Help Desk Ticket Guidelines Job Please follow these guidelines to ensure that help desk tickets are addressed in timely and efficient manner. Please put in a help desk ticket before you call or email anyone on the team for help. Include as much information on the ticket as possible, such as: o resident name o unit, t-code o full description of issue o full description of any error messages o For any login issues, please include your User ID and the system that you are locked out of Attachment Guidelines o Double check to make sure the attachment was sent o Include notes on the ticket in case the attachment is removed o Make sure all hand-written notes are legible o Make sure attachments are upright, legible, and in portrait view Do not enter duplicate tickets. This will cause your ticket to be delayed, creates double work, and clogs up the help desk. You can check the status of your ticket at any time by logging into the help desk. Check the Notes section for any updates and/or requests. You should be receiving notification emails from help desk. If you are not receiving emails from the help desk, contact ION247 directly to have your notifications reset. Do not respond to the emails received from the help desk. Instead login to the help desk and add a note to the previously submitted help desk ticket. If the issue is resolved before a response from the help desk is received, close the help desk ticket.
