In the Work > Work Requests module, click the button. The Request form appears.
Identify the person or entity making the request by completing as many of the Customer (or Requester) fields as possible: Name, Phone #, Email, Req Address, Req Street Name, Req Parcel Number, etc.
These data points are also used to look up additional customer information and identify previous Requests the customer has made.
Identify the location of the issue by completing the Request fields.
Identify the Loc Address and Loc Street Name.
Select the Category and Problem to identify where the Request falls within your work system.
If possible, identify the Affected Asset.
Assign the appropriate Supervisor for the work.
Provide other information pertinent to the request.
Enter any information you would like to ensure is passed on to resulting Work Orders.
Enter detailed information about the problem or location of problem using the Request to Work Order field.
Select one or more records in the grid that require a Work Request.
Click the button. If any of the selected records do not have a Default Work Category, the following pop-up appears:
Select a Category and click OK. The system creates separate Work Requests for each selected asset and launches the Work Request module. Each new Request identifies the appropriate Work Category, Asset Type and Asset ID.
You can then edit the request to fill out other desired fields.
An inspector triggers a Request by checking the Maintenance Requested box on an Inspection record.
Source of Info: This feature is convenient when an inspector observes an issue that requires work but does not have permission to generate Work Orders.
In the Inspection record, check the Maintenance Requested field.
Click the button to save the Inspection. The system creates a Work Request and links it to the inspected asset.
You can now edit the request to fill out other needed information.
When the Request is later closed (the request's status is set to 952 or higher, because any required work was completed),the system automatically unchecks the Maintenance Requested check box on the Inspection record.
Note: Using the Create Request tool in the inspection module toolbar creates a Request but does not link the Request to the Inspection.

Alternative Request Channels
Emails from other internal Sources
An agency employee sends an email message to a designated address. Lucity's Request Generator application monitors that address and turns incoming emails into Requests.
Source of Info: This feature is convenient for employees who do not have access to Lucity but have a need to submit Requests.
Note: Lucity does not recommend this method for citizen requests.
