Source interaction | Reference (Interaction table) |
| This holds the interaction record that an HR case was created from, assuming it was initially created from an interaction. |

Restricted visibility group | Multiple reference (Group table) |
| By entering groups into this field, the HR case will be restricted to only members of those groups in this field being able to see the task (in addition to administrators) |
Other fields hidden from form and un-used
The below are fields that come off one of the tables HR case \ extend from, which it does not use or have on the form. Some will have some behaviours tied to them (due to existing on the Work table), but some will have nothing tied to it. As a result, you can use them, but they will likely have no functionality tied to them. Note that there are other fields, but they are not recommended to be used due to the potential impact.
Field Label | Field type | Field behaviour | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
Parent | Reference (Work table) |
