To **build a request catalogue**, list what people can ask for and what each one requires. Most malformed requests come from not knowing what was available.

## What a catalogue prevents

The questions that precede a request.

- People asking whether something is possible before asking for it
- Requests for things that were never offered
- Different information supplied for the same request type
- Expectations set by whoever answered first

## What each entry should state

- **What it is**, in the requester's language
- **Who it is for**, where eligibility varies
- **What information is needed**, so it can be gathered first
- **Roughly how long it takes**, setting expectations
- **How to request it**, as a direct link

## How to set it up in Jestor

1. Create a catalogue table in **Jestor**, one record per request type.
2. State the required information and the typical timeframe on each entry.
3. Link each entry to the form that submits that request type.
4. Use the timeframe from your **SLA** data rather than an estimate.
5. Place the catalogue on the home page people land on.

## Why choose Jestor for request catalogues?

Because the timeframe can come from **SLA** data rather than from a guess, the expectations you set are the ones your process actually meets.

The catalogue is the same kind of build as any other table and app, so it costs no additional system to maintain.
