The Request Resource action allows you to make a resource request. When you initiate the request, the user application displays the initial request form. This form lets you specify all of the information needed for the request.
When a resource request requires permission from one or more individuals in an organization, the request starts a workflow. The workflow coordinates the approvals needed to fulfill the request. Some resource requests require approval from a single individual; others require approval from several individuals. In some instances, a request can be fulfilled without any approvals.
