Remove "View Request In Customer Portal"

Hello! Is there a way to remove this link? I don't want our support folks clicking on it. We aren't using the portal at this time. This is a test of an email request I sent to our Service Desk. customer access screen 5.12.22.PNG

It is possible to remove it, you have to clear out the Request Type field, that is what controls if the request is visible on the Portal or not.

@Clare Lawson You also may need to remove your request types from any portal groups you have set up, effectively hiding them.

Settings -> Request Types -> three dots on each type, edit portal groups, uncheck all

An email is by default added to a certain request type I believe

Hi Clare,

If you don't use the Portal, then the link won't be there. :-)

In other words, it only shows for issues created using the portal.

I sent an email in to the Service Desk email from Google. Didn't use the portal. What am I missing?

E-mails are automatically linked to a special request type so that follows the same flow as it would from the portal.

Out of curiosity - if you're not using the portal, why did you choose JSM? SLAs? Queues? Other?

Thanks

It's a project that was created before I started working here and the type is Service Desk. it's an old project.

if you also have Jira, and you don't need all the bells & whistles of JSM, you may want to consider moving to a regular Jira project and saving the cost of the JSM Agent licenses.

Great point @Amir Katz (Outseer) , they are pretty spendy if you are not using any of the JSM specific features

Very true. However, IMHO, it merits a different thread, so I suggest we don't go down this thread by going down the rabbit hole of JSM vs. regular Jira, I'm sure this topic has been discussed ad nauseam :-)

In my case, like Clare's, I inherited the JSM project. Not sure if I would have chosen it if it was up to me. But, as they say, 'it is what it is'...
