Capabilities of the Switching Request User Type
Switching Request users do not have full access to all switching sheet information and operations. Specifically, Switching Request users are limited to the following capabilities:
Creating and viewing Planned switching sheets only. All other types of switching sheets are not available to Switching Request users.
Creating copies of existing switching sheets.
Loading, printing, and emailing existing sheets. Only the information contained in the Request, Steps, Tracking/Audit Log, and External Documents tabs can be viewed, printed, or emailed.
Performing the following operations on switching sheets that are in the New or Request Rejected state only:
Completing the fields on the Request tab.
Adding, removing, modifying, cutting, copying and pasting steps within the current sheet's Steps list. Steps can be added by using the Manual Step Addition pane (See “Adding Steps Manually”) or by adding Comment steps. Note that cut, copy and paste operations are only supported for sheets that are in the New or Request Rejected states.
Adding, removing, and viewing attachments on the External Documents tab.
Adding comment entries to the audit log on the Tracking/Audit Log tab.
Incrementing and checking in versions of a switching sheet. This is done by selecting the Check-in button on the switching sheet toolbar.
Once a sheet has transitioned to (or beyond) the Prepared state, Switching Request users are limited to view-only mode.
