Bring Back the “Service Request Configuration” Section from the Old Administration Work Center

I would like to suggest bringing back the Service Request Configuration section from the old Administration Work Center. This functionality made it very easy to configure Categories, Subcategories, and Issues, including adding images to improve the user experience when creating Service Requests.

This would be especially valuable today for Maximo Mobile, where a simple and intuitive request submission process is very important for end users.

Currently, the same setup must be done through the Classifications application, which is much more complex and time-consuming. In addition, some useful capabilities from the old Service Request Configuration section are missing, such as the ability to define follow-up questions during request creation.

Reintroducing this feature would simplify administration, improve usability, and make Service Request setup faster and more efficient.
