Request Header Type Field Groups
Request header type field groups are a way for PPM to distribute a collection of fields required for certain functionality. For example, Demand Management distributes a collection of fields for service level agreements in the Demand Management SLA Fields field group.
Field group fields behave just as normal fields do, with the restrictions that you cannot remove them except by removing the entire field group and you might not be able to modify some of the field properties. Table 5-9. Request header type field groups lists the request header type field groups that are delivered with various PPM products.
You can add field groups to request header types by clicking Field Groups in the Request Header Type window.
Each request header type field group has a custom token prefix that allows the user to access the data of that field by using the format:
REQ.P.<Field_Group_Token_Starting_With_KNTA_>
When field groups are associated with existing request types (through the request header type definition), PPM database tables are updated to handle this new configuration. Because of the scope of database changes, the Database Statistics should be rerun on your database. Instructions for this are included in the Installation and Administration Guide. Contact the application administrator for help with this procedure.

Required for any request type that represents a program lifecycle (regardless of whether the program is considered in the portfolio) |
|
PFM Project
|
Required for any request type that represents a project lifecycle (regardless of whether the project is considered in the portfolio)
If the PPM system does not include the PFM - Project request type, you can create a new request type, add this field group to it, and then use this request type for projects. This field group is required for any request type that models the project lifecycle, regardless of whether the project is part of a portfolio.

PFM Proposal

Program Issue
|
Allows Requests to be considered as Issues in a Program.
Note: After you enable field group Program Issue: Allows Requests to be considered as Issues In a Program for a request header type, no Program Issue section is added to the Fields tab of the request header type. This behavior is by design and it has no functional impact. Request types using this request header type can still be used as program issue type and it works fine for program issue tracking.
