Configuring Journal
When an HR agent works on a case, task, or solution, the agent can use the Journal section or tab to add information such as a note, email, or document. To improve efficiency for the agent, you can create journal templates that contain the relevant information.
To create a journal template
- Open System Settings console.
- Select Application Settings > Journal Templates.
- Click New.
- From the Form Name field, select the form that contains the fields you want to use in the template.
- In the Template Name field, enter a name, which will appear in the template list on the Case, Task, or Solution page.
- Click in the Content field and enter the text for the template.
To add a field from the form you selected, select a field from the Form Fields list and click Insert Field to Content. Repeat this step to add additional fields. - Click Save & Close.
When an HR agent or employee adds an attachment in the Journal section of a case, task, or solution, an icon appears next to the attachment. The icon that is displayed varies depending on what type of file is attached. For example, if a Microsoft Word document is attached, the following icon is displayed with the file:
![]()
You can add icons for new extensions, or you can modify the current icons.
To configure icons for attached documents
- Open System Settings console.
- Select Advanced Settings > Journal Icons.
- Click New.
- In the File Extension field, enter an extension.
- From the Resource Definition list, select a definition.
- Click Save & Close.
