Request status reference

Review statuses, priorities, and categories for reported bugs, features, and improvements.

Requests shows product feedback and progress for your organization. This screen is read-only. The list updates in real time when progress changes.

Business value

Request status gives organizations one view of product feedback progress. Operators can focus on customer impact and evidence instead of repeated status questions. Separate status, priority, and category prevent confusion between urgent failures and long-term improvements.

Operating goalRequest status roleMeasure
Share progressProvide a read-only current status for each request.Status questions and old Triage requests
Collect impact evidenceShow priority and recurrence together.Recurrences and affected operating journeys
Reduce duplicatesAdd evidence to an existing request title.Duplicate requests and requests with new evidence

Examples

Example: A reservation save failure. Several branches reproduce the same condition. Each branch sends the event time, expected result, and reproduction steps for the existing request. The operator can compare recurrence and customer impact.

Example: A new statistics view. The request does not block current work. The administrator describes the decision, required measures, and expected frequency. The status still shows the review stage when priority is low.

Statuses

StatusMeaning
TriageThe team is assessing impact and ownership.
BacklogReview is complete, and the request awaits scheduling.
UnstartedThe work is defined but has not started.
StartedThe assigned team is working on the request.
CompletedThe defined work is complete.
CanceledThe work will not continue in its current scope.

Completed does not always mean that every suggested idea was built. Review the request title, description, and latest status together.

Priorities

PriorityMeaning
No priorityThe team has not set a comparative priority.
UrgentA severe impact needs immediate review.
HighMany customers or a critical journey have major impact.
MediumA clear impact will follow planned scheduling.
LowLimited impact places the request behind other work.

Request volume does not determine priority by itself. The team also reviews customer impact, recovery options, frequency, and current plans.

Categories

A request can show Bug, Recurrence, Feature, Improvement, or Plan categories. Several categories can appear on one request. Categories support search and grouping. They do not replace status or a delivery commitment.

New requests and added information

For a new request, prepare the event time, organization, expected result, actual result, and reproduction steps. Remove customer personal data and secrets. Attach only the required screen area.

For more evidence, send the same request title through your customer support channel. Do not create a duplicate request. When the list differs from guidance, send the guidance time and screen to support. You cannot edit a request title or status on this screen.
