Facilities, HR ticketing upgrade

This notice appeared in the Weekly Phoenix between February 11, 2019 and February 17, 2019.

At 11 a.m., Wednesday, Feb. 13, we’re upgrading the Human Resources ticketing systemFacility and Safety Services follows on Monday, Feb. 18You don’t need to do anything differently. Read on for details or contact the Helpdesk with questions. 

What’s happening? At 11 a.m., Wednesday, Feb. 13, we’re upgrading the Human Resources ticketing system[1]. Facility and Safety Services makes the same change at 11 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 18. The Helpdesk and Enterprise Systems upgraded last week. 

What do I need to do differently? Not a thing. Continue to email and call us as you’re accustomed. And continue to expect quick, thorough, friendly service. 

What will I notice? You’ll see improvements in the emails you receive from these departments: we’ve moved the details you care about to the top and removed unnecessary fluff. We’ve also reduced the number of emails you receive—less noise, more help. Each email includes a link to the new customer portal: you can review tickets you’ve submitted, read and add comments, and track status. We’ve also improved handling of duplicate requests, tickets with multiple requesters, and the ticket-close survey. 

What’s coming next? We’re working to add self-help content to the customer portal—the fastest response you’ll get is to the question you didn’t have to ask. 

As always, if you have questions about this or any other Technology Services project, please contact the Helpdesk: helpdesk@floridapoly.edu or 863-874-8888. If you have questions related to Human Resources, please contact them at hr@floridapoly.edu or 863-874-8425. For Facility and Safety Services questions, please email facilities@floridapoly.edu or call 863-874-8691. 

[1] For the curious, we’re upgrading from Cherwell Service Management to Atlassian JIRA Service Desk[2]. We think JIRA Service Desk is a better fit for our needs.
