Understanding the Report Data

The Request History Report displays the following information per request:

  • Library: Name of the open-source library. Click the library name in order to be forwarded to its Library Details page.

  • Requested by: Name of the user that initiated the request

  • Approver: Name of the person assigned to approve the request 

  • Approvers Group: The group of people assigned to review the request

  • Approved by: The person that approved/rejected the request. This information is most relevant when a request is assigned to a group of approvers, as this column displays the person in the group that actually approved the request.

  • Date: The date the request was made

  • Product: The product in which the library is located

  • Project: The project in which the library is located
