Ticketing Tab

The Ticketing Tab manages service requests from VSA users. These service requests, and your response to them, are documented using tickets.

The ticketing system automatically sends email alerts to designated administrators and users for such system events as ticket creation, changes, or resolutions. The system organizes tickets by machine ID or group ID. You may wish to create extra machine ID accounts or group IDs to hold tickets of a global nature, such as general network problems.
