How to view the full details of any service desk request, view a list of all requests you have submitted, and follow up on any open requests

  1. Each time an update is made to a service desk request, the Reporter (the person who submitted the request) is sent an email with the latest information. The email includes a link to the full details of the request in chronological order.
  2. Click on the link to view all the details of your request. It can look like either of the examples shown below: a View request link or a reference number link.

Helpful Tips

Using your email account to reply to any message generated by Jira Service Management also adds to the history of the request and is included in the request view for you and the Registrar team.

Once a ticket has been closed, it's best to create a new ticket if there is another issue with which you need assistance. Please do not add a comment to a closed ticket, especially one from a semester ago or more.

Notification is sent via email to all participants of all updates to a request. This means that when you reply to registrar@valpo.edu about a request, everyone who is listed as the reporter, a participant, or the Registrar assignee will be notified.
