Case Contacts are the people connected to the case. When new Case Contacts are added to a case, we take a “snap-shot” in time of who that person is at the time they are added to the case. If they are an employee, this “snap-shot” can include what position this employee had at the time of the case creation. This way, many years later, we can come back to the case and see exactly who this employee was at the time of the case.

There are three Case Contact Types:

1. Requestor

2. Impacted Employee

3. Portal Access

Requestor

The Requestor is the person who created the case. This could be: who sent the original email that created the case; who originated the DocuSign that was sent to HRSC; who created the case via the HRSC Support Portal; or who HRSC manually identified as the Requestor Case Contact. You can only have one Requestor per Case.

Impacted Employee

Impacted Employee(s) are people who the Case is about. Impacted Employees come over automatically from Spreadsheet Uploads, but they can also be manually added to the case. There is no limit to how many Impacted Employees you can add to a Case.

Open

Portal Access

Portal Access Case Contacts can view the case in their own HRSC Support Portal. Portal Access Case Contacts can be manually added internally in Salesforce or from people who have access to the case in their HRSC Support Portal.
