TSS Standards & Procedures

TSS Help Requests

All help requests should be submitted via the TSS Help Request page (part of the myIT service request system).

This ensures that:

• Someone at TSS will receive the request without the customer having to guess which particular staff member is available and has the knowledge to address their issue,
• The name, contact information, and location of the person submitting the request will be available to all TSS staff,
• UFIT can centrally collect all requests to help identify problems that several people are having,
• The request can be granted priority according to the type of work and when it was received.  For more information, please see the Ticket Prioritization page, and finally
• Both TSS and the person needing help have a record of the request.
