Canceling a Change Request

To cancel a change request, you must do so before you update the status to requested.

Unless you are a Change Manager, you can only cancel a change request when it is in the logged state. Change Managers can change the status of a change request at any time.

5.Click Save. The Cancellation Reason window open.

6.Enter the reason for canceling the request and click OK. The status of the change request is set to "Canceled".

An email is sent to the Change Manager and the change requester of the cancellation.
