Online DCR Process

New Account DCR

A New Account DCR can only be initiated from the Network Account Search results page. Even if the user does not have permission to create new accounts, the New Account button displays on the Network Account Search results page because the user can create a DCR with this button by making edits to the Account. The user must have access to the Account_vod record type in the DCR object in order to create a New Account DCR.

The page displays as a normal New Account page, with the addition of the Data Change Request section and required Notes field. After entering the Account information and a Note, when the user clicks Submit, My Accounts page displays.

Depending on the scenario, certain DCRs are created when you Submit.
