-
Select Create project to start a new project. Or, open the project where you want to create the Request List.
-
From the Project dashboard, go to the Tasks tab.

The request list is created.
Create from Tasks
To create a new Request List from the Tasks menu:

From your ShareFile account, go to Tasks > Request Lists.
