INFORMATION ON THIS SCREEN:

Request	EMAIL: <subject of e-mail message>. EMAIL must be changed to one of the other Request Types (ADD, MODIFY, DELETE, COPY, MOVE, or RENAME) before the request can be published or approved to a workflow stage that requires a valid Request Type.  If the e-mail message requests a MODIFY of an existing document and the e-mail message does not contain the document, a Submit New Request should be initiated for the existing document, based on the instructions in the e-mail request. If the e-mail message contains the new document, it will replace the existing document when the request is published. If the e-mail message requests a MOVE, RENAME or COPY of an existing document, a Submit New Request should be initiated for the existing document, based on the instructions in the e-mail request.
Request Type	A drop-down box where you may select one of the following request types: ADD, MODIFY, DELETE, COPY, MOVE, RENAME.
Filename	The path and filename for the document. The path is not required until the document is published or approved to a workflow stage that requires a valid path and filename.  A filename with an extension (for example: .html, .gif) is required so that the browser can render the page correctly in Preview or View Request.   This field is referenced by the following Template variables: <$filename> - The Directory Path and Document Filename.  <$fname> - Document Filename without the Directory Path. <$dir> - Directory Path in URL format using "/" as a separator. <$dirpath> - Directory Path in operating system format, using "/" as a separator for Unix servers and "\" as a separator for Windows servers.  <$dirname> - Directory Name where content is stored without the full path. <$dirdesc> - Directory Description, available only when set in Directory Properties. <$dirsection> - Directory Section Name available only when set in Directory Properties See Template Language for more information.
New Filename	This filename must be supplied for COPY, MOVE or RENAME Request Types.
Subject	The subject line of the e-mail used to submit this request.
Title	The title of the document. This field is referenced by the <$title> template variable. See Template Language for more information.
Description	A description of the document; up to 255 characters. This field is referenced by the <$description> template variable.See Template Language for more information.
Keywords	A set of search keywords used in a search index that point to the template. This field is not used by WSD. This field may be referenced by the <$keywords> template variable to create meta-tags.  See Template Language for more information.
Locked By	Displays the name of the user who locked the request. If you have "Unlock All Requests" System Permission, you may unlock the request or change the name of the user to whom the lock is currently assigned. See User Permissions .  Care should be taken before unlocking a 'locked' request to make sure it is not currently being worked on by the locking user. To unlock a locked request, or change the name of the "Locked By" user, select "No Lock" or the name of a user from the drop-down box.
Author	The Last Name, First Name and User ID of the Author. The default for this field is set on the System Policy screen. If you are an authorized user, you may change this field. When template variables are used, this field may be used to record a "by line" when the originating author has to review the completed composition. For e-mail requests from a non-WSD authorized user, this name can be assigned to any authorized WSD user. Different components of this field are referenced by the following Template variables: <$author> or <$authorlogin> - Author's WSD Username for login  <$authorname> - Author's First and Last Name  <$authorfirstname> - Author's First (given) Name  <$authorlastname> - Author's Last Name (surname) <$authoremail> - Author's Display E-mail Address   <$authorurl> - Author's URL. Must have been entered on Edit User Info screen  See Template Language for more information.
Maintainer	The Last Name, First Name and User Name of the WSD-authorized user allowed to disapprove documents in workflow stages to which the user does not normally have access. When template variables are used, this field is an alternative method of recording a "by line" naming the maintainer instead of the author of the prose, when your site uses "Author" to refer to individuals creating presentation content. Maintainer-related information can be referenced using the following template variables: <$maintainer> or <$maintainerlogin> - Maintainer's WSD Username for login. <$maintainername> - Maintainer's First and Last Name. <$maintainerfirstname> - Maintainer's First (given) Name  <$maintainerlastname> - Maintainer's Last Name (surname) <$maintaineremail> - Maintainer's Display E-mail Address.  <$maintainerurl> - Maintainer's URL. Must have been entered on Edit User Info screen.  See Template Language for more information.
Submitted by	The WSD-authorized user who submitted the request into the workflow process, The Last Name, First Name and User Name if the submitter is a WSD-authorized user. Not all of this information may be available for requests submitted via e-mail. Submitters may be allowed to disapprove documents in workflow stages to which they do not normally have access. When template variables are used, this field can be used to retrieve the following submitter-related information: <$submitterlogin> - Submitter's WSD Username for login. <$submitterfirstname> - Submitter's First (given) Name  <$submitterlastname> - Submitter's Last Name (surname) <$submitteremail> - Submitter's Display E-mail Address.  Note: If you have "Modify Submitter" System Permission, you may change the name of the submitter. See User Permissions .  For e-mail requests this information is derived as follows: from authorized WSD users, this name is derived from the submitter's e-mail address. from non-WSD authorized users, the e-mail address in this field must be assigned before the document is approved to a workflow stage requiring "Submitter" as a "Required Request Field." Modify Submitter permission is not required in this case.

This number begins with 1.0, and is automatically incremented by 0.1 or the default "Version Increment" assigned on the System Configuration screen. The value in this field will be permanently assigned/recorded when the document is published to the web site. While a request is being processed, the revision number can be changed manually, but only to a *larger* number. This number may not be less than 1.0, and must be larger than the most recently published version. This field is referenced by the <$revision> template variable.
