Imagine a well-organized structure where tickets sit neatly within Departments, and each agent handles tasks suited to their skills. This is the core of request types, simplifying support tasks for your team. Request types serve as the second layer of categorization under departments, compulsory for organization. Each type can be assigned to an admin for supervision or a team for processing, with an SLA for resolution time. Within request types, you can design workflows and forms.
