Also displayed within the Service Request Groups List View are Groups of Requests that are created as Multi-Item Requests. These Requests allow for multiple Items to be assigned during the Service Request creation process and result in separate Requests being created for each Item assigned to the initial Request, which are then displayed within the Related window of the Service Request Information screen.
The Requests are managed as individual tasks, although they may be updated in bulk. This allows for the specific requirements of Items being modified to be managed effectively, ensuring each Item has its own Audit Trail, Attachments and Notes for future reference.
Multi-Item Requests are also listed as separate Service Requests within the Service Requests List View.
Multi-Item Requests are created like a single Item Request, but have more than one Item assigned during the Service Request creation process. See: Create a Request - Item Information.
For more information about managing Multi-Item Requests, see Related Requests.
