Finalize a Request

Once all the necessary information has been added to the request form and it has followed the informal departmental approval process, the next step is to finalize it. Finalizing the request will either generate the associated electronic document (such as a *DEFINE VE5 for Travel Authorization Requests) or send an email notification to a particular department (such as Facilities Services) that additional steps are now required.

Note: Once the request is finalized, no further changes can be made.

 

finalize a request

A request is finalized in the following ways:

  1. From the Request Form page, click the Advanced Options drop-down menu and select Save and Finalize
  2. From the Request Form page, click the Finalize tab

The user may be required to enter additional information on the Finalize page depending on the type of request. Click Finalize.

Note: For those requests that generate electronic documents, the Finalize page is the only time when the user is asked to select a creator desk.
