Request Types
A request type in Jira Service Management defines the kind of support a customer needs. It helps categorize incoming requests, ensuring they are directed to the right team and handled with appropriate workflows. For example, a chat request might have request types like "Technical Issue," "Billing Inquiry," or "Account Update."
How to Set the Request Type for Chat Tickets
For team-managed service projects:
You can now customize the default request type used for chat tickets. To configure this:
Open the project and click Project Settings > Chat for JSM.
Select General Settings.
Locate the "Request Type" section and choose your preferred request type.
For company-managed projects:
Currently, changing the request type for chat tickets is not possible within the Chat for JSM Cloud app. However, you can still modify the request type and issue type directly in your Jira settings.
Request Labels
Chat for JSM sets the default label created-from-chat on all chat issues, but you can change it to any other value. This label is applied to all requests created by customers using the Chat Widget.
You can use this label in Jira filters and JSM queues to search for all issues created by Chat for JSM.
Before You Begin
Please ensure that the “Labels” Jira field is not hidden in the project’s field configuration.
How to Configure the Request Label for Queues
Open the project and click Project Settings > Chat for JSM.
Select General Settings.
Change the label, making sure you’re using short dashes to separate words.
Click Save.
Keep in mind that, when you change the default label, all new chat issues will have the new label instead of the old one. This means that queue definitions that use the “old” labels will not show the new issues.
