Note on Fields

These fields may be in a different order and may contain different options and names, depending on how the system is configured by the FootPrints administrator.

1. Enter a Title—This is the subject or summary of the request.  It should be brief, but descriptive.  For example, “Computer does not boot up” would be a good title.  “Help!!” would not be a good title because it does not give any indication of the problem.
2. Your Contact Information—This section holds your contact information.  If this is the first time you have submitted a Request, these fields may be blank.  Fill out the fields with your name, etc. (your email address or other unique key is pre-filled with the data you entered at login time).  If you are already in the Address Book, all of the fields are pre-filled. 
3. To update your Contact Information—If the option is available, you can update your contact information in this section.  You must also select the checkbox for Update your contact information.
   
3. Issue Information—These fields vary depending on how the system is configured.  For example, there may be a field called Platform, which is a drop-down box.  Select your platform from the list of choices.  There could also be a field called Version number with a text field next to it.  Type in the version number in this field.  Please consult your FootPrints administrator for more information on these fields.
