While only one person can access a request at a time, multiple users may attempt to access and modify a request over a period of time if the request is unassigned. Assigning a request can help avoid confusion by restricting the request to only one user.
Depending on your privileges, you may only be able to assign requests to yourself. If you have sufficient privileges, you can assign requests to other available users.
To assign a request:
-
Click the Assign button on the Release of Information tab.
If you have privileges to assign requests to other users, the Assign Request dialog box is displayed. Otherwise, the requests are assigned to you.
