Future Feature - Users able to submit requests

[IanMayo]

This requires scoping, and is not required for MVP

Frequently users want admin staff to do something to a set of items. This could be to fetch them from the store, send them somewhere, do some kind of inspection of them - all kinds of things.

We could handle this through the concept of a UserRequest. This will consist of:

• User: current user
• Created At: date (hidden in popup form)
• Status: Unallocated (default), Allocated, Completed (hidden in popup form)
• Action: "Retrieve", "Forward to ...", "Other ...."
• Extra details: Free text, as necessary for above
• Priority: High/Medium/Low
• List of items

So, the use will used ItemList to filter/find some set of items, select them, then click on Request ... from the toolbar. A popup dialog will allow the above extra information to be filled in, and the submitted.

A new left-hand menu item will be created for Requests. By default it will show unallocated requests and requests allocated to the current user (though these filters can be removed). The welcome page will also show a list of unallocated requests.
