The hrActivityUtils script include enables you to create HR cases from a record producer.

This script include requires the HR Lifecycle Events plugin (com.sn_hr_lifecycle_events) and runs in the `sn_hr_le` namespace.

## hr_ActivityUtils - createCaseFromProducer(GlideRecord current, Object producer, String
cat_item.sys_id) {#ariaid-title2}

Creates a case from a record producer and service. This method is intended to be called
as-is to create a producer and does not require supplying data.
The following variables can be configured in a record producer to provide additional capabilities as follows:

* `job` -- References sn_hr_core_job and maps to subject_person_job in an HR case
* `opened_for` -- References sys_user and maps opened_for in an HR case
* `concurrent_job` -- If the record producer includes this variable (by activating checkbox) and parameters have job information, creates a new job in sn_hr_core_job table
