Finally, click Create (Erstellen).

 

Manage existing tickets

Log into the customer portal and click on "Request (Anfragen)" at the top right and select "My Requests (Meine Anfragen)". All tickets are listed here. You can use the filter options above to filter the tickets accordingly or search for content on the far right.

In the Status column you can see where your ticket is currently. 

For tickets with the status "Waiting for customer (Wartet auf Kunden)", we are waiting for your feedback.

As an example we open the ticket "HD-18778 - Testticket".

 

There are three important areas here:

  • (1) Activity: The history of the ticket can be seen under activity in descending order.

  • (2) Comment: You can comment on the ticket here.

  • (3) Status: via Done (Erledigen) (ticket is done, everything ok) or Cancel (Abbrechen) (has been superfluous, do not undertake any further activities) you can complete the ticket yourself.

 

 You can still create new tickets via email at helpdesk@egeli-informatik.ch or reply to incoming email messages to enter comments.

Important instructions

  • The customer portal is a live system. Everything that is changed on tickets is immediately visible to everyone involved.

  • E-mails can be sent with a delay of up to 15 minutes. It can happen that a ticket undergoes several changes within 15 minutes. These are then sent together in one email.

  • If a ticket has the status "Wartet auf Kunde (Waiting for customer)" for 1 week, you will receive a reminder email. After a further week, the ticket will be switched to inactive. After another week, the ticket will be automatically closed. If you still have an input, a new ticket must be created.

Looking for labels? They can now be found in the details panel on the floating action bar.
