1. Setting up Request types
Request types are used by end-users to submit tickets. It is almost like service catalog your users see when they come to the portal to seek support. Clients can easily provide the information the MSP needs from them, so that they can resolve issues faster and more efficiently. This system is designed to replace ConnectWise's Portal Types and our previous Request Types engine and can be used by Autotask partners.
This helps in creating ticket categories and helping your clients to identify their problems faster.
Eg. A customer wants to send a new employee request. See how it would be easy for him to request support.
