Configure Request Statuses

The number of days a request is active is controlled by the request status. The Request Status Parameters feature enables users to define a Default Retention Interval to each request status type. The Default Retention Interval controls how many days requests of a certain Request Status remain active before they are archived. The Default Retention Interval is applied to all new templates. Modify the Default Retention Interval if the defaults are not appropriate.
