Recently, the Office of Information Technology (IT) migrated to a new call tracking platform named Web Help Desk. In addition to supporting the needs of IT technical staff with tracking your calls and emails, Web Help Desk allows individuals with a valid UM WebID to submit service requests through a web interface.
In addition to submitting service requests with Web Help Desk, you can also check the status of your request, update the request and search the FAQ Knowledge Base. When a service request is submitted using Web Help Desk, you will receive a confirmation email that includes the request details and ticket number.
