Using the portal

The portal is your window into support. No training needed — this page covers everything you will do there.

Open the portal address your organization gave you, and sign in with your work account — the same Microsoft or Google account as usual if your company enabled single sign-on, or your email and password.

Type your question in the knowledge base search — a good article now beats a ticket answered tomorrow. Search understands everyday words: “can’t print” finds the printer articles.

  1. Choose New request.
  2. If your organization uses a service catalog, pick the closest item — it asks exactly the questions the team needs, which saves a round-trip.
  3. Otherwise, describe the issue: a clear title, what happened, what you expected, and when it started.
  4. Attach screenshots or files — a picture of the error message saves a day of back-and-forth.
  5. Send it.

Result: your request has a number, appears under My requests, and the team is notified. You receive a confirmation email; replying to that email adds to the same request.

My requests lists everything you have opened, with live statuses:

  • In progress — the team is on it.
  • Waiting for you — the team needs something from you: answer from the portal or just reply to the notification email; both land in the same conversation.
  • Resolved — the fix is in; say so if it is not, and the conversation continues.

Open any request to read the full history and add a reply or a file at any time.

The bell shows updates on your requests; the same updates arrive by email. Tune what you receive in Settings → Notifications.

Settings → Profile carries your name, avatar and language — set the language once and both the interface and support emails follow it.
