User Guidelines - Requests

Thee Request Application in Sahana Eden can be used for managing requests for Items, Assets and Human Resources.

Features

Requests

Requests can be made from any Site (Office, Warehouse, Hospital, Shelter, eg). Requests may include the following types of resources:

• Items (Consumables, eg. Food, Medical Supplies). More information on Items can be found UserGuidelines/Supplies.
• Asset (Coming soon)
• Human Resources (Coming soon)
