Request Administration

The various tasks that an Administrator can perform on each request: using the Request Type Management in NPD Administration are:

  • To define number of parts that can be associated with requests.
  • To define wether the request can be raised on Preliminary Part/MEP or Enterprise Part.
  • To define role of approver on different lifecycle states of a request.
  • To define the role of the creator of the request.
  • To define at which state in the lifecycle of a Request the notification should be sent.

Only the requests defined in Request Administration by an Administrator can be assigned or created. When assigning a role for a request only those roles are displayed in the search page which are defined at the state or notification roles by the Administrator.
