Whenever possible staff members should report their problems or
questions to their department's PC Liaison before reporting it to
the Virtual Help Desk. If the PC Liaison is not available or can not
answer the question, the staff member should then contact the Virtual
Help Desk.
All staff are expected to familiarize themselves with relevant online
help, computer-based training resources, and documentation for all
software and hardware used to perform their job functions.
Staff members should gather relevant and helpful information prior
to contacting the Virtual Help Desk. This will help staff describe
their problem, and help the Virtual Help Desk staff member diagnose
the problem more quickly.Relevant and helpful information includes:
the
name of the software you are using
a
description of the problem
the
exact wording of any error messages
a
description of what you were doing at the time the problem occurred.
