Viewing and Communicating on Cases

Case Search

The Support Portal provides Technical and Authorized Support Contacts access to view and post comments on all cases for their district. A list of all cases is presented by default when selecting Cases > View Cases from the dropdown list. Cases are sorted by last modified date and columns can be toggled to quickly sort by status, modified date, module, etc.

Displayed cases may be refined by clicking on the funnel icon to display filters. Using multiple filters will narrow the results, only returning entries that meet the requirements of each entered field. For example, searching for "Grade Book issues" (Subject) created by a selected contact will only return cases matching both of those instances, while only entering "Grade Book issues" in the Subject field will return issues entered by all users.

When available, use the dropdowns to further refine your search. For example, Subject may be filtered using Equals, Not equals, Starts with, Ends with, Contains, and Does not contain.

All Support contacts (Authorized, Technical, and Implementation) who have access to modify cases can see this tool and be added or removed as a recipient. Read-Only contacts can also see this tool but they can only add or remove themselves as a recipient.
