Provide a better layout to the cart page.

Background and strategic fit
Redesigning the cart provides more flexibility to the customers and coordinators when ordering items in CustomerCenter. Many customers would like to have the ability to save their cart, or a partial cart and come back later to submit the requests in the cart. The new cart will allow the customer to not only save their requests for later, but also to submit multiple requests on behalf of another individual, department, or multiple individuals and departments.
Assumptions
None at this time.

Notes
These changes will remove the Request amount next to the cart. By allowing multiple requests in the Cart, not all requests must be charged to the same owner, making the cart total cost misleading.
Clicking the count next to the cart will no longer open a popup displaying the list of items in the Cart.
The "Save For Later" page will be removed with this change. The "Request Tracking" page will show requests waiting for Approval.
User interaction and design

Cloak
All mockups are subject to change when the actual design is implemented in the application and may not reflect the final product, but a close approximation to the final design.
Adding Items to the Cart
Adding items to the cart will be different with the new cart design. Clicking on the "+Request" button will present the user with a menu that includes a top section to "Create a New Request" for adding Services or Equipment, and a list of existing "Saved Requests" in the cart. Selecting one of the saved Requests will add an Action that request.
