Entering Data Recording Requests

The Recording Requests pane of the Setup dialog is where you manage the requests for recording.

The pane is divided vertically. On the left is a tree structure representing the configuration created in CASDEF: the products, systems, views, and fields available in the host systems. Field names will have the number of requests associated with them (if any) in parentheses.

You can use the right mouse button to bring up a menu of actions that can be requested for some of these tree entries.
