Recommended Issue Types and Subtypes

Good Morning!

The company I work for has finally decided to invest in a professional service desk system after years of me touting it's value.  I have taken ownership of this project and wanted to hear from peers in other companies as to how they use their systems.

The software I am using classifies issues using types and subtypes.So for example, I have:

Issue Type: Email System

Issue Subtypes:
Outlook Client
Proofpoint On Demand
Proofpoint Archiving

Am I spot on in how I am building this?  Anyone have any recommendations or pitfalls to avoid?  I would like to start this out right rather than have to redo this in a few months.

Thanks in advance for any replies!  Stay safe!

The software I am using classifies issues using types and subtypes.So for example, I have:

Who classifies the issue?
(a) the user when opening the ticket
(b) the helpdesk personnel when assigning the ticket
(c) a mixture of a and b
(d) other

There really is no one size fits all
This site is a help desk system of sorts that classifies tickets (questions)
