Page History

1.2 Click the Requests button and complete the Submit a New Request form.

• Title:  Enter a title for the Request.

  Tip
  The title should be descriptive but not too detailed.  "Training" is not a good title (too general); "SOI photonics fabrication training" would be better (adds more detail, differentiates it from other training requests).

  
  

• Project:  Select a project to contain any charges that may be associated with the request. If the request does not warrant any charge, nothing will be billed.

• Type:  Select an appropriate type from the available list.  If your request does not exactly match one of the available options, choose the closest fit.

  Note
  Selecting some request types will open up a sidebar to the right fo the form, providing additional information regarding the intended purpose of the request type, details to be included in the Summary field, etc.

  
  

• Equipment (optional):  If the request is associated with a single piece of equipment (e.g., booking cancellation, equipment configuration, single-tool training request), select the tool here.  If the request does not involve any equipment (e.g., new material import) or it involves multiple pieces of equipment (e.g., training on a fabrication process flow requiring several tools), this field can be left blank.
• Summary:  Enter a descriptive summary for the request. This should be as detailed as possible, but keep in mind you can add much more information once the request has been created.

1.3 Click the Create Request button to submit the request.

Once the form has been completed and submitted, you have completed the minimum requirements for submitting a request.  You will see your request listed along with any other pending requests you have already submitted.  However, if you would like to (or need to) add more information, you can now elaborate on the request.

  Add Items:  Use this form to add new items to the request.
  • Items can represent anything from a process step, to a sample, or a sub-task of the primary request. Each item can have its own files, comments, and bookings associated with it.  A common use case for training requests is to add an item for each piece of equipment on which you need training.

• Item Details:  Use this section to view, reorder, and edit the details of the individual items.
  • Clicking an individual item will allow you to edit the data associated with the specific item.
  • Items can be re-ordered (by dragging and dropping) if required to represent a process flow
