Ahmed, Thanks. I did open a ticket with the Service Desk yesterday. The tech at that time said exactly what I posted, requests submitted as a phone contact will not appear in uss. And I just got a nice private reply from Leo Sell, and he says the same thing. Leo also re-forwarded me the message we got about this on 11 Aug. Apparently, I was supposed to click on a link to take some training, but if I clicked on every link for training that I get here then I would never get any work done. So I tend to wait until I bump into a roadblock that makes it relevant to me, and go from there. Thanks to starting this thread, I got the training link, so I guess I should explore this first. I still think it weird that the "unified" system is not really unified. And I will continue to ignore uss so that I can deal with all my tickets in one place. -- dkm On 2016-09-02 12:22 PM, Issawi, Ahmed wrote: > Hello David, > > Uss.itservicedesk.msu.edu and itservicedesk.msu.edu feed off of the > same ticketing system.
