The Status field reflects the current state of the request. This field will be manually updated as it is reviewed by the appropriate parties.

Since you are creating a new request, keep the Status field set to Newly Requested.

Note: Items with a status of Newly Requested are not visible to the public. They become visible on the Enhancements Roadmap once items are moved to the Under Review status.

The options in the list are filtered to display only the functionality in the category you selected above.

11. Step 11

Enter an appropriate identifier for the enhancement request into the Ticket ID field. This identifier should come from the originating ticket system (i.e. TeamDynamix).

If there is no ticket ID, include the name of the person making the request in the Internal Notes field.

Example shown here: "TD12345678".

12. Step 12

If appropriate, you can set a Target Date for the release of the enhancement request. In many cases, enhancement requests will not have a target date when initially entered, unless you are entering an item that is already tentatively scheduled for release.

Upon clicking the Target Date field, a calendar pop-up box is displayed. Navigate the calendar to select the appropriate date.

Note: The Target Date is a best estimate and is subject to change.

13. Step 13
