Then click on the Update List button.
You will be asked to confirm that you would like to freeze the request, click on the Yes button
A check the box from the Holds screen will indicate that the request is frozen. It will remain frozen until you decide that you want to un-freeze the request. To do so, simply follow these instructions to remove the check.
