Overview
This article will guide you on how to contact the Silverband Help Desk and Service Team, create a Help Desk ticket, report issues and outages, place requests and updates, and communicate with the Help Desk Team using Slack (instant message service).
Assumptions
NOTE
Each institution will normally have one or two people, key people with whom Silverband will communicate with. These key people are your Authorised Paradigm Contact(s). These contacts are the institution assigned people with who Silverband will accept tickets, requests and communication with and from. If communication is received from other users, Silverband will refer these issues to the Authorised Contact from your institution, and the issue may not be acted on.
