Query requests

This section helps you to get the most from the Requests screen in Query Builder.

The Requests screen looks at all outstanding requests in IRIS Cascade. If you are using the HR Manager profile, you see the Requests screen by default. If you are using any other profile, you will need to activate the screen within the profile.

The table below lists the fields available on the Requests screen in Query Builder. To see the options in each of these fields, you must first run the query with no criteria selected. You will then see the options when you click Picker. If no options are displayed, there are no results to show.
