# Optimize process management with ad-hoc requests

## Allowing ad-hoc related requests

By selecting the 'Allow Ad-hoc Related Requests' in the Process Details settings, users will have the ability to relate a request for another process to a request for this process.![](@/assets/guides/workflow-automation/files/1712/allow_ad_hoc.1281x0-is.png)

Users can choose to launch a request as a child to the request that is being viewed or choose an existing request as a parent of the request being viewed.

## Cancel request – configuration

Only the process administrator will have access to enable/disable this feature.

To enable the Cancel Request option, go to Processes under Administration, and open the process that needs this feature. Click the Process Detail section and find the **Allow Request to be Cancelled** button and toggle it on.![](@/assets/guides/workflow-automation/files/1712/allow_cancel.1281x0-is.png)![](@/assets/guides/workflow-automation/files/1712/cancel.1298x0-is.png)
