Updating a user profile


As a case agent, when viewing a case, to view a user's person profile click the user's name. To view the profile on a separate tab, right-click the user's name and select Open link in a new tab. The person profile provides details about the user like employment details, contact details, related cases and users, and so on.

As a case agent, when viewing the profile for another user, you can:

  • Add special notes or observations about the user—These notes are visible only to the submitter and users who have the Person Activity Read functional role. A case business analyst must explicitly provide this functional role to users who need to access the notes section of the profile. 
  • Add related users with a relationship type — Add related users with an appropriate relationship type that defines how the users are connected. When you add a related user, the current user is added to the related user's profile as a related user with the reverse relationship. In addition to the out-of-the-box relationship types, a case business analyst can add custom relationship types. For more information about custom relationship types, see Adding a relationship type to relate users or cases.
  • Add employee documents to the profile — Add employee-related documents, such as personal documents, bank documents, salary statements. Learn about adding files to the employee profile in To add an employee file to the user profile.
