The Emergency Contacts module stores the contact information for emergency contacts (telephone information and address). Self-service users can add and delete people from the list of emergency contacts as required. When the user has created or edited a contact, the workflow submits the transaction for approval. If the transaction is awaiting approval, the user cannot edit the contact until it has been approved or rejected by the approver.

Personalizing the Emergency Contacts Page

The standard layout for the Emergency Contacts page includes three telephone numbers. You can, however, personalize the page to display your custom phone types if required.

You can also personalize the page to create a read-only view if required.

Creating Contacts Using SSHR Only

If you choose to create an emergency contact or dependent using only SSHR (Personal Information function), instead of the forms-based interface, the following situation applies:

• The application creates two records in the per_contact_relationships table:

  • one record with the value EMRG in the contact_type column

  • one record with the value of the actual relationship (for example, spouse, brother) in the contact_type column

  Note: Information on whether or not the contact is the Primary Contact is held only for the Emergency Contact record (record with the EMRG value in the contact_type column). This record may have also the primary_flag set to Y or N.

• For the actual relationship record only, the personal_flag column contains the value Y (for Yes).
