Tech Shop Requests

To put in or monitor the status of an order for machine shop or other technical work, use the "Sign In as Guest" link at the bottom of the Work Request Server page.

Create a Request

Putting in a work request requires having your name and email entered in the work request system. To open a work request:

1. Click "Work Request" (green button, top)
2. Fill in the yellow highlighted fields:
   • Click the "activate work request form" button (green button, upper-left corner)
   • Select "LTX" in the "Project" pulldown menu
   • In "Requestor Email" click the arrow and then begin typing your email to narrow the field.
   • Break LTX cost center code into three 4-digit parts as indicated
   • Mention in description how drawings will be provided (e.g. "drawings will be provided by email")
3. Verify information and click "enter work request" (green button, center-left)
   • Section B and Section C don't usually need to be filled out. Erik Perry handles approval of work requests
4. You will be given the option to download and save a copy of the completed work request form (possibly useful for tracking/later reference)

Track a Request

The "Show All Requests" (upper-left gray) button goes to a spreadsheet of existing work requests, but starts at the bottom (earliest) record.
