Request items

Every request has defined items which can be filled in for it. These items are displayed on the General tab in the request detail and also as columns in the requests table.
Items can be edited when editing the request. Request can e edited both in ALVAO WA and in SD Console using the Edit command; in the console also by double-clicking on request in the table.
What items can be filled in for the request is defined on the service process. What items are required and what are optional is also defined here.
What items are visible for requester and which are displayed for filling in when creating the request via the Service Catalog in WebApp is specified in the service settings.

Request items are already predefined in the system. You can also create Custom items in the ALVAO WA – Management.
Custom items are edited in the same manner as request system items, they are displayed as columns in the request table and you can set whether they will be visible to requester.

Note:
All the system items are displayed on the General tab when creating or editing request in the SD Console. Custom items are displayed on the Other tab by default, but on the service process you can set (individual items) to be displayed also on the General tab.
