Request Types module

This module is only available if you have installed Refined for Jira Cloud.

The Request Types module lets users create JSM requests on your Refined site. It lists all Request Types that a user is allowed to see in a JSM project. Please note that anonymous users have to create an account to file a ticket.

To help users keep track of their requests, you can add a My Requests module on the same page.

Want to direct your users to Atlassian instead?
We understand some customers want to lead their users to Atlassian when clicking on a request type, rather than keeping them on the Refined site. In that case, we recommend using a Navigation module instead.

Add this module to a page

All Refined Pages, Jira Projects, and Confluence Spaces that you add in the Site Builder get their own landing page on your Refined site. Modules are the building blocks of these pages.

  1. Go to the Page Builder.

  2. Hover your mouse over the desired location on the page and click the + Add module button that appears.

  3. Click Requests in the left-hand menu.

Edit the title

Simply click the module’s title to start writing and formatting. You can use text variables to make the text dynamic, for example to display the user’s first name.

Edit the settings

  1. Select the module to see its menu, which appears on its right-hand side.

  2. Click the Cogwheel.

Choose whether the request type descriptions are always visible, or only as a tooltip (when the user hovers over the request type).

JSM Project ID

If you placed this module on a JSM project page, enter the text variable $projectid to show request types from that JSM project.

To show request types from another JSM project, specify its JSM Project ID. You can only use JSM projects that are added to your site in the Site Builder.

Separate multiple JSM project IDs with a comma.

Portal Group ID

Leave this field empty to show all Portal Groups in this particular JSM project.

To show only content from one or more specific groups, add their Portal Group IDs. Separate multiple IDs with commas.

Find IDs

To find a JSM project ID:

  1. Go to your JSM project.

  2. In the left-hand menu, click Channels > Help Center.

  3. The ID is the last number of the URL. For example, when the URL ends with customer/portal/32, the ID is 32.

If you are not sure in which Portal Group your Request Type is located, go to your Service Project > Project Settings > the Portal Groups tab.

Once you know which Portal Group’s ID you need:

  1. Go to your JSM project.

  2. In the left-hand menu, click Channels > Help Center.

  3. Click on a Portal Group.

  4. The ID is the last number of the URL. For example, when a Portal Group’s URL ends with customer/portal/32/group/56, the ID is 56.
