# How do requests work?

 * I can see the Requests section on the admin page, but I don’t understand how 
   can users initiate these requests. For erasure requests I can at least add a 
   user manually, but for Rectify data and Complaint there seems to be no option
   to do so. I expected to see such option on the user account page but I don’t 
   see any new options appearing there after installing the plugin.
 * Thank you for your help!

 * Hi [@adamsandor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adamsandor/),
 * For Complaints or Rectification of data, you can use the shortcodes or php functions
   to add a form to one of your pages.
 * Users usually add the request forms on their privacy policy page so users have
   a central hub where they can check the policies and make requests.
 * After you submit the form, you get a confirmation email, after confirming with
   the email link, you will see the entry on your dashboard.
 * Erasure is the only one that made sense at the time to enable manual lookup.
 * Please keep in mind that the shortcodes on the plugin description have the wrong
   quotes. Replace those and you should see the form.
 * If the form doesn’t work for you, please let me know asap so I can further investigate.
