3. Login to dashboard
Once logged in you will see your dashboard.
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.
4. Enter Ticket Information
Next select the type of ticket you’d like to open.
- Sales related
- Technical support
- Billing/account related
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.
When complete simply hit the Submit button and our staff will be notified immediately.
