How do I create a ticket as an incident, request, or inquiry?

I am new to FreshService software. I am trying out a 14-day demo to present to my IT manager so they can see the importance of a ticketing system, but when I was initially setting it up, I found that when an agent creates a ticket, it is created directly as an incident. In other solutions I have used, I could create it as an incident, request, or inquiry.
I tried to edit the type from the administration console, but it won't let me activate the request option. 
I would like to have these three options—incident, request, or query—because at the end of the month, I have to provide a detailed report on the types of cases that users call about most often.

By default, “IT” Fresh has two ticket types, Incident and requst, and you can switch them on the same ticket (Broadly). 

 

Other ticket types come into play with “workspaces” when you enable a workspace those “tickets” can be query, request, etc. But Workspace’s tickets are seperate from IT. 

 

Ping me if you want a proper explanation of Freshservice.
