Submit a New Ticket
As a System Administrator, you will be able to submit service tickets on behalf of your firm. Only designated service contacts can submit tickets. Below are the steps to submit a ticket and best practices for ticket submission.
- Sign in to your service portal

Best Practices for Submitting Service Tickets

Determining Priority
Our Support Department uses the following guidelines when determining the priority of an issue. Refer to this reference chart when setting the priority of a new ticket:
Define the Scope of the Problem
In the body of your message, include a detailed description of the question or issue. Please only enter one question or issue per ticket. This will facilitate streamlined tracking of questions and responses.
Within the ticket message, include as much information as possible about the question or issue. Please include:
- What issue are you having
- Where on the site the issue is happening
- When or how frequently does the issue occur
- Who does the issue affect (one user or more multiple users)
