Working With Requests (Desktop)

The Requests screen provides an overview of all requests in the database. The Request screen allows for the monitoring of all requests on your job site where you can view the details of that request and move the request along the approval process. Creating a request is the first step in erecting a scaffold.

There are three types of requests:

Build- A request to erect a new scaffold.

Modify- A request to modify a standing scaffold.

Dismantle- A request to dismantle a standing scaffold.

Note: A Request's ID will be prefixed with an R.

The request's details are displayed in a table where you can find the status of the request, its priority, and which user made the original request. The type of data displayed within the table can be modified by selecting to show or hide specific columns by selecting Show Column Chooser.

Double-clicking on a row will display the Request Details dialog box where you can view more details for the selected request and modify the requestâ€™s details.
