We will cover core Portal and ticket type configuration to achieve this.</p><p><br></p><p>As the desired outcome is to allow end-users to log Service Requests, we must first ensure the configuration of our Service Request is appropriately set. We will first want to ensure end-users can in fact log service requests:</p><p><img src="https://halo.haloservicedesk.com/api/attachment/image?token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpZCI6ImY3MjEyZDdjLWM5Y2ItNDM0Zi1iMDFiLWMyYjczMmNiMjNiMCJ9.5Ke4fwu9y-JcthH4i-0JcPnR6QSrulZ5kJuv5dz5_KU" class="fr-fic fr-fil fr-dib" width="642" height="754"></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Fig 1.
