View_Request

The following is a basic view of all requests. Here, the Request table has been joined with other CA SDM tables to give you more specific information, such as the request service type, severity, urgency, category, and priority. There is some additional information about the request listed, as well. All fields from the Request (call_req) table are selected. The extracted fields that are a result of the joined tables are listed at the end of this fields list.
