Adding people records


You can create two types of people records:

  • Case user people records—Records about system users who have access to BMC HR Case Management data: HR agents, HR administrators, HR masters, and self-service users having access to solutions in BMC MyIT. These records are saved on BMC Remedy Action Request System Server, in the system forms: User form, and COL:CORE:People form.
  • People records (non-case users)—Records about people (can be records about customers, VIP persons, and so on) who do not have access to the BMC HR Case Management system. These records are not saved on the BMC Remedy AR System forms.

This topic describes how to create people records and includes the following section:

When an HR agent opens a case based on a phone request, he must verify that the person who is calling is the right person.
