Well, Ahmed expertly guided me to the solution: Log in to https://uss.itservicedesk.msu.edu, click on the "My Requests" icon (the one on the left side that looks like a couple sheets of paper, underneath the house icon), then click on the link that says, "Don't see your request listed below? Try looking here". Then you get a screen with two tabs for open & closed requests that were submitted through the service desk. I suppose I should have figured this out on my own. The training video at https://go.msu.edu/uss-training also touches on this. In summary, requests submitted through itservicedesk.msu.edu can be tracked at both itservicedesk.msu.edu and uss.itservicedesk.msu.edu, but requests submitted through uss.itservicedesk.msu.edu can be tracked only through uss.itservicedesk.msu.edu. Thus, indeed, we should henceforth do everything through uss.itservicedesk.msu.edu. Thanks all, -- dkm On 2016-09-02 12:49 PM, David McFarlane wrote: > Ahmed, > > Thanks.
