You’ll notice in this example the Ticket count is zero but there is a ticket in the recent support tickets. This is because the ticket count only reflects open tickets currently in progress.
To open a new ticket simply click “Open Ticket” in the menu bar.

Next you’ll want to fill out the ticket. Include as much information as possible. If you experienced any sort of error provide the error or a screenshot of the error along with the time the error occurred (with timezone specified).
There are 3 priorities.
- Low – For general inquiries
- Medium – Service impacting but no outage of web or email services
- Web or Email service outage only
Please note that depending on ticket volume we may choose to lower the priority of a ticket if it does not meet urgency requirements.
