What are the SR profile options?

Service request profile options let you configure and control application data. Administrators and setup users can manage SR profile options in the Setup and Maintenance work area.

You can set various profile options and schedule job processes for service requests. Some profile options must be used along with job processes to achieve the results you want. For example, after setting the profile value for closing a resolved SR after N number of days, schedule a job process that closes SRs.

The following table describes the various profile options for service request management. For more information on scheduled processes, see What are scheduled processes?

Profile Option	Description
SVC_ASSIGN_TO_QUEUE_ON_CREATE	Assigns an SR to a queue automatically, when the SR is created. Note: The preferred way of assigning an SR to a queue is by using Omnichannel assignment. If Omnichannel is enabled, this profile option is ignored.
SVC_SR_IN_RESOLVED_DAYS	Defines the number of days after which any resolved SR is automatically closed. This profile option must be used along with the Auto-Close Service Requests job process. Make sure the following two conditions are met: The SVC_SR_IN_RESOLVED_DAYS profile value must be set to 1 or greater for the Auto-Close Service Request job to run. The SVC_SR_IN_RESOLVED_DAYS profile value must be set to 0 to disable the Auto-Close Service Request job.
SVC_SR_IN_WAITING_DAYS	Defines number of days for which a service request must be in Waiting status before the SR is auto resolved. This profile option must be used along with the Auto-Close Service Requests job process. Make sure the following two conditions are met: The SVC_SR_IN_WAITING_DAYS profile value must be set to 1 or greater for the Auto-Close Service Request job to run. The SVC_SR_IN_WAITING_DAYS profile value must be set to 0 to disable the Auto-Close Service Request job.
SVC_AUTO_CLOSED_STATUS_CD	Defines the status code to use for auto-closing service requests that have been in Resolved status for at least the number of days specified by SVC_SR_IN_RESOLVED_DAYS. This profile option must be used along with the Auto-Close Service Request s job process.
SVC_AUTO_RESOLVED_STATUS_CD	Defines the status code to use for auto-resolving service requests that have been in Waiting status for at least the number of days specified by SVC_SR_IN_WAITING_DAYS. This profile option must be used along with the Auto-Close Service Requests job process.
SVC_PUID_FORMAT	Defines the format for the unique reference number on each SR. Every SR number consists of a prefix and radix. Let's say that you select SR_ as the prefix and No alphanumeric conversion as the radix. Without this formatting profile option, the SR numbers are generated as SR_1, SR_2, and so on. Now suppose you use this formatting profile option and the value is 000000. Then the SR numbers are generated as SR_000001, SR_000002, and so on. For more information about configuring the prefix and radix, see How do I configure the prefix and radix? Note: The SVC_PUID_PREFIX profile option used earlier no longer exists.
SVC_SR_DEFAULT_SEVERITY_CD	Sets the default Severity value for a new SR. You can also set this value as blank, if you want the SRs to be created without a Severity value.
SVC_SR_DEFAULT_STATUS_CD	Sets the default Status code for a new SR.
SVC_SR_IN_DELETED_DAYS	Defines the number of days after which a deleted SR is purged. Although a soft deleted SR is in the database, it can't be retrieved or updated from the UI or REST APIs. Once purged, SRs are completely removed from the database. This profile option must be used along with the Purge Deleted Service Requests job process to purge SRs. When a soft-deleted SR created from an inbound email is purged, all data associated with that SR is also purged from the inbound message tables.
SVC_INBOUND_ENABLE_FAILED_MESSAGE_PURGE	Enables or disables purging of inbound messages that fail or aren't processed successfully. When the value is set to Yes, the purge job deletes the records corresponding to such messages from the inbound message tables.
ORA_SVC_ENABLE_DOWNLOAD_ATTACHMENT	This profile option has two settings. Yes (default) and No. If the profile option is set to Yes, attachments are allowed to be downloaded. To prevent users from being able to download attachments from a Service Request and a Service Request Message, do the following: Set the ORA_SVC_ENABLE_DOWNLOAD_ATTACHMENT profile option value to No. Copy the Service Request Troubleshooter role. Copy the Customer Service Representative role. Edit the custom Service Request Troubleshooter role and delete the Download Attachment of an SR or SR Message privilege. Edit the custom Customer Service Representative role and delete the three Service Request Troubleshooter roles and add the custom Service Request Troubleshooter role. Add the custom Customer Service Representative roles to the users who should not be allowed to download attachments.
SVC_EVENT_HISTORY_DAYS_TO_KEEP	Specifies the number of days for which the SR event history details such as update and create must be retained. The data beyond this value is purged.
SVC_INBOUND_MSG_RETENTION_DAYS	Specifies the number of retention days for successfully processed inbound messages. After the specified number of retention days, the successfully processed inbound messages are deleted from the inbound message tables.
SVC_ENABLE_MESSAGE_CORRECTION	Enables you to edit the text of the Internal Note and Customer Entry SR messages that you've previously created and posted.
SVC_ ENABLE_ SEVERITY_ COLOR_IN_SR	Enables the color code for the service request severity set up in the Manage Service Request Severities task, if set to Yes. The task Manage Service Request Severities enables you to add different severity levels for service requests and define different colors.
ORA_ENABLE_QUEUE_MEMBER_NOTIFICATIONS	Enables selecting all queue members as notification recipients, on the Notification Preferences page. Performance might be impacted if you have many queue members and use this option. Default value is No.
ORA_SVC_DELETE_CLOSED_SR_ENABLED	Enables automatic deletion of an SR that has been closed for at least the number of days specified by the ORA_SVC_CLOSED_SR_RETENTION_DAYS profile option. This profile option must be used along with the Delete Closed Service Requests job process.
ORA_SVC_CLOSED_SR_RETENTION_DAYS	Defines the number of days for which a service request must remain closed before it's deleted. Deletion can't be undone. This action is applicable only when the Delete Closed Service Requests Enabled profile option is set to Yes. This profile option must be used along with the Delete Closed Service Requests job process.
