Probably a stupid question here: what type of object is a Promotion Request?
I just want to create a custom view in the table on the "Updates" page and want to filter out all other document types so that people can see what they've requested to be Promoted.
I've been fiddling around with it but can't seem to find out which it is. The info page doesn't do anything for me..

Further to this discussion:
Promotion Requests created by a user are visible under their "Updates" link, mixed in with everything else they produce and check-in. My intention is to let them filter out everything else from the list so they can see only these items, since they get no response from the system the the request was created successfully other than an item in the updates list. If they are creating a lot of stuff, things get lost and I have received multiple requests from the same people for the same objects as a result.
I tried experimenting with the object types in the viewsettings for the updates list and discovered that if I removed ANY of the types, the promotion requests would disappear from the list.. Needless to say I find this behaviour mystifying..
I'm going to open a call to tech support when I get a chance..

I tried the Saved Search and it works OK as a work-around.. Thanks for the tip: I should have thought of that 🙂 It would be nice if there was aconfirmation email or message on the web page (using javascript?) that acknowledged the success of the operation.
As for pet peeves, I'm sure our users could list several hundred or so after just 1 month's use.. 🙂
