Change requests

Change request overview​

To correct mistakes and/or improve (an element within) a message model, users can submit change requests. An overview of all change requests can be found by selecting Community > Change requests on the menu bar.

There are four different tabs:

  • Open change requests lists all change requests that are open and have yet to be solved.
  • All change requests lists all change requests ever posted.
  • CRs from my organizations lists all change requests that have been submitted by colleagues from your own organization.
  • Create new enables users to submit a new change request.

For the first three tabs, each change requests contains the same information:

  • The identifier of the change request.
  • The title of the change request, as specified by the submitter.
  • The project to which the change request belongs. Specifications, such as message models, can be grouped within different, logical projects.
  • The submitter, identified using the account name (often an email address).
  • Checkbox indicating whether the change request is open and has to be solved, or is closed and solved already.
  • A label indicating the status of the change request.
  • The date of submission.
  • The date of the last comment being posted at the change request.
