What are help resources?

In Jira Service Management, help resources refer to tools or resources created and managed within a service projectto assist customers in resolving problems, accessing information, or serving themselves.

You can create three types of help resources in a service project: request types, knowledge base articles, and links to external resources.

リクエストタイプ

リクエスト タイプは、受信リクエストの定義と分類に役立ち、リクエストごとに適切な情報を収集できます。

Each service project comes with a set of pre-configured request types. You can also create new request types to meet your team’s and customers' needs.

You need to be a project admin to create request types. Find out more about request types.

ナレッジベース記事

Knowledge base articles are informative pieces of content that offer solutions, troubleshooting guides, best practices, and answers to commonly asked questions. For example, if you get a lot of requests on how to access office wifi, you can write a how-to article explaining the steps.

Project admins and agents can create knowledge base articles. Find out how to create a knowledge base article.

外部リソースへのリンク

外部リソース機能を使用すると、役立つナレッジ、チャットなどの通信チャンネル、リクエスト フォームなどへのリンクを、Jira Service Management の外部のツールから追加できます。

For example, you could add a link to a video on how to set up your VPN or a link to a document about your leave policy. Or you could share a Slack channel that would guide your customers or employees to the right service team. Or if your HR team uses a different tool to receive requests, you could add a link to request forms that live in this request management system.

You need to be a project admin to add and manage links to external resources on your service project. Find out more about adding external resources to your service project.
