  4. In the Describe the problem field, type a brief description of your issue. (you will use the Comment section for more details)
  5. In the Device field, click on the down arrow, then type the asset tag number of the machine you’re referring to. It’s a 5 digit number that is usually written on the side of all desktops and laptops. If your device is not listed, please choose unassigned, then type your asset tag number in the Comment section.

———————————-  FAQ’s —————————————————–

Q1. Why the change?
A1.  We’ve allowed staff at Valley High School to enter their own tickets for the last two years and it has worked out really well.  We’re feeling that it’s time to make the change to allow all staff to do the same.

Q2. Can staff still ask building tech/ITAC members for assistance
A2.  Yes, certainly…  you can still ask them for help, but they are also welcome to enter the ticket directly.

Q3. Where do I go to enter the helpdesk request?
A3.  Use this web site  http://helpdesk  , which is only available at school.

Q4. What username/password do I use to log in?
A4. Use your existing network username/password (same thing they use to log into their computer)

Q5. If I enter the helpdesk ticket – do I get email updates to let me know the progress?
A5.  Yes!  This is one of the best reasons to enter the request yourself – so that you get the updates and are informed as to what’s happening.
