Creating New Request

Any incident, request for service or request for information can be sent as requests to the supportdesk team in many different ways. Some of the most common modes are,

1. You can call the helpdesk reporting their problem or requirement and he in turn will file it as a request.

2. You can submit your query by logging into the customer portal and filing a request.

3. Or, you can send an Email to the support team, which will automatically get logged as a service request in SupportCenter Plus.
