Requests are a central part of any team’s WorkFlow. Requests can come in from different users throughout the team, which then needs to be approved by an Administrator to become a Work Order. With UpKeep you have the ability to edit your Request Forms so that you can get the information you need to create a Work Order.
There are request forms for:
- Requester Users: those added to your team and can log in using an email and password.
- Public Requesters: those may be submitting a request via the Public Request Portal or email. (The public request portal is a feature beginning with the Professional Plan.)
You can edit the request form to get the information you need to then create a work order. Once your requesters begin submitting a work request, they will only submit the information that you need.
TIP: Looking for instructions on how to submit and manage work requests? Your requests can find instructions on how to submit a request. Admins can find an article on how to create and manage requests!
