Request Types

[Jairo Granado]

Hello Atlassian Community! 

I'm new here and I'm hoping someone could give me some guidance in regards to Request Types in the Project Settings. I'm trying to figure out if there's any way to configure the REQUEST TYPES.

I want to be able to delete Incidents, Problems and Changes and create my own request types. Is that possible?

Regards,

Hello @Jairo Granado !  Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

What you're looking to replace are the categories that are displayed by default on a JSM project that uses the ITSM template.  I'm not sure if you can substitute that with different request types.

Hello Robert!

I appreciate the response as well! Say it ain't so! </3. I was afraid it something like that. I appreciate you and @John Funk 's response. Thank you for both of your time and have a great rest of your week.

Hi Jairo - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Yes, you should be able to add new Request Types and delete the ones you don't want. 

Just click on the Request Types heading to see the list.

Hello John!

I greatly appreciate the quick response. I believe I may have not posted the question properly. Let me give you an example to how I want my end result to look like (if possible)

Current:

Project Settings -> Request Type:

Desired end result:

Project Settings -> Request Type:

I hope this clears up my inquiry. I do apologize for the inability to properly post the question.

Hi Jairo! How are you? 

You can't create your own work categories (that's what these are called) but you can remove those that you don't need, so long you don't need the request types in those groups nor any of the specific functionality available in those work categories ("Incidents" offers integrations with Opsgenie, "Changes" offers the change calendar etc.)

The first step is to go to "Project settings" > "Request types" and click on the categories you don't need and delete those request types. 

Then, click on "Project settings" > "Features" to disable those that you don't need. 

That said, you won't be able to create custom work categories, so you will only have service requests. 

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I hope this at least helped. 

Let me know if you have any further questions,
