Requests H

This page contains the following tabs:

General tab

Use this tab to Create Requests.

Field

Description

Confirm External Contacts

Click to confirm external contacts assigned to the request. Once External Contacts and Org Units (if applicable) are confirmed, the request becomes active.

dspCompose™ sends an email with an Excel spreadsheet attached that contains request data to users configured as external contacts for the External Data role. This user updates the spreadsheet and attaches it to an email and sends it back to dspCompose™.

The icon is active if the request uses a template with an External Data role and if at least one external contact is configured with a valid email address for the request.

If the request has both external contacts and Org Units assigned, Org Units must be confirmed before external contacts.

Confirm Org Units

Click to confirm the Org Units assigned to the request. dspCompose™ removes Org Unit values from a request that do not have the ASSIGNED check box enabled on the Request (Org Unit Assignments) page. Once confirmed, these values cannot be changed. Once Org Units and External Contacts (if applicable) are confirmed, the request becomes active.

The icon is active if the request uses a template where Org Units are configured.

If the request has both external contacts and Org Units assigned, Org Units must be confirmed before external contacts.

Request Properties

Description

Displays brief description of the request.

Template

Displays template name used for the request.

Connections

Click to open the Request Connections page to set the target ERP system connection(s) that are used to post the data during the posting role. dspCompose™ can post to multiple target ERP system instances.

Refer to Establish a Connection to a Target System for more information.

NOTE: If a user adds a request based on this template and does not select a connection ID, the default connection assigned to the Integrate Template is used for the request.

Org Units

Click to open the Request (Org Unit Assignments) page to view a list of Org Units values used in the request. Depending on how Org Units are configured for the template (using the Org Unit Security Level set on the Advanced tab of the Templates page’s Vertical View), users may be able to assign and unassign Org Units from the request. The icon is not active if Org Units are not set up for the template used by the request. Once Org Units are confirmed for the request (i.e., Confirm Org Units button is clicked), the Org Units icon is no longer available.

Org Units Assigned

Click to open the Request (Org Units Assigned) page to view the Org Units assigned to the request. This icon is active once Org Units Assigned are set up for the assigned template.  

Request Status

Displays the current status of the request, as indicated by the Status icon on the Horizontal View. Values are: Cancelled, Deleted, Finished, Posted, Posted With Errors, Posting, Posting Scheduled and Request In Process.

Posted On

Posted By

Displays the user ID of the user assigned to the Post role who clicked the Finish button on the Request (Post) page.

External Role Contacts

The icon displays the number of external role contacts that have a valid email address. Records that contain only a Role ID are not included in the count.

Roles

Click to open the Request (Roles) page, where request data is entered, reviewed and posted. If a request uses both external contacts and Org Units, the Roles icon will not be active and the request cannot be processed  until both the External Contacts and the Org Units have been confirmed.

Finish Download
