# Request header type field groups

This section introduces request header type field groups and the predefined field groups available for use.

In this topic:

## Overview of request header type field groups

Request header type field groups are a way 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 function as normal fields but with the following restrictions:

- Fields in a field group cannot be removed individually, they can only be removed entirely with the field group.
- Some field properties cannot be modified

Each request header type field group has a custom token prefix that allows access to the data 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.

## Predefined request header type field groups

The following table lists the predefined request header type field groups available for use. You can add field groups to request header types by using the Field Groups button on the Fields tab of the request header type page. For details, see .

Field Group | Description
--- | ---
Agile Integration Info | This field group is just for request integration with agile entity
CMQC Application Project | CMQC Application Project (Also include PFM Project and CMQC QC/ALM Instance field groups)
CMQC Project Status | CMQC Project Status field group
CMQC QC/ALM Administration | CMQC QC/ALM Administration field group
CMQC QC/ALM Instance | CMQC QC/ALM Instance field group
CMQC Test Status | CMQC Test Status field group
CMQC Testing Project | CMQC Testing Project (Also include PFM Project and CMQC QC/ALM Instance field groups)
Demand Management SLA Fields | This Field Group contains the fields necessary to manage requests with SLA.
Demand Management Scheduling Fields | This Field Group allows a request to be scheduled with the Demand Management solution.
PFM Asset | Allows Requests to be considered as Assets in a Portfolio.
PFM Program | 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 | Allows requests to be considered as Proposals in the Portfolio Management process.
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.
Program Reference | Contains a field that allows a user to add a Program reference to a request.
Program Risk | Allows Requests to be considered as Risks in a Program.
Project Issue | Allows Requests to be considered as Issues in a Project.
Project Reference | Contains a field that allows a user to add a Project reference to a Request.
Project Risk | Allows Requests to be considered as Risks in a Project.
Project Scope Change | Allows Requests to be considered as Scope Changes in a Project.
QC/ALM Defect Information | This field group contains fields for PPM-QC/ALM Defect integration
QC/ALM Info | Allows Requests to use the special integration with QC/ALM
QC/ALM Release Information | This field group contains fields for QC/ALM Metrics integration
Service | Allows selection to identify the service associated with the request
