A closer view into submitting a Help Request/ Incident Report:

1. The first two fields to complete are the Summary and Priority.

2. Verify your contact information. 

3. The ticket type is needed; a task is a problem, a new process is to request something new, others are self explanatory. Select the appropriate Category and Level. The level lists change as different categories are selected. 

4. Please be as descriptive with your problem as possible. The more information you include, the quicker the problem will be solved.

The little box in the lower right-hand corner that has ABC written on it is for the spell checker.
