Requesting products through peer groups
You can see and request products that other identities within your environment have already requested. As a manager, you can also see products from the peer group of an identity that you manage. This way, you have a quick method of requesting products that are important to you or your responsible identities.
A peer group contains all the identities that have the same manager or the same primary or secondary department as the request recipient.
To request other identities' products
-
In the menu bar, click Requests > New request.
-
(Optional) If you want to make a request for another identity or check which products have been requested by their peer group, proceeds as follows:
-
On the New Request page, enable the For others option.
-
In the Recipients field, click Assign.
-
In the Change recipient pane, in the list, select the check boxes next to the identity you want to request products for.
NOTE: The list may contain a maximum of one identity. To remove an identity from the list, clear the check box next to the respective identity.
-
Click Apply.
-
On the New Request page, click 
(Actions) > Show products other identities requested.
This opens the New Request - By Peer Group page that, on the Products and Organizational Structures tabs, lists requests, memberships, and the peer group entitlements of the selected identity.
-
Add the products that you want to save for later, to the shopping cart (see Adding products to the shopping cart).
-
On the My Shopping Cart page, click Submit.

Requesting using request templates
You can use your own (private) request templates or request templates that are shared with all users (public) for making requests. This helps simplify proper provisioning for a particular job or function. For example, a template may contain all the products a new identity needs to get started. If you use a template for a request, you are not obliged to request all the products in the template. You only have to select the products you want from the template.
To request products using a request template
-
In the menu bar, click Requests > New request.
-
On the New Request page, click the Request Templates tab.
-
(Optional) On the Request Templates tab, select which request templates you want to display:
-
All request templates: Displays all available request templates (private and public).
-
Public request templates: Displays all request templates that users have shared with other users.
-
Private request templates: Displays all request templates that you have created and not shared with other users.
