Service Desk Requests (commonly referred to as 'tickets') can be created 3 ways. They can be created via:
 
* Cumulus
 
* the End User Portal
 
* email
 
 
 
To create tickets via email, the service provider requires the [[Service_Desk/Mailbox_Configuration|Service Desk Mailbox]] extension. Once enabled and configured, customers can email the designated email address for the mailbox and tickets will be created accordingly.
 
 
 
This article covers ticket creation from Cumulus and the End User Portal.
 
 
 
= Creating Tickets Via Cumulus =
 
Before a ticket can be created, the user needs to know which customer the ticket is for. The [[Account_Management/Customer_Screen/Quick_Search|quick search]] is useful for this. Once the customer is found:
 
 
 
Nav: '''Customer > Service Desk''' tab.
 
 
 
Users will be presented with a list of tickets that have been created for the customer.

To create a new service desk request, click the '''Create Ticket for Customer''' button. The user will be presented with the ''New Service Request'' form.
