# Working with Requests

**Requests** can be used to order equipment or request services. This feature is available in both the **Enterprise** and **Industrial** editions of **Quantify**.

Users can submit requests through the desktop version of **Quantify** or via the **Quantify Request Portal** in **Quantify Web**.

The **Request Portal** allows field users to request materials or services for job sites using any web browser or mobile device (iOS or Android). This functionality is available to users with a valid **Quantify Web license**.

Before users can use the Request Portal, you must enable that access in [the **Requests** tab](/v1/docs/about-the-global-options-dialog-requests-tab) of [the *Global Options* dialog](/v1/docs/the-global-options-dialog).

## About the Requests Tab

You assign Requests to Job Sites. If you click a Job Site and then click the **Requests** tab, you will see the Requests assigned to that Job Site. The areas in the **Requests** tab provide details of each Request. The top table shows information about all the Requests in the tab and provides features for viewing and working with Requests, including:
