Using HR Service Delivery Playbook

Currently, HR Service Delivery Playbook is only available for use with lifecycle event HR cases.

Playbook shows as a tab on the HR Agent Workspace form after displaying an LE case.

Note: The Playbook tab only appears after the HR case has moved to Ready or Work in Progress. This triggers the lifecycle event and data appears for all launched activities.

Selecting the Playbook tab allows you to view and work all lifecycle event activities and their child tasks in a single pane.

Note: Tasks that are created ad-hoc and not part of the workflow do not appear in the tab, but may be accessible in regular related lists.

  • Lifecycle event

    The title of the lifecycle event is at the top below the Playbook tab in the stage panel.

  • Activity sets

    The list of lanes along with their status icon appear below the lifecycle event description.
