Creating a filter subscription in Jira Service Management

A subscription to a filter allows a user to set a specific notification frequency for tickets that meet the filter's criteria.

If a filter does not exist to find tickets matching the desired criteria, a filter will need to be created before the filter can be subscribed to.
