.

The global search bar appears on all pages.

note

You can also use the global search to look up older Sharepoint HRI cases with the case number from the old system.

Home Tab

The home tab has two main sections: Homepage My Cases - OIEC, which displayed a list of your open cases sored by oldest open contact date, and the OIEC Dashboard, which shows a collection of common reports.

Homepage My Cases - OIEC

  1. New - Create a new case (you can also create a new case by searching the Contact in the Global Search, selecting the appropriate employment record, then clicking the button Create Case).

  2. List Search - Available to search for items in the case list by case numbers and alphanumeric text. Alternatively, the list can be sorted by clicking the header of the appropriate column. Columns can be resized by clicking and dragging the column dividing lines.
    (warning) Contact Date, Second Investigator, and Investigator aren’t searchable. Use filters or sort on these fields instead.

  3. Case Number - Click on this number to view a particular case.

  4. Quick Options - Edit & Delete a case.

The Homepage My Cases - OIEC list is standard for all users. If you would like to create specific lists that you can create these on the Cases tab. See the List Views Guide for more information.

OIEC Dashboard


Cases Tab

The Case tab will show all list views you have created or have been shared with you. You can change and pin list views based on your preference without affecting other users.

  2. Pin current view - Click the Pin icon to “pin” the current view. The pinned view will be set as default when viewing your Cases tab

  5. Filter - Set filters on the current view

For help creating or working with List views, see the List Views Guide, or contact HRIT.

The Reports tab will show all reports available to, created by, or shared with you. From this tab you are able to run reports, create your own reports, and create folders for reports.


Dashboards Tab

In Salesforce, Dashboards are collections of reports. The Dashboards tab will show all Dashboards available to you.


Adding a New Case

Overview

There are two pathways for creating a case, the Case Flow (starting with a new case) and Participant Flow (starting with a participant). Both pathways will yield the same result.


Case Flow

You can search by almost any available information, including name, phone, email, employee or student ID, and job title. When looking for exact matches, entering a space after typing in your search criteria can speed up the live search.

note

The information here may be edited if necessary since it will be copied to the specific Case Contact. This will not affect the system contact information stored in the HRI.

Note that student information--if it exists--will show for all contacts, even when added as an employee.

Adding Allegations to a Case

Allegations are added to a case through a Case Contact to ensure that Allegations are related to a person. While the Allegations object can be viewed from the Case page, new Allegations require Case Contacts to exist prior to being created.

Adding Actions to a Case

Like Allegations, Actions are added to a case through a Case Contact to ensure that Actions are related to a person. While the Actions object can be viewed from the Case page, new Actions require Case Contacts to exist prior to being created.

Adding Notes to a Case

New Case Notes can be added from the Case page or from the Case Contacts page.

If copying/pasting in text into a Case Note (e.g. from an email) note that the source formatting will copy as well and may cause viewing issues, such as overlapping text. If you have this issue, a temporary fix is to delete the current note text that is causing the issue, and right-clicking in the notes box and “paste as plaintext” to repaste the note without formatting.


Participant Flow

The Participant flow case creation differs only in how a case is created and how the first Case Contact is added. Adding additional Case Contacts, Allegations, Actions, or Notes will follows the same step outlined in the Case flow.

Creating a New Case

The Participant flow creates a new case directly from an employment record.

Refer the the Global Search section of Navigation Basics to determine what criteria can be used for the global search.
