Is that the actor from Road Trip?

Reduced to riding public transport, it would appear.

This has to be the most insane process to get help desk tickets created.
You know, I don't miss reading the Spiceworks community. Thank you for reminding why I don't miss it.

@Grey You're welcome.
There is only so much that I can take as well.

I like it when you cross post this stuff, means I can get a chuckle without having to wade through.

@travisdh1 You're welcome.
And that guy is completely insane. He wants his teachers to call the receptionist who then has to decipher what is wrong from the user who apparently can't explain it in writing.
Then the receptionist has to determine how to explain it in writing to the help desk, who then replies to the user directly!
WTF. . .

If you're a "good sized school" you should have dedicated helpdesk people. This seems like it would be a good task to move to the helpdesk and let the office manager actually do their job.

Yeah, sounds way to much like a telephone game when a portal could deal with it all quite easily.

And while I agree, a proper help desk should already be able to collect this information. Which the portal can do, if it's built appropriately.

Eh, the users need training no argument there, but even with the best designed portal you're going to get those calls where an actual tech has to decipher what the user is trying to say.

haha... David moderated a few of my posts on that topic. . .
I thought the comments were extremely accurate and well suited for the topic. . .

I've worked a Spiceworks helpdesk where all the pertinent fields were required, and we still got crap helpdesk tickets... It would take 5 or 6 back and forth replies to get enough info out of folks to actually start working on their tickets.
