Setting up JIRA for helpdesk/support tickets
Companies that have software products and applications used by various customers or clients usually need a system where their users can raise complaints, suggestions, and feedback. There are various dedicated open source and proprietary tools for this activity, but JIRA can be easily customized to act like a helpdesk or a support ticketing system.
