Tips for efficient help desk usage

Following these suggestions will help us respond to your requests in a timely manner

  1. Submit tickets using the online form to ensure your ticket priority and subject routes the ticket to the right place
    • Urgent tickets are more accurately identified if you pre-select the priority
  2. Submit a single ticket per issue  and add any new information to an existing ticket
    • Additional tickets may be assigned to different support reps and therefore the background from the original ticket will be lost, potentially increasing the time to resolve an issue
  3. Submit a new ticket for different issues
    • Tickets are closed based on the original issue being resolved
    • New issues may get lost or mistakenly considered resolved
    • New issues may need a different level of priority 
  4. Provide sufficient time for service requests such as customizations and development work to be completed
    • Custom development work such as report cards or custom exports can take time to schedule and resources may not be available on demand
  5. Submit tickets to the helpdesk instead of directly to or CC’ing Edsby staff 
    • Staff copied on support tickets may assume it’s being handled by support
    • Staff may be traveling or not in the office and your message may be missed
  6. Escalate tickets via a direct email to your Edsby Customer Success Manager
    • In emergency situations, email your ticket number to your Edsby Customer Success Manager for escalation
