2 different "Add Case" form for different working groups

For the business needs our customer wants to use 2 different views for the "Add Case" page. So if groups "Managers" insert a new case they have to insert some certain fields. But if groups "Accounts" insert the same type of case thay must insert other fields.

    Hello and thank you for your idea. With BAW 23.0.1 and the ability to use client-side human services (CSHS) for you case related UI page, you can create a very dynamic Add Case CSHS that can contain more than one page and use logic in the CSHS flow to determine which one to use.

    To get the current role, add some script like the following:


    tw.local.caseTypeObject = {};  // CaseObject data type
    tw.local.caseTypeObject.caseClientURI = "";
    tw.local.caseTypeObject.graphQLEndpointUrl = "";
    if(tw.local.caseClientTabID != "") {
    tw.local.caseTypeObject.currentRole = parent.ecm.model.desktop.currentRole.auth_name;
    tw.local.caseTypeObject.caseClientURI = parent.parent.location.href;
    }
    else {
    var cookies = this.document.cookie.split(";");
    for(var i=0; i<cookies.length; i++){
    var cookieKeyValue = cookies[i].split("=");
    if(cookieKeyValue.length == 2 && cookieKeyValue[0] === "roleName" ) {
    tw.local.caseTypeObject.currentRole = cookieKeyValue[1];
    break;
    }
    }
    }
