Temenos Lifecycle Management Suite - Recovery Product Guide
Lifecycle Management Suite Workspace

This section explains how to navigate within the workspace in the Lifecycle Management Suite.

Workspace

The workspace displays a 360 degree overview of a person in the Lifecycle Management Suite and provides the ability to work all accounts and for that person on one screen. Workspace screens can be configured by administrators to display institution-specific information within various person, account, or  panels in the overview section

While only one workspace is typically displayed for a single person in the Lifecycle Management Suite, there are instances where one person may have multiple distinct workspaces, with different accounts, due to the information received from the core or third party import. Reference the section below for an overview of the scenarios that could occur to create more than one workspace for a person in the Lifecycle Management Suite:

ShowMultiple Person Workspace Scenarios

Scenario 1: Financial institution is on a person-centric core. During the core import, information is sent to the Lifecycle Management Suite that identifies two distinct person records. For example, if the core sends a Person Number, and the person has two different Person Numbers on record in the Lifecycle Management Suite, the information is not linked to a current workspace as the system cannot determine the Person Number to which the information should be linked.

Scenario 2: Sufficient information is not sent for a person during a Third Party Import or Create Profile Import. For example, if the third party, or profile import, sends an unformatted SSN, the system may not be able to determine if the number is associated with an SSN or EIN; therefore, the information is not linked to a current workspace as there is not enough information to safely link the data in the import with a record in the Lifecycle Management Suite.

Show1 - Workspace Toolbar

The workspace toolbar is located on the top of all workspaces.

When a screen is enlarged, the icons on the workspace toolbar wrap to the next line and are left-justified in order to maintain accessibility.

Below is a list of the Toolbar icons and their descriptions:

Toolbar Icon Description

Click the Full Screen icon to maximize the amount of space available to work a person. When selected, the icon appears active  and the Person Summary Box, Left Navigation Panel, Post Comment Box, and Top Area Screen are collapsed to provide a large viewing area for screens. Clicking the Full Screen icon again reverts these modifications.
The top area screen is automatically collapsed when this icon is selected. Click on one of the tabs that display on that screen to have it re-open.

Additional panels and/or fields may display on the Person Verification screen if configured by system administrators in System Management > Screens. It is here that system administrators also determine if these fields are required, recommended or read-only.   

Once all fields on the screen are complete, click Save. A success message appears to confirm that the screen saved successfully:

The Security Password, Security Question, and Security Answer defined on this screen now display within the Person Verification message for the person in the workspace.

The Queue Selector drop-down displays the name of the queue being worked. Select the drop-down to see a list of all assigned queues and navigate to other queues.

Selecting a queue from the drop-down opens an account in that queue. If no accounts are available in a queue, a message displays stating that no accounts are available in the selected queue and prompts to select another queue from the list. 


When a queue is selected from the Queue Selector drop-down, an information icon appears and hovering over this icon displays the number of persons and accounts remaining to be worked in that queue. This feature is controlled by system administrators in System Management > Areas. 
 

For the information icon to appear within this section of the toolbar, a queue must be selected and the Total and Remaining Accounts and/or Persons functionality must be enabled by the system administrator in System Management > Areas.
The Get Next button allows the user to advance to the next person in the queue. This feature is controlled by the system administrator in System Management > Areas. 

System administrators can configure icons to appear in a column within the Related Accounts panel to identify the accounts that must be worked before selecting Get Next.

If Get Next is selected before the required accounts are worked, the following error message displays:

While working a case queue, the Get Next button allows users to skip active tasks in a case and get the next case in the queue.

When tasks are skipped, they are rescheduled to be worked the following workday, adhering to the workday schedule assigned to the task.

The Get Next button is disabled unless the person is accessed by working a queue and the Get Next functionality is enabled by the system administrator.
If another user is currently working the person in the workspace, an In Process message displays on the workspace toolbar. An information icon appears within this message to alert users that more information is available. Hovering over the icon displays the user that is also working the person.

Multiple users are able to work a person, but work may be duplicated. There is a possibility that saved changes will be overwritten if another user in process saves a screen containing the fields being edited.

Show2 - Person Summary Panel

The Person Summary Panel is designed to provide a quick, high-level overview of a person. The information that appears within this panel is system-defined and includes home address; the home, work, and mobile phone numbers related to the record for the person-in-context; email address; Social Security number (SSN); and date of birth. The address that displays within the Person Summary panel is the Default Home address identified in the database for that person.

The content in the Person Summary Panel is driven by the person record selected to access the workspace. A person may include multiple person records such as joint checking accounts, third party mortgages, and third party credit cards that are grouped by SSN under a single Person Master record. This may cause a variation in the name displayed, as well as the home address. If a person record does not have a home address, any address associated to the person master record may be displayed.

By default, the system populates the most recent address record for the person in the Person Summary Panel. If that record has a blank value for Address 1 in the database, the system automatically populates the next most recent address that includes a value for Address 1.

The phone numbers displayed in the Person Summary panel are related to the record for the person-in-context. Click the  that appears next to the first phone number in the panel to open the Other Phones window that lists all phone numbers recorded for the person in the Person Master record:

By default, only the Home, Work, and Mobile phone numbers related to the record for the person-in-context are displayed in the Person Summary panel. Any phone numbers with a type of Fax or Other appear within the Other Phones window.
The Other Phones window displays all phone numbers recorded for the person in the Person Master record, including the phone numbers that appear in the Person Summary panel.

When the record for the person-in-context does not include a phone number, a message stating "No Phones available" displays in the Person Summary panel and clicking the  icon opens the Other Phones window to access any additional phone numbers in the Person Master record:

If there are no additional phone numbers recorded in the Person Master record, the Other Phones window displays the following message:

Administrators can also configure additional data to appear in the Person Summary by assigning Presentation rules to this area of the workspace. If rules are assigned to this area, a message displays within the panel to notify that rules are executing:

The additional data configured through rules appears below the current system-defined information once the workspace has completely loaded. 

A tooltip is included in the Person Summary panel to display only the last four digits of a Social Security number. The rest of the SSN is masked until the  icon next to the SSN is clicked to display the full number. When the click is released, the masked SSN displays once again. SSN masking cannot be disabled as PCI compliance dictates an SSN cannot be displayed in clear text on a screen.
