When you start Dimensions CM, you can open any one of the following lists.
Draft list. Includes private requests not yet created (similar to draft emails).
Inbox. Includes requests assigned to you. Requests appear on your Inbox based on your role and the life cycle for this request type as defined in the process model. Your inbox appears in two contexts:
My Current Project/Stream: Requests in this inbox are only those related to the current project or stream.
Global Inbox: Requests in this inbox include those related to any project or stream.
Catalog: Includes all requests in the Dimensions CM primary catalog (i.e. not in the secondary catalog). This appears in two contexts:
My Current Project/Stream: Requests in this catalog are only those related to the current project or stream.
Global Catalog: Requests in this catalog include those related to any project or stream.
Secondary Catalog list. Includes all requests that have reached the end of their normal lifecycle, or are in an off normal end state. You can transfer requests to the secondary catalog from the Primary Catalog list, enabling you to tidy up your primary view by moving requests that no longer active.
Dimensions CM preserves relationships to other requests, design parts and items when requests are transferred to the secondary catalog.
You cannot update requests in the Secondary Catalog list but you can query them.
Only a user with the required privilege can transfer requests between the two catalogs. Additional rules govern when a request can or cannot be transferred.
Request lists. You create these lists for your own purposes from the Inbox, the catalog list, or other pre-existing request lists. You can append or remove individual requests to a request list. You can delete existing lists and create new ones.
