Replacing a Contact

This button replaces all instances of a Contact with another Contact. To use Replace, select a Contact and click the ReplaceImage Removed image-20240614-181133.pngImage Added  button. The Contact is replaced by any Service Order/Action, Service, Equipment, Workflow, Vendor, Coordinator, GLA, Location, or Purchase Order where that Contact appears.

To use, select a Contact to replace and click the Replace Image Removedimage-20240614-181129.pngImage Added  button. The Select Replacement Contact dialog opens.Select Replacement Contact Dialogue exampleImage Removed

...

Click on the checkbox in the grid to select the Contact that should replace the old Contact. Click the ReplaceImage Removed image-20240614-181140.pngImage Added button on the form. The Event is sent and a Notification alerts the User when all the replacements have been made.

The Contact is replaced on any Service Order, Service, or Equipment where that Contact appears. Because the Replace function can change LARGE volumes of data is highly recommended that this button is permissioned where only authorized Users can access it. For more information on securing the Replace button, see the Permissions and Best Practices sections.Confirm Bulk Update Dialogue exampleImage Removed

...

The Delete Contact checkbox serves a dual purpose. The default behavior leaves the checkbox unchecked. This makes the Replace function leave the Replaced Contact Active and simply replace it anywhere it has been previously associated if it can. If the User selects the Delete Contact checkbox, the Replace functionality tries to delete the existing Contact. If the Contact cannot be deleted because of any lingering associations, the Replaced Contact record is set to Inactive instead.

The following are special circumstances related to using Replace:

  • Service Desk and Service Desk Action: We can only update the Owner if the Status of the Order/Action is not Finalized, Void or Billed.

    • If the Billing Group of the new Contact does not match the billing group of the old Contact, the Contact is NOT replaced.

    • The Service Rep field is NOT replaced.

    • The Requestor field is NOT replaced.

  • Service Desk tabs: Equipment, Contact, Labor, and Workflow: All of these require a Service Desk Order/Action which does NOT have a status of Complete, Finalized, Billed, or Void.

  • Services: The Billing Group of the new Contact must match the Billing Group of the old Contact.

    • If the Billing Group of the new Contact does not match the Billing Group of the old Contact, the Billing Group Override is set to the new Billing Group.

    • If the Contact in the Contacts tab is also the Owner of the Service, the Contact on the Contacts tab is NOT changed otherwise it is changed.

  • Equipment: If the Billing Group of the new Contact does not match the Billing Group of the old Contact, the Contact is NOT replaced.

  • Purchase Order: The “Approved By” Contact is only replaced if the Purchase Order has a Pending Status. The "Attn" is always replaced.

  • Vendor: If the Contact is on the Contact tab, it is always replaced.

  • Departmental Hierarchy: If the Contact is on the Coordinators tab, it is always replaced.

  • Workgroup: The Worker on the Workers & Rates tab is replaced. The Manager is NOT replaced.

  • Contact Type: If the Contact type that is replacing another Contact does not have the Type 'Coordinator' and the one being replaced does, the 'Coordinator' type is added to the replacing Contact.
