Accessing your Account
We are excited to offer our service portal for easy access to your Support Team and references to help you get the most out of your CRM. Your Support Team will initiate your first access to the service portal. We provide the URL to the service site and a username. The Username/Email we will set you up with is your corporate email address. You will select a password.
When entering for the first time, use the login details provided to you by Salentica. If you have not received these credentials, please contact your System Administrator.
Please be assured that your account is secure, with a high level of encryption, protecting your login credentials and service tickets.
Submit a New Ticket
As a System Administrator, you will be able to submit service tickets on behalf of your firm. Only designated service contacts can submit tickets. Below are the step to submit a ticket and best practices for ticket submission.
- Sign in to your service portal
- Click New Ticket
- Fill in the Required fields
- Required: Category - Select the category of the ticket.
Required: Priority - Select the priority of the ticket. Required: Sub-category - Select the sub-category of the ticket. Based on the initial category selected, you must complete the related fields. Required: Subject – Enter a Subject for the ticket. The subject will be available on your ticket views, so we suggest you use a meaningful description that can be referenced in the future. For example, the subject of ‘Support Ticket’ will not be useful later, but a more descriptive subject like Update Relationship Field on Accounts page will be easier to reference later. Using the Subject field, the service sites will suggest Knowledge Base articles that are associated with the keywords in your subject. A list of related articles will be presented based on the keywords used in the subject.
Required: Message – Enter the details of the ticket. Add as detailed a description of the issue as possible in the message body, as this will be the information your Support Team will use to assist you with your request. Reference the Best Practices below to help you fill out the ticket.
- Click Submit to add this service ticket.
- Once submitted, you will see the new ticket in your account/portal.
Best Practices for Submitting Service Tickets
To ensure Salentica’s Support Team responds to and resolves, your service tickets quickly and efficiently, we provide the following recommendations for your ticket submissions:
Determining Priority
Our Support Department uses the following guidelines when determining the priority of an issue. Refer to this reference chart when setting the priority of a new ticket:
Define the Scope of the Problem
In the body of your message, include a detailed description of the question or issue. Please only enter one question or issue per ticket. This will facilitate streamlined tracking of questions and responses.
Within the ticket message, include as much information as possible about the question or issue. Please include:
- What issue are you having
- Where on the site the issue is happening
- When or how frequently does the issue occur
- Who does the issue affect (one user or more multiple users)
Detailed Steps to Reproduce
