Many of us juggle multiple work requests every day. They keep teams busy and stakeholders satisfied, but if they’re not managed well, they can quickly become overwhelming.

Tracking incoming requests
Gathering important details
Prioritizing key tasks
Eliminate these challenges with Wrike’s easy-to-use work requests template.
Store workload requests securely, keeping your email inbox clutter-free
Collect key details upfront by ensuring all relevant data is included before requests are submitted

Why you need the work requests template
Streamlined requests
Wrike’s work request form template collates multiple requests into a central hub, making it easier to view, understand, assign, and manage each task.
Clearer information
The work requests template can be customized to ensure all key details are included, helping you gauge task requirements and allocate staff resources accordingly.
Better organization
The work request form template from Wrike is fully customizable, so you can label requests by category, priority, and assignee.
The work requests template will help your team stay on top of a busy schedule by sorting, streamlining, and storing work requests. Interested in seeing how it works? Just follow these three simple steps in your Wrike workspace.
Step 1: Organize your work requests
The first step is to enter your Wrike homepage, and click “Create Work Request.” This will open up a folder with a number of subfolders, including Work Request Internal (for colleagues), Work Request External (used by customers or clients), and a handy how-to guide.
Work requests are organized in the folders according to details, urgency, assignee, progress status, and more.
Step 2: Create a custom request form
Click the green “+” sign to create a request. That’ll bring you to a page offering two options: Work Request [External] and Work Request [Internal]. Both are designed to collect key information, including name, request type, urgency, and attachments.
You can also add custom fields to this request form to better reflect your own organization’s needs and priorities.
Step 3: Visualize your work request flow
Work requests can be visualized in a list format where overdue dates turn from green to red. You can also use a dashboard or a calendar to help you see upcoming or urgent deadlines at a glance.
Drag and drop requests to different dates, and color-code them to reflect their originators or assignees.
