Add a dependent

You can add dependent accounts for family members or anyone that should receive alerts when you do. Add a dependent account for anyone who is your responsibility and does not have an account in the system.
The operator has the option to include dependents when sending out an alert or requesting accountability status.
Dependents can respond to alerts and update their status for events from the Self Service inbox if a password is added to their user profile and manual user authentication is enabled for Self Service in the organization.
If your dependent does not respond to an accountability event, you may be requested to provide their status through the Inbox.
