I am tired of getting an email from managers about 20 or more person move ether the same day or the day before. And a training room set up for the next day or that day
I would like to create a Word document or a PDF that is only read, write and not change; and the managers would need to fill out completely and submit it to me or the help desk.
I am the only support person and would like to have a way to have the managers stop and think before they start unplanned moves.
This form should not let them complete it unless they fill out all fields and it is approved by me/helpdesk.
I worked for a few companies as a contractor that had great user move forms but I did not keep them.
Please let me know what user move forms you have in place.

It sounds like you're in a small enough shop that if you just make a clear form, with read-only areas and blank, form areas, whoever receives it can just send it back if it's incomplete.

[i]This form should not let them complete it unless they fill out all fields and it is approved by me/helpdesk.[/i]

Of course, you can go bananas with this kind of thing, but in my experience just listing the fields that the helpdesk needs then describing those in end-user terms is the important thing. A basic word processor should be fine to create a form with only specified fields writable.

At least for me, my users vary from time to time. At last count we have over two hundred in house and thirty work from home users. It varies because we are sending more and more people to work at home but we keep hiring people to replace them.
We have two training room that hold fifteen in one and twenty in the other. But we also have two conference rooms that double as training rooms. I have to set up training in the conference rooms but also on short notice have to remove all equipment for meetings. Hence the need for a complete move forms.
I have found a few good ones to look at from searches; I just need to recompile them to fit me needs.
