The CustomerCenter 'Order Details' page is where a Customer can input all of the information needed to accurately fulfill a Request once it is submitted. There are a few different sections that need to be filled out. Once all of the sections are filled out the Customer can then click the 'Save Order Details' Image Removedbutton to submit the details for a given Cart item. The 'Cancel' Image Removed button will abort any changes and return the Customer to the Submit Request page.

If there are multiple Cart items Order Details will need to be filled out for each item individually since different Services, Equipment, or Packages might have different details. However, Users do have the option to use the same Order Details for all of the items on the Request. To use the same Order Details for every item first fill out the Order Details on one of the existing items in the Request. At the bottom of the Order Details page is a drop down labeled 'Apply Order Details to all Services and/or Stand-alone Equipment:'. There are two options in this drop down. The default option of 'No' will only apply the Order Details to the specified item from the Submit Request page. The 'Overwrite All Order Details' option will apply the current Order Details the Customer just filled in, to every other item currently in the Cart. This will overwrite any other existing Order Details data.

Set Owner

The 'Set Owner' section has two sections, the Contact and Department sections, which will populate the Owner picker on the Request. The Customer can only select one or the other and the Department option is not available unless the Customer is a Coordinator

Contact

Image Removed

The Contact section is selected by default. The First Name, Last Name, Email Address, and Phone Number are all fields set automatically based on the Customer that is submitting the Request. This can be overridden using the Owner Action drop down to either create a new Contact, or update the existing Contact's data. First Name and Last Name are always required fields. The Configuration Options CC_EMAIL_REQUIRED and CC_PHONE_REQUIRED control whether their respective fields are required or not. The entire section can be optionally made read-only using Permissions to prevent Customers from updating the Contacts table.

Owner Action

Update

Update is selected by default. The Customer does not have to update any of the four fields, (First Name, Last Name, Email Address, or Phone Number) however, if they do the data will be updated on the existing Contact record.

Create New

If this option is selected PCR-360 will attempt to create a new Contact record to assign as the Owner using the data entered by the Customer.

Department

Image Removed

If the Department section is selected the Coordinator can only select existing Department Hierarchies using the picker.

Order Contacts

Image Removed

The 'Order Contacts' will display the Service Contact for the Request. In many Organizations the Service Contact is the same data as the Contact Owner, and this section is provided for when there might be a different Contact associated with the Service. There are three options in this section, the Service, Primary On-Site, and Alternate On-Site sections. Both the Primary On-Site and Alternate On-Site sections can be optionally hidden with the CC_REQUEST_SHOW_PRIMARY_SECONDARY_CONTACTS Configuration Option. The Service Contact follows the Service through the Order process and will be added to the Service once the Order's status is "Complete". Both the Primary On-Site and Alternate On-Site Contacts will only be on the Order and do not follow the Service through completion.

Billing Details

The 'Billing Details' picker will assign a GLA to the Request. The GLA is always a required field if the Service Catalog for the Service that is selected is "Billable". The 'Location' picker will set the Location of the Request. The Location will be required if the Service Catalog has the "Location Required" flag set. The 'Reference' field is a free form that that will be used to populate the Reference on the Service and is never required.

The 'Cabling Equipment' picker can be optionally turned on or off using the Configuration Option CC_SHOW_CABLING_PICKER and it's label text is controlled with CC_DESTINATION_EQUIPMENT_FORM_LABEL. The Cabling Equipment picker can be used in organizations where the Customers know their Ports/Pins/Lens based on a Port or Jack in the wall to connect devices to.

Optional Information

Any information added to the 'Most Recent Remark' field will be sent to the Remarks tab of the Request for review by the team working the Request. Most Recent Remark is a free form field that can contain any information the Customer feels needs to be included.

Attachments

Any file less then 10Mb in file size can be attached to the Request for review on the Request.

Types of Pending Requests

Types of Pending RequestsImage Added

  • Ready to Submit - These Requests are completed, and are ready to be submitted

To add New Services and Equipment and Packages, see their respective articles for information for adding them to the Cart. 

Each Request is Editable from the Cart. The User can update the Urgency, Owner, the Charge Account, the Description, manage Attachments, and any other User-Defined Fields on the Request. The User can also update Changes to the Service and related Equipment/Packages.

Each Request can also be Titled uniquely to help group the details for each Request.

At the bottom right corner of the Request, a summary of the Charges will be displayed.

Summary of Charges ExampleImage Added

Title

A Request can be uniquely named and updated to help a User differentiate multiple Requests being worked on (such as setting up Orders for multiple different Users). To edit the title, click the EditImage Added icon.

Urgency

Urgency allows the User to indicate how important a Request is. Examples of Urgency are Low, Medium, and High. Depending on Organizational needs, the system may be configured to behave differently depending on the Urgency.

Owner Information

The Owner Information fields are comprised of two separate fields.  The Who Owns This one and the actual Owner one. Together they enable the application to determine who the Own of the Service should be.

Who Owns This

This dropdown consists of three options. Contact, Department and I Can't Find.

  • Contact - Selecting this option means the Owner is an individual person.
  • Department - Selecting this option means the Owner is a Department.
  • I Can't Find - Selecting this option means the Owner is not setup in the application yet, such as a new hire, or a pending new Department.

Owner

The Owner picker is filtered depending on the Who Owns This field.  When set to Contact, the picker will only display Contact records, while when set to Department, the picker will only display Department records.

When Who Owns This is set to I Can't Find the picker becomes a free text field for the User to enter the Owner manually.

If the logged-in User is not a Coordinator the Owner field will be auto populated to that Users details.

If the logged-in User is a Coordinator the Owner field will be restricted to Departments that they coordinate if the Who Owns This dropdown is set to Department. If set to Contact, it is restricted to Contacts within the Departments that they coordinate.

Charge Account

The Charge Account is always aRequired field if the Service Catalog for the selected Service is "Billable".  The GLA picker restrictions are determined by a number of factors. If the logged-in User is not a coordinator, the GLA permissions will be the User's GLA permissions. If the User is a coordinator the Owner field will be restricted and the intersection between the Owner and User's GLA Permissions will be used. If there are no User GLA Permissions, the inherited GLA permissions of the Departments that they Coordinate will be used.

For more information on how the Department Hierarchy or a Contact's association affects GLA permissions, please see the Department Hierarchy and People page.

Description

The Description field is used to describe the need for the Service or any other details related to the Request, but will not necessarily appear on the final product of the Request itself.

Attachments

Any file less than 10Mb in file size can be attached to the Request for review.

Items on the Request

Each individual Service, Standalone Equipment or Package is hidden by default on the Request.  A User can view them by clicking the ExpandImage Added button.  They can be hidden once more by clicking the CollapseImage Added button.
