Help desk technicians can create a new help ticket when a user reports a resource item needing repair or maintenance.

  1. Select Admin > Help Tickets > Track sub-tab.
  2. Click New Ticket.
  3. To identify the resource item, click Select. The Find Resource page appears.
  4. If you have physical possession of the item, select the Item submitted for repair checkbox.
  5. Select the applicable Priority and Status from the drop-downs.
