About Request Type Options

Create Requires Role

When set, users can create a request of this type only if they have the Create Request privilege. By default this means they require a role on the product to have this privilege. Note however, that users can also be granted the Create privilege for requests under General Grant Rules, "Grant to all users".

Save history

When set, request attribute and action description history is saved when actioning to a new state.

If set, the user can browse a request and view it at any particular action number.

If not set, the user can only browse the request at the current action number.

Notify Originator on Close

When set, Dimensions automatically e-mails the request's originator when a request is actioned to its end lifecycle state.

Enforce Primary Role Constraint

When set, the user can action a request to a new state only if a primary user exists for that state.

If primary role function is assigned to a user, then leader role function (described below) cannot be assigned to the same user i.e. primary role and leader role functions are mutually exclusive.

Enforce Leader Role Constraint

When set, the user can action a request to a new state only if at least one leader user exists for that state.

If leader role function is assigned to a user, then primary role function (described above) cannot be assigned to the same user i.e. leader role and primary role functions are mutually exclusive.

Take roles from all affected design parts

This option affects the way that roles are calculated for the Request type. When the option is set, the roles will be calculated on a request of that type by including the role assignments on all the design parts to which it is related.

When the option is not set, role assignments will be taken only from the common ancestor design part for all the related design parts.

For a more detailed explanation, see Assigning Roles to Requests.

Disabled request type

When set, users cannot create any new requests of this type.
