All requests for assistance are tracked to help LTS learn about our users' needs, and to help us improve performance, reliability and relevance of LTS systems and services. Requests are received first by the HelpDesk team, and escalated to Consultants or system administrators as needed. If your request is referred to a Consultant, you'll need to work with them to make an appointment to meet (in-person or virtual) and discuss or work on the issue. When communicating your needs, it's important to be as specific as possible about exactly what machine or system you're having trouble with.
