# Use requests

You can view requests in your inbox, open them, and set the default request for commits. If you are starting work on a request that is not in your inbox, you can display all the requests in the current stream.

Git Client IDE plugin 1.5 and later: You can work with requests from different providers in the same Dimensions CM instance. The supported providers are ALM Octane, Atlassian Jira, and SBM. For details, see Configure request providers.

To use requests:

1. In IntelliJ IDEA, select View > Tool Windows > Dimensions Explorer. The Dimensions Explorer view is displayed.

2. In the Dimensions Explorer view, select the Requests tab. In this tab, you can:

   - Search for requests.

   - View your inbox requests.

   - View all requests in the current stream.

3. To open a request in a browser, select the request, and click Open Request in the Requests toolbar.

   Dimensions CM requests open in the Dimensions CM web client. External requests open in their relevant provider instance such as ALM Octane, Jira, or SBM.

4. Git Client IDE plugin 1.5 and later: To view a request's details, select the request, and click Open Request Details in the Requests toolbar.

   The details are displayed in the right pane of the Requests view. The summary includes information about the request type, description, author, and creation date.

5. To set the default request for commits, right-click the request, and select Set Working Request. The request name is displayed in italics.
