Accessing and Managing Tickets via Web Portal

Once registered on the portal, you can log in with your credentials to create new tickets and manage existing ones. You can check progress, add updates, change ticket status, add comments, and upload attachments.


 

Portal Login Page

From the login page, you can create new tickets, check the progress of current tickets, and add updates or attachments.

In the client portal it is possible to create new tickets and manage existing tickets.

 

How to use our Service Desk App

For quick access (Managed Customers Only), you can use the system tray app. This allows you to create tickets directly from your device without opening the full client portal.

Creating Tickets via Workstation App

To begin creating a ticket, open our workstation app on your device.

Windows: Look in the bottom-right system tray.

Mac: Look in the top-right menu bar.

Follow these steps to complete your ticket creation:

  • Step 1: Open the workstation app and select Request Support.
  • Step 2: Fill out the necessary information, including the issue description, priority level, and any relevant attachments.
  • Step 3: Review the information and ensure all details are accurate.
  • Step 4: Click Submit to create your ticket.

Please note: Urgent should only be used if the issue is severely affecting your ability to carry out your business role.

Once submitted, your ticket will be recorded in the system and assigned a unique ticket number for tracking and reference. That’s all you need to do — our team will then be in touch to assist you.

Additional Features

Our workstation app and web portal offer several features to enhance your ticketing experience:

Tasks – user-based fixes:

  • Disk Clean Up – removes temporary files (including temp internet files) and can empty your Recycling Bin. This process can take 1–15 minutes.
  • Clear Printer Spooler – clears stuck print jobs and restarts the service. Allow 1–2 minutes to complete.

We hope this guide helps you navigate the ticket creation and management process with ease.
Should you have any questions or need further assistance, our support team is always ready to help.

Thank you for choosing Tomlinson Solutions.
