Service Desk Tutorial

Service Desk Tutorial

Our new Service Desk in collaboration with Teledyne CARIS, enables you to interact with service advisors online, track support requests, and access information on closed requests. This page aims to help new and existing users get started with the Customer Service Desk.

Introduction

This tutorial is meant to serve as a basic guide for our customers on how to efficiently use the Teledyne OPTECH Service Desk.


Objective

Teledyne Optech Customer Services is rolling out their new Service Desk with a mandate to allow user control over and insight into their ongoing Support Requests with us by enabling the following actions:

  • submit, review, update, and close their own, and their company's Support Requests online at any time;
  • communicate interactively with our Customer Service Advisors (CSAs) via the Service Desk by means of commenting online as well as subsequent system-generated e-mails; and
  • access all information (e.g., files, communications, etc.) related to their support requests in one central location.
