Setting up workflow
Just like with fields, you can also control how workflow statuses are displayed in JIRA Service Desk. Note that you cannot actually change the actual workflow, but you can make the workflow less confusing to your customers so they know exactly how their requests are progressing.
To set up the workflow for a request type, perform the following steps:
- Browse to the project administration page for the service desk you want to set up a workflow for.
- Select the Request Types option from the left panel.
- Click on the Edit fields link for the request type you want to set up a workflow for.
- Select the Workflow Status tab. This will list all the workflow statuses that are available in the workflow, as shown in the following screenshot:
As we can see in the preceding screenshot, the actual JIRA workflow status names are listed in the left column. For each of the statuses, you can choose to give it a different display name that will be shown to the customers.
