Reopen a request if you're not satisfied with the resolution given by the legal
team.

## Antes de Iniciar

Role required: sn_lg_ops.legal_user

## Por Que e Quando Desempenhar Esta Tarefa

As a requester, you can only reopen your requests that have been closed (Close Complete or Closed Incomplete). You cannot reopen a request that has been canceled.  
Nota:  
The option to reopen is not available for approval-based workflow legal requests, such as stock preclearance approval, conflict of interest disclosure, and non-disclosure agreement with third parties.

## Procedimento

1. Navigate to AllEmployee Center.  
   Nota:  
   If you're using Legal Service Portal, open a request by navigating to the Legal Service Portal portal and selecting My Requests from the header.
2. Select My Requests from the header.
3. Select the legal request from the list.
4. On the Standard Ticket page, click Reopen Request to open the request.
5. In the dialog box, enter comments to explain why you are reopening the request in the Reason field.
6. Click Reopen Request.

## Resultado

The request is reopened, and its state changes to Work in Progress. The request is reassigned to the same legal team member to whom it was previously assigned.

If the administrator has configured email notifications, the
assigned user, practice area lead, assignment group manager, and any collaborators added to the request will
receive notifications about the reopening of the request by the requester. If the
legal request assignment group permissions is not No Access then all assignment
group members also notified.
