Changing the Request Form

Code Insight 6.14.2

Code Insight supports multiple request form definitions. A project can only be associated with a single request form. The product is shipped with two SQL scripts containing a sample definition of a short and long component request form.

Note:There are several built-in attributes that are required for each request form definition. They are discussed in the following section. Furthermore, the last Additional Information tab is fixed and cannot be changed. An administrator may change the Component Request form input fields (attributes) and/or add additional tabs.

Via a database SQL script, the following changes can be made to the request form:

•

Add or remove tabs.

•

Add or remove attributes.

•

Modify the fields of the attributes, including the text, help text, activity status (required, optional, or conditional), sequence and input type (for example, changing from text box to a list box with pre-defined values).

The Component Request form input fields provide you with the following:

•

Information a reviewer needs to make an informed decision as to whether you can allow a requester to use third-party components in the development process

•

Those users with requester role permissions can create a new component request and save it as a draft request: This way, requesters have the option of editing and completing the request at a later date.
