Just to clarify this question is not for Cloud version.
At the Customer Portal, within the 'Requests' button there are 2 options: 'My requests' and 'All requests'. But regardless of which one I picked, below is the search selections I see.

Here, I have to select 'Any status' instead of 'Open requests' in order to see my issue, even for ones that are not closed.
Question 1: is there a way to configured so that the default is 'Any status'?
Question 2: What is considered as 'Open requests' or 'Closed requests'? It seems the only way I can get anything to show up is for 'Any status' option. What do I need to do so requests can show up when I filter the first box?
Thank you.
