Creating / Viewing a Service Request

During the process of creating a service request, you can select a preferred response method of Chat, Email or Callback. Upon submission of your service request, you have the option to launch the chat client and initiate a session with the appropriate product support team or technical support engineer. The chat session will begin once the request is received by the technical support engineer. Depending on the nature of the problem, the support engineer will have the ability to troubleshoot your issue after being granted the right level of access. The technical support CHAT session includes many features, such as providing the engineer with the ability to gather diagnostic information from your site, share your desktop, view the your desktop and/or take remote control of your desktop and systems.

If you have already opened a service request, you may initiate a chat session with your engineer if he/she is available, or you may contact the next available representative.
