service request

Ask for assistance

A service request is a formal ask for something to be done—typically submitted through an established system or process.

In IT and customer service contexts, it's a ticket or form documenting what someone needs: I submitted a service request to get my laptop replaced.

The term implies bureaucratic channels rather than casual asks, distinguishing it from simply asking a coworker for help.
