Enrollment Requests This view is not yet implemented.

Individual Approval Required Shows the requests that must be individually approved, that is, they cannot be approved by selecting multiple requests in ADMIN4.NSF and clicking Approve Selected Requests.

Name Move Requests Requests to move a user's name in the name hierarchy

Pending Administrator Approval Requests that are pending the approval by the administrator. There are additional views associated with this view. They are:

Pending by Age -- Shows all requests that are pending administrator approval, sorted by the number of days that the request has been in ADMIN4.NSF awaiting approval. Requests are sorted in increments such as 7 days, 14 days, and so forth, up to requests older than 90 days.
Pending by Server -- Shows all requests that are pending administrator approval, sorted by the name of the server on which the request will be processed.

Note: When you open ADMIN4.NSF from the Domino Directory, the Individual Administrator Approval view is listed here instead of as a separate view.

The Administration Requests database also contains these processing options that are available as buttons on the administration requests, according to whether to processing option applies to a particular request.

Table 2. Processing options

New Processing Option Description

Remove from View This button appears in the Administration Attention Required, All Errors by Date, and All Errors by Server views in ADMIN4.NSF, and is used to remove one or more requests from these views after an administrator has attended to the warning or reported error. Select the request that you want to remove from the view and click Remove From View.

Reprocess Selected Requests This button appears in the All Errors by Date and All Errors by Server views in ADMIN4.NSF, and is used to reprocess one or more requests that previously failed during processing. Select the requests that you want to reprocess and click Reprocess Selected Requests.

Complete Move for selected entries This button appears in the Name Move Requests view of ADMIN4.NSF, and is used to complete a move to another hierarchy for one of more requests.
