On the header, select "New Support Ticket" to open the New Ticket Screen

Step 3 - Populate a Subject

The request subject should convey to the Helpdesk Agent a clear and brief understanding of what the request is about.


A Good Subject:

POS Sales Receipt Footer is incorrect in Store S0001


A Bad Subject:

"FW: RECEIPT"


Step 4 - Choose a Request Type

The request Type is used to drive which Helpdesk category and agent first reviews your request so it is incredibly important.


Type
Purpose
Question
Request quick info (how-to) about a simple topic or functionality. It may be changed to "Consulting Request" at the agent's sole discretion
Incident
Report a single unplanned event causing service disruption
Problem
Report a more spread-out series of incidents affecting multiple users
Task
Request a simple task to be performed by the agent. It may be changed to a "Consulting Request" or "Change Request" at the agent's sole discretion
Change Request

Request a change in the functionality or business logic of the software. This activity may require requirements gathering, analysis, design, development, configuration, documentation, Q&A and deployment of new functionality for the supported software. This requires a separate "Customization Request" engagement document (CU).

Consulting Request
Request advice, guidance, and recommendations to help improve specific processes or workflows and overcome challenges within LIMITED SCOPE. This may require a separate engagement work order document (WO)


Step 5 - Set a Severity Level

Severity Level applies only to the "Incident" or "Problem" request types. 

For the other types of requests, they are purely indicative of the requester's deemed priority of being responded to in relation to the other requests of the same type, and the SLA does not cover them.
