Compatibility with existing CiviCase installation

[demeritcowboy]

Maybe a silly question but I can't see the answer anywhere. Can you run a "regular" CiviCase install and enable the CiviHR extension at the same time? Or does CiviHR replace CiviCase when enabled?

[Erik Hommel]

I would assume you could do a regular CiviCase and CiviHR but I have not tried yet?

[demeritcowboy]

Thanks but the reason I think it replaces civicase is because when I go to the demo I see civicase is enabled but there's nowhere to get at the usual civicase screens. I can see in the config the default case types are disabled but even if I enable them I can't create a regular case. The url for the usual case add screen takes me to the new absence screen.

Can anyone confirm? Or is this just the way the demo happens to be configured?

In CiviHR , CiviCase has been used as 'Assignments'. There is word replacement done for 'Case' to 'Assignment'.

You can see case related things in 'Assignments' menu, from there you can add new assignments.

And yes default case types has been disabled in the extension installation but if you enable them you can add the cases against that type using normal case menu ie http://civihr.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/case/add?reset=1&action=add&atype=13&context=standalone&ctype=1

I could easily be wrong, but I thought you needed to run civihr as an install in its own right, not try to combine it with a "normal" civicrm site.

Ok. Thanks for the responses.

that's correct and it's a recommended way for using CiviHR as of now.

Is CiviHR 1.4 going to allow a combination of CiviHR and CiviCase to run on the same load of CiviCRM?

I am also running CiviCRM on Joomla as well so does this complicate any issues?

[JoeMurray]

From what I gather, there is only some disabling of default CiviCase functionality, but no incompatibility with other CiviCRM components. So Kurund, would it more accurate to say that CiviHR is not designed to be compatible with using CiviCase for other purposes at the same time?

I took the CiviHR off and just have CiviCase but when I try to save a case it gives an error message.  I have tried several ways to troubleshoot this and I am not getting resulting on using this.

Do you have any idea?
