     Every self-registration request that is submitted has to go through approvals for it to be processed completely.

     If a user tracks the current status of the request, the status is shown with a description of the stage the request is in. The status would be one of the following:

     • Pending: This state indicates that the request is submitted and the approval is pending. In case of default approval, the following status message is displayed:

       "Obtaining request-level approval for registration."

       If the request level approval is pending. Once the request level approval is obtained, the following status message is displayed:

       "Obtaining operation-level approval for registration."

     • Rejected: This state indicates that the request is rejected during approval. The description indicates the reason of rejection. In case of default approval levels, if the request got disapproved at the request approval level, then the following status message is displayed:

       "Request rejected. Please call Help-Desk."

       If the request gets disapproved at the operation level or request level, then the following status message is displayed:

       "Operation approval rejected for registration."

     • Completed: This state indicates that the request is completed. If all the approvals have been provided and the request is successfully completed, the following status message is displayed:

       "Request has been completed."

     • Failed: This state indicates that the request is failed during submission. If the request submission is failed, the following status message is displayed:

       "The request registration failed."

   • Date

     This is the last request update date. When the request is submitted and approval is not done, the date shown is the request submission date. In all cases, the date always reflects the last update date.

     This is the request number to be entered to track registration status.
