Email Request settings

Work Requests through the application are a convenient way to keep everything in one place as they eliminate the need for pen and paper, no more writing requests on a notepad only to find that it was misplaced. 

However, there are additional settings in the application to make this even more convenient such as Work Requests from Email  which can be found under SETTINGS > MODULE SETTINGS > REQUEST SETTINGS > EMAIL REQUEST
