Set up the request form and issue view for a request type

Your request type appears to your customers and team members in two different ways:

1. The request form which customers fill out to raise a request. Once a request is raised, it becomes an issue.

2. The issue view which agents see when they work on issues in Jira Service Management. Learn more about the issue view in Jira Service Management.

You can choose which fields are visible on the request form and issue view by customizing the fields of your request types.
