Case Settings

Record ID

This is the database record case ID.

Case title

This is the text associated with the case title.

Category name

The Category name drop-down menu allows you to classify the case as one of the following: Incident, Question, Enhancement Request, Defect, or Change Request.

Contact Settings

First name

This is the text associated with the first name of the contact.

Last name

This is the text associated with the last name of the contact.

This is the text associated with the title of the contact.

This is the text associated with the position of the contact.

Company ID

This is the ID of the company record.

Emails

When you click the add option, you may select the type of email from the drop-down menu (Primary, Business, or Private), then enter the email address. It is possible to add more than one type of email address; the order the emails are listed in is insignificant. Note: Gaps are not allowed (i.e. you must create the email with the index [0] if you want to populate the email with the index [1]).

Phones

When you click the add option, you may select the type of phone from the drop-down menu (Business, Home, Mobile, or Fax), then enter the phone number. It is possible to add more than one type of phone number; the order the numbers are listed in is insignificant. Note: Gaps are not allowed (i.e. you must create phone numbers with the index [0] if you want to populate the email with the index [1]).

Note the following for existing phone numbers:

  • Existing phones in the contact are searched by phone number.
  • If an existing phone is found, its type is updated.
  • If an existing phone is not found, it is added to the list of phones in the contact list.
  • There is no way to delete a phone number (or change a phone number) via the Bright Pattern Update Object block and must be done via Agent Desktop; deleting phone numbers is deemed too complex for this iteration of scenario block design.
