    Universal Request for Health and Safety Case Management Workflow

    A universal request gets created when an employee selects the Request help option in the Employee Center. On the Request help form, when the employee selects the Issue contains sensitive or confidential information check box, a drop-down menu to Select the department for your issue appears. When the employee selects Health and Safety and then selects Submit, the system automatically creates a Universal Request with Health and Safety case as a primary ticket.

    All the important details, such as, users who are working on the issue, inter-department transfers, and work notes, are recorded in the universal request ticket. This provides complete visibility to the employee who has raised the request.
