  2. Fill in the details as described in the form

Deleting

It is not recommended to delete a request. Instead, change its status to "Cancelled".

Please note that changing the status will send an email to the original requester.

If you need to delete a request (due to incorrect data entry or a duplicate entry), you can do so in two ways: from the list or from the item page. Deleting from the list allows you to delete multiple assets at once.

Deleting Multiple Items from the Request List
