- Click the Visualize Selected Requests
button
to view the chosen requests (with selected checkboxes) on the map.

button is enabled only after you've selected the Visualize
Selected Requests button. It removes all symbology displayed by the
Visualize Selected Requests tool. - Click OK. The OK button remains disabled until you have
at least one checkbox selected.TIP: You can filter requests using the drop-down field in the upper-right corner of the Add Requests window. The requests are grouped by the value selected in the filter field.
When a request has been assigned to a switching order, it is indicated in the Switching Order Editor and on the Responder web browser. The person who submitted the request can view the details of the request on the web browser to see the switching order's scheduled start and end dates and times.
