Response Methods

Response Methods define how the final response to a request is delivered to the requestor.

Common Response Methods

  • Email
  • Physical mail
  • In person / pickup
  • Secure portal

Managing Response Methods

  • Add — Click Add Method, enter the name (and translations if multiple languages are enabled), and save.
  • Edit — Click on an existing method to update it.
  • Remove — Delete methods that are no longer needed.

Usage

When an SAO records the response on the Response tab of a request, they select the delivery method from a dropdown. This records how the response package was sent to the requestor.
