About Request Type Options

The Dimensions CM Request Type Options are a group of settings that determine the behavior of that type of request. They are represented as check boxes that you check to enable them. You can set them in the Options tab of the New/Copy/Edit Object Type dialog boxes. The options for request types are:

Option | Description
Create Requires Role | When this option is set, users can create a request of this type only if they have the Create Request privilege. By default, this means they require a role on the product to have this privilege. Note that users can also be granted the Create privilege for requests under General Grant Rules, "Grant to all users".
Save History | When this option is set, request attribute and action description history is saved when actioning to a new state. If set, the user can browse a request and view it at any particular action number. If the option is not set, the user can only browse the request at the current action number.
Notify Originator on Close | When this option is set, Dimensions CM automatically emails the request's originator when a request is actioned to its end lifecycle state.
Enforce Primary Role Constraint | When this option is set, the user can action a request to a new state only if a primary user exists for that state. If primary role function is assigned to a user, then leader role function (described below) cannot be assigned to the same user i.e. primary role and leader role functions are mutually exclusive.
Enforce Leader Role Constraint | When this option is set, the user can action a request to a new state only if at least one leader user exists for that state. If leader role function is assigned to a user, then primary role function (described above) cannot be assigned to the same user i.e. leader role and primary role functions are mutually exclusive.
Take roles from all affected design parts | This option affects the way that roles are calculated for the Request type. When the option is set, the roles will be calculated on a request of that type by including the role assignments on all the design parts to which it is related. When the option is not set, role assignments will be taken only from the common ancestor design part for all the related design parts. For more details, see Assigning Roles to Requests.
Disabled request type | When this option is set, users cannot create any new requests of this type.
