Part Request Status and Assigned To
How do I efficiently update the statuses and assignments of multiple requests simultaneously?
Overview
Part Requests includes the option to add a Status column that indicates the current status of the request, specifying whether the request is Pending, Request Received, Need More Info, In Process, Approved, Parts Ordered, Parts Partially Received, Parts Received, Completed, Denied or Canceled. Additionally, an Assigned To column to notate who has ownership of this request.
If you do not see the Status or Assigned To column, click the Manage Columns icon at the top, right corner and click the box next to Status and/or Assigned To. To reorder the columns, click and drag the Manage Column icon to the respective order.
