Tracking Your Support Requests

End-users can use the Help Center to track their support requests.

To track your support requests:

1. Click your profile icon on the upper-right side of any page, and then click My activities.

   

   By default, the page displays all requests that you have submitted. An open request is a ticket that's been assigned to an agent who is working to resolve it. A request awaiting your reply is a ticket that's been assigned to an agent, but the agent is waiting for more information from you before resolving the ticket.

   

2. To see a filtered view of all your requests, enter a search term in the Filter Requests box or select a request status from the Status menu.
3. To see details about a request, click the request title.
