Consolidating Requests

Request consolidation enables you to combine multiple in flight requests into a single consolidated request. You consolidate requests from the request activity page.

Considerations

• All of the requests to be consolidated must be in the same view.
• All of the requests to be consolidated must have a status of In Flight.
• None of the requests to be consolidated can have a request type of Consolidation.
• You must have at least Data Manager permission for all of the actions in all of the requests to be consolidated.

To consolidate requests:

1. From Request Activity, select multiple requests that meet the criteria in the Considerations section, above.

   Tip:

   Ensure that you have selected all of the requests that you want to review in a consolidation request. You cannot add more requests to an existing consolidation request. To add another source request to a consolidation request, discard the consolidation request and create a new one with all of the source requests included. See Discarding a Consolidation Request.
2. Click Consolidate Requests, and then optionally select the check box to include the original request owners as collaborators on the consolidation request. Then, click Yes to confirm.

   The source consolidated requests are marked as Consolidated, and the new consolidation request is available in Request Activity.

After you consolidate requests, the following actions take place:

• The source requests are marked as Consolidated, locked for changes, and workflow on them is stopped.
• A request history item is added to each of the consolidated requests indicating the consolidate action, as well as the user and timestamp.
• The source requests are combined into a single consolidation request. The new consolidation request status is set to Draft and the stage is set to Submit.

  Note:

  A consolidation request has a limit of 12,000 request items.
