Enable your external customers to create and track requests from the Customer and
Consumer Service Portals.

## Antes de Iniciar

Role required: admin

## Por Que e Quando Desempenhar Esta Tarefa

Each submitted request generates a case, with the request record associated to that case. Customer service agents can also create requests on behalf of contacts and consumers.  
Nota:  
This feature requires activation of the Customer Service with Request Management plugin (com.sn_cs_sm_request).

## Procedimento

Configure the Case form to display the Initiated as request field.  
When a request is created from the portal, the system creates a case for the request and sets this field to true.  
Nota:  
The Initiated as request field is read-only for all users.
