Created by Lisa Ordell, Modified on Sun, 15 Mar at 11:46 PM by Joel Sandi

Objective

Learn how to open a ticket online for help from Outreach Support through our Support Portal help request system, easily accessible to every seated user in Outreach.

The Outreach Support Portal is designed to provide Outreach Users and Admins with information and direction on common and advanced Outreach functions, as well as troubleshooting and resolving technical issues. However, if the information you find doesn't address your need, Outreach Support is here to help.

*** IMPORTANT *** Please do not include any non-essential personal identifying information (PII), or any protected health information (PHI) in any communications you send to us. Although data in the system is encrypted, it is not intended to store or process any PII or PHI information. Please keep in mind that information shared within these tickets is triaged and routed to the appropriate parties. There is a possibility that information you include in a ticket may be read by parties in addition to the person to whom it is addressed.
