The requests are created by different methods:
  • the "Feedback" component provided with WINDEV. The end users send their requests.
  • the Project Management Hub: you have the ability to create a new request and to assign it to a spool.
Remark: A working project and a spool of requests are automatically created when the "Suggestions, problems..." option of the ? menu is included in the WINDEV application. This working project and this spool of requests are automatically associated with the WINDEV application.
