Best Practices
- ID# (Client, Contract, etc.) field - Provide a unique way of identifying the client/case/contract without providing personal identifying information such as full name, SSN, DOB, etc.
- Name - use the first three letters of the last and first name, like so: las_fir
- SSN - use the last four numbers of the SSN, like so: 1234
- Provide the WIOA ID #
- Provide the Client # from the system, if available. It's often in Data Tree of your client list or in the Search Results of the Client Validation Dialog.
- Provide as much detail as possible. For example the form title, the field or fields in question, any messages presented by the system.
- Please avoid Agency commonly used form/field abbreviations; spell everything out exactly as it's displayed in the system.
Checking Ticket Status
Check on the status of your tickets via the Check Ticket Status link on the Home screen.
Check Ticket Status link circled in the Home screen.
Selecting the link opens your ticket list. It displays tickets you created and tickets you have access to for your Agency. By default tickets in Open or Pending status are displayed, sorted by Date Created. The tickets you have access to is dependent upon your access level in the portal.
You can change the status filter, the sort order, and which tickets to view based on who created them. You can also export the ticket list.

Ticket Id, Agent and Call Reason come from the Customer Success Analyst assigned to your ticket. Last Updated Time is just that - the last date/time the ticket was updated. The rest comes from the data you, or your staff, entered in the ticket.
