Section
I:
Getting
Started
The
Very
First
Thing
Every
day,
the
first
thing
that
you
will
do
is
check
in
with
the
Shift
Leader.
This
way
you
can
alert
the
current
Shift
Leader
that
you
are
at
work,
on
time,
and
ready.
The
Shift
Leader
will,
at
this
point,
assign
you
to
the
area
where
you
are
needed
at
the
moment.
During
this
training
session,
you
will
be
assigned
to
continue
work
on
your
training.
Tour
of
the
Help
Desk
and
its
Surroundings
The
best
way
to
get
started
working
here
is
to
find
out
where
everything
is.
Ask
the
Shift
Leader
for
a
tour
of
the
Help
Desk,
making
sure
to
cover
these
important
areas:
• The
Shift
Leader
station,
the
message
board,
and
the
ACD
(at
a
basic
level),
training
area,
phone
consulting
area,
reference
machines,
printers
and
copiers,
kitchenette.
• Offices,
mailboxes,
break/conference
room
• Onsite
Support
Services
(OSS)
• The
Information
Security
Office
(ISO)
• The
Student
Microcomputing
Facility
(SMF)
• Strategic
Communications
• The
Training
Room
(FAC
227)
• Accounting
• Software
Distribution
and
Sales
(SDS)
• Vice
President
for
Information
Technology
(VPIT)
Suite
• ITS
Human
Resources
• Men’s
and
women’s
restrooms
• The
Microcomputing
Facility
(MCF)
• The
Information
Desk
• The
ID
Center
• Walk‐in
Desk
• Drop
Off
Window
• The
Campus
Computer
Store
Getting
Set
Up
at
a
Workstation
After
checking
in
with
the
Shift
Leader
at
the
beginning
of
your
shift,
if
you
are
assigned
to
phones,
find
an
open
station
at
our
phone
bank
or
training
area.
Since
you
will
not
always
have
access
to
the
same
station
every
time
you
show
up
to
work,
you
have
a
roaming
profile
on
our
machines
so
that
your
documents
and
most
of
your
settings
will
follow
you
no
matter
where
you
log
in.
5
You
should
be
able
to
log
into
any
of
our
machines
using
your
UT
EID
and
your
EID
password.
If
you
cannot
do
so,
inform
the
Shift
Leader
ASAP.

primarily
student
employees.
Here's
what
the
job
can
do
for
you:
You

flexible
around
your

Section
III:
Duties
Overview
There
is
no
way
to
enumerate
everything
that
we
do
at
the
desk,
but
this
manual
will
cover
the
more
important
points.
You
will
be
able
to
absorb
the
wide
variety
of
things
we
do
if
you
use
the
following
training
method
each
and
every
time
you
face
a
question.
Suggested
Training
Method
1. First,
try
to
find
the
answer
yourself.
a. You
are
ideally
positioned
to
understand
what
our
customers
face.
b. You
are
facing
a
learning
opportunity
–
don’t
squander
it.
2. Once
you
formulate
your
answer,
check
with
the
Shift
Leader,
or
other
available
full‐time
staff.
If
you
think
that
logic
applies
in
our
world
you
are
mistaken
and
bound
to
find
yourself
in
a
jam
sooner
or
later.
3. Store
it
away:
bookmarks,
cheat
sheets,
email,
enter
it
into
the
Help
Desk
Wiki…
use
your
preferred
organization
methods
on
our
information.
In
general,
during
the
training
period
you
will
move
from
duties
that
are
simple
(in
complexity
and
variety),
slow
(in
time
needed
to
research),
and
separate
(insofar
as
you
won’t
be
face‐to‐face
with
a
customer)
toward
duties
that
are
involved,
instant,
and
interactive.
Other
Points
to
Remember
Always
maintain
a
professional
and
respectful
demeanor
and
environment
with
both
your
colleagues
and
our
customers.
Check
in
with
the
Shift
Leader
at
the
beginning
and
end
of
every
shift
and
scheduled
breaks,
and
any
time
you
need
to
leave
your
station.
Have
your
paper
copy
of
this
manual
with
you
during
your
training
period.
Weekly
Training
Tasks
By
the
end
of
your
last
shift
for
each
week,
you
must
submit
a
weekly
training
report
to
hd‐
staff@utlists.utexas.edu
and
include:
• What
you
did,
broken
down
by
day
• Any
parts
of
the
training
guide
you
have
completed
• If
you
worked
with
someone
(or
they
monitored
you),
who?
• Areas
you
encountered
where
you
feel
you
need
additional
training

IV:
Policies
and
Procedures
The
Organization
Chart
The
ITS
Org
Chart
can
be
found
at:
https://www.utexas.edu/its/staff/orgcharts/
Be
familiar
with
the
chain
of
command
and
the
key
players
within
our
organization,
such
as
the
Associate
VPs
for
ITS.
Other
members
of
the
ITS
community
CAN
AND
WILL
contact
us
on
a
regular
basis
for
various
reasons
and
you
will
be
responsible
for
knowing
who
they
are,
especially
at
the
higher
levels.
Furthermore,
knowing
your
direct
chain
of
command
is
important
in
case
you
have
any
questions
or
concerns
about
your
job
which
cannot
be
answered
by
your
supervisors
or
manager.
Attendance
and
Availability
Policies
The
specific
details
of
our
Attendance
and
Availability
Policies
can
be
found
at:
https://www.utexas.edu/its/staff/helpdesk/wiki/index.php/Attendance_Policy
The
Help
Desk
is
open
fifty
hours
a
week
(or
less
as
conditions
require).
We
will
work
to
ensure
that
you
are
not
scheduled
during
your
classes,
but
in
order
to
ensure
that
you
work
nineteen
hours
a
week,
all
non‐class
time
will
generally
be
considered
available
time.
It
is
your
responsibility
to
let
us
know
in
advance
of
exceptions
(specific,
one‐time
events
that
alter
your
availability
–
for
example,
an
outside‐of‐class
exam).
Failure
to
notify
us
in
advance
of
an
exception
will
result
in
a
violation
of
our
attendance
policies.
Please
review
these
policies
and
ensure
that
you
know
them
well.
As
an
inbound
support
center,
our
entire
job
process
depends
upon
our
staffing
levels.
Consultants
who
regularly
show
up
late
or
don’t
show
up
at
all
for
scheduled
shifts
adversely
affect
our
core
functions
(being
available
to
take
phone
calls,
etc.).
Such
consultants
will
be
subject
to
termination.
If
you
are
late
to
a
shift,
miss
a
shift,
work
overtime,
or
if
there
are
any
other
discrepancies
with
the
posted
schedule,
such
discrepancies
will
be
noted
in
the
Attendance
Ticket
Database
at
http://web.austin.utexas.edu/help
.
You
have
access
to
view
your
own
tickets
on
this
database,
but
please
note
that
this
page
currently
only
works
in
Internet
Explorer.
Checking
In
and
Out
with
the
Shift
Leader
At
the
beginning
of
your
shift,
you
must
check
in
with
the
shift
leader.
This
will
ensure
that
you
are
marked
as
“on
time”
for
your
shift
and
make
you
available
to
be
assigned
to
a
position.
Where
the
shift
leader
assigns
you
may
not
always
be
the
position
where
you
were
scheduled,
so
never
assume
that
you
know
where
you
need
to
be.
We
work
in
a
highly
dynamic
environment
and
our
staffing
needs
are
subject
to
change
at
a
moment’s
notice.
During
your
shift,
you
must
check
with
your
shift
leader
upon
requesting
a
break
and
upon
returning
from
a
break.
This
includes
bathroom
breaks,
smoking
breaks,
unscheduled
breaks,
and
scheduled
8
lunch
breaks.
If
a
supervisor
or
manager
comes
looking
for
you
and
your
whereabouts
cannot
be
accounted
for,
you
will
be
subject
to
disciplinary
action.
At
the
end
of
your
shift,
you
must
check
out
with
the
shift
leader.
This
will
ensure
that
you
are
properly
marked
for
the
time
you
spent
working
and
ensure
a
fair
and
accurate
timesheet
and
paycheck.
Timesheet
Policy
Part‐time
employees
must
submit
their
timesheets
twice
a
month.
Due
dates
for
timesheets
are
posted
on
the
Help
Desk
Staff
Pages
and
on
the
Schedules
page.
You
are
responsible
for
keeping
track
of
the
number
of
hours
you
work
and
submitting
your
timesheets
on
time.
Failure
to
submit
a
timesheet
on
time
will
result
in
your
salary
being
deferred
until
the
next
payment
period.
If
you
are
a
working
as
a
work‐study
employee,
please
submit
your
work‐study
timesheet
along
with
your
regular
timesheet.
Timesheet
procedures,
including
our
web‐based
timesheet
application,
can
be
found
at:
https://www.utexas.edu/its/staff/helpdesk/timesheet.php
Abusive
Customers
If
you
find
yourself
in
a
position
where
you
are
dealing
with
an
abusive
customer,
you
retain
the
right
to
refer
the
customer
to
your
supervisor.
The
customer
may
be
referred
to
the
Help
Desk
manager
as
appropriate.
If
the
customer
you
are
dealing
with
becomes
physically
abusive
or
issues
verbal
threats,
note
the
phone
number
they
are
calling
from
(if
on
a
phone
call),
note
the
IP
address
they
are
contacting
us
from
(if
on
a
chat),
and
notify
your
supervisor
immediately.
If
you
believe
that
your
personal
safety
is
threatened,
call
the
UT
Police
at
471‐4441.
Verifying
the
Identity
of
Customers
Our
procedures
for
verifying
a
customer’s
identity
can
be
found
at:
https://www.utexas.edu/its/staff/helpdesk/wiki/index.php/Verifying_identity
Verifying a customer’s identity is extremely important for a variety of reasons.
Our
services
are
only
available
to
members
of
the
University
community.
Verifying
a
customer’s
identity
will
help
you
in
determining
how
they
are
affiliated
with
The
University
and,
as
such,
what
services
they
are
eligible
for.
In
order
to
release
information
about
an
account
or
change
a
password
on
an
account,
we
need
to
ensure
that
the
individual
that
we
are
speaking
with
is
in
fact
authorized
to
obtain
such
information.
This
is
a
security
measure
which
helps
prevent
abuse
of
technology
resources.
Often
times,
accounts
will
include
confidential
information
such
as
banking
information
or
student
records
and
verifying
an
identity
prevents
such
information
from
falling
into
the
wrong
hands.
9
If
a
customer
is
going
to
leave
their
property
with
us
(generally,
leaving
a
machine
with
us
for
a
short
while
in
the
Walk‐In
Service)
we
need
to
verify
their
identity
when
they
check
the
machine
in
to
ensure
they
are
eligible
for
the
service
and
that
we
know
who
the
property
belongs
to.
Failure

Family
Educational
Rights
and
Privacy
Act
of
1974
(FERPA)
FERPA
is
a
federal
law
that
pertains
to
the
release
of
and
access
to
student
educational
records.
Information
on
FERPA
can
be
found
on
the
Registrar’s
web
site
at:
http://www.utexas.edu/student/registrar/ferpa/
Knowledge
of
FERPA
and
what
information
we
can
and
cannot
release
is
extremely
important.
We
also
happen
upon
students
whose
student
education
records
have
been
FERPA
suppressed.
Various
rules
and
policies
apply
in
these
situations.
For
example,
if
a
customer
has
their
records
FERPA
suppressed,
we
cannot
even
confirm
that
said
customer
is
a
student
at
The
University
or
not.
If
you
have
any
questions,
please
contact
your
supervisor,
the
Office
of
the
Registrar,
the
Office
of
Institutional
Compliance,
or
the
Vice
President
for
Student
Affairs
as
appropriate.

Section
VI:
How
to
Use
This
Training
Manual
This
manual
will
serve
as
a
guide
for
you
during
your
training,
helping
you
to
encounter
different
areas
and
tasks
in
a
logical
manner.
While
this
guide
will
introduce
you
to
the
various
topics
that
we
cover,
it
will
be
up
to
you
to
find
and
master
the
details.
Most
of
these
details
are
documented
in
our
Help
Desk
Wiki,
which
you
can
find
at:
https://www.utexas.edu/its/staff/helpdesk/wiki/
We
live,
however,
in
an
Information
Technology‐oriented
world
and
things
change
at
a
rapid
pace.
As
such,
this
manual
and
the
wiki
may
not
always
contain
the
most
recent
information
and
will
certainly
not
contain
all
of
the
information.
If
you
find
information
that
is
out
of
date,
use
it
as
an
opportunity
to
11
learn
the
important
skill
of
finding
the
most
recent
information
(search
tools
are
your
friend)
and
taking
the
initiative
to
update
our
documentation.
While
you
progress
through
this
manual,
you
will
pass
through
topics
which
will
progress
from
the
more
simple
topics
which
can
be
explored
in
a
more
self‐paced
environment
to
the
more
complex
topics
which
will
requires
hands‐on
assistance
from
your
mentor
or
topic
experts.
For
each
topic,
you
will
be
given
an
overview
of
the
topic
and
some
links
where
you
can
learn
more
about
the
topic.
In
order
to
ensure
your
understanding
of
the
topic,
you
will
also
be
provided
with
topic‐specific
training
tasks.
Your
training
should
in
no
way
be
limited
to
these
tasks,
and
exploration
is
highly
recommended,
but
you
should
also
be
careful
not
to
progress
to
a
new
section
until
you’ve
completed
all
of
the
training
tasks.
You
will
also
find
boxes
next
to
certain
items
or
sections
in
your
training
guide.
Once
you
feel
you
understand
the
information
corresponding
to
the
box,
you
will
check
off
the
box.
When
a
box
is
checked,
it
is
fair
game
for
review
by
a
shift
leader.
After
completing
several
groups
of
items,
ask
a
Shift
Leader
to
review
what
you’ve
done.

Tools
Access
and
Accounts
Overview
Help
Desk
Tools
In
order
to
do
your
job,
you
will
need
to
access
to
administrative
tools
for
several
of
the
services

by
ITS.
The
following
activity
will
verify
that
you
have
such
access.
If
you
can’t
complete
one
of
these
tasks,
continue
to
the
next
one
and
notify
your
training
supervisor
as
soon
as

This
mailing
list
(which
stands

Do
not
send
e‐mail
to
this

approval.
problems@its.utexas.edu
This
list
is
for
operations
staff
to
send
out
notices
to
a
wide
variety
of
people
about
problems
or
issues
with
ITS
provided
services.
Help
Desk
staff
should
never
send
to
it.
Instead,
you
will
notify
the
Shift

who
will
contact
Operations
per
the
Failure

Operations
will
then
send
e‐mail
to
this
list.
ittalk@utlists.utexas.edu
This
is
an
open
discussion
list
for
IT
employees
around
the
University.
You
are
automatically
subscribed
to
this
list
through
your
subscription
to
the
hd‐cons
mailing
list.
itupdates@utlists.utexas.edu
This
list
is
meant
for
notifying
the
entire
campus
of
IT
issues
that
affect
the
whole
campus,
such
as
major
system
updates.
Remedy
and
Tracking
Remedy,
which
can
be
accessed
via
the
BMC
Remedy
Client
software
on
your
machine
or
through
the
web
interface
above,
is
our
customer
contact
tracking
system.
Every
time
a
customer
contacts
the
Help
Desk,
we
track
the
details
of
their
contact
in
our
incident
management
software,
known
as
Remedy.
This
allows
us
to
compile
data
on
what
sort
of
contacts
we
get
over
varying
time
periods
as
well
as
let
us
backtrack
on
a
case
in
case
a
customer
calls
back
with
questions
or
concerns
regarding
prior
contacts
to
the
Help
Desk.
When
tracking,
the
most
important
question
to
keep
in
mind
is:
If
I
were
to
look
at
this
documentation
without
any
other
prior
knowledge,
would
I
be
able
to
determine
what
happened?
You
may
be
called
upon
by
a
customer
who
will
refer
to
a
prior
contact
they
had
with
the
Help
Desk
when
they
talk
with
you.
You
will
greatly
appreciate
the
detailed
documentation
provided
by
your
co‐workers
in
such
an
instance,
so
be
sure
to
help
them
in
the
same
way
–
document
all
cases
thoroughly.
14
Tracking
Terminology
Here
is
some
basic
terminology
which
you
will
need
to
know
when
working
in
our
call
center
environment:
Front
Line
/
Tier
I
–
This
is
what
you
are.
Tier
I
is
the
front
line
of
customer
service
and
support.
We
are
the
first
people
that
a
customer
will
deal
with
and
it
is
our
prerogative
to
provide
them
with
a
pleasant
experience.
We
also
seek
to
resolve
as
many
issues
as
possible
to
alleviate
the
work
load
of
system
specialists.
Incident
–
Any
singular
occurrence
that
is
brought
to
us
by
a
customer.
This
can
range
from
an
incorrect
password
to
a
faulty
keyboard
to
a
problem
with
a
mailing
list.
Problem
–
An
issue
that
affects
multiple
customers.
This
can
range
from
a
system
outage
to
a
power
failure.
Referral
–
When
an
incident
cannot
be
resolved
by
Tier
I
(you),
we
can
refer
the
case
to
a
specialized
group
to
handle
the
issue.
For
example,
if
a
customer
is
having
trouble
with
their
mailing
list
and
it
requires
the
intervention
of
the
Listmaster,
you
can
refer
the
case
to
the
Listmaster.
Escalation
–
Escalations
are
what
we
want
to
avoid.
These
are
like
referrals,
but
only
happen
when
there
is
a
problem.
For
example,
if
there
is
an
irate
customer
who
demands
to
speak
to
a
supervisor.
CTI
–
An
acronym
for
“Category,
Type,
Item.”
Each
case
gets
a
CTI
to
make
tracking
useful.
As
you
go
through
the
sections
on
Services,
you’ll
be
exposed
to
which
Category
and
Type
are
usually
used
for
each
service.
If,
while
progressing
through
this
section,
you
find
that
you
don’t
have
access
to
a
tool
listed
here,
immediately
notify
the
shift
leader.

‐ Read the Wiki article “Help Suite”
The
Help
Suite
is
an
old
page
(as
of
this
writing
it
hasn’t
been
updated
since
2003)
which
provides
us
with
a
myriad
of
information
regarding
a
customer.
Customers
can
be
looked
up
by
EID,
UIN
(a
confidential
identifier
used
by
the
backend
of
some
systems
such
as
Webmail),
ISO
(the
sixteen‐digit
code
on
your
UT
photo
ID
card),
or
IF
(the
individually
funded
account
code).
15
Due
to
changes
in
a
number
of
systems,
most
of
the
information
in
the
Help
Suite
is
currently
unreliable.
The
current
use
of
the
Help
Suite
lies
in
the
Current
Services
and
Current
Balances
sections.
Current
Services
This
section
will,
with
some
accuracy,
list
the
services
that
a
customer
is
signed
up
for.
This
section
is
mostly
useful
if
a
customer
is
signed
up
for
Resnet
(the
Residence
Hall
Network).
If
working
properly,
the
account
will
show
up
in
this
section
with
a
View/Modify
button,
which
will
allow
us
to
directly
access
their
account
through
NetDirect.
Current
Balances
This
section
pulls
financial
information
directly
from
the
DEFINE
accounting
application
on
the
Mainframe,
and
is
completely
accurate.
You
will
see
three
billing
codes
here:
Old
ITS
Billing
Code
(6510),
ITS
Pay
Up
Front
Billing
Code
(6526),
and
ITS
Prepaid
Deposit
(6530).
The
Old
ITS
Billing
Code
reflects
ITS
charges
prior
to
2003,
at
which
point
ITS
switched
to
a
pay‐in‐advance
model.
If
these
charges
are
unpaid,
customers
will
receive
a
financial
bar
on
their
account
which
will
prevent
them
from
registering
for
classes
or
obtaining
a
transcript,
among
other
things.
The
ITS
Pay
Up
Front
Billing
Code
reflects
ITS
charges
after
2003
based
on
the
pay‐in‐advance
model.
The
pay‐in‐advance
model
was
implemented
to
prevent
accrued
unpaid
charges,
a
problem
which
occurred
with
the
old
billing
system.
The
ITS
Prepaid
Deposit
is
rarely
used,
but
is
a
debit
account
similar
to
Bevo
Bucks
usable
by
faculty
and
staff.
Technical
Resource
Account
Control
(TRAC)
https://utdirect.utexas.edu/its/account/department/index.WBX
TRAC
is
our
billing
system
through
which
most
ITS
services
are
configured
and
billed,
especially
for
departments.
This
tool
has
a
wealth
of
features,
but
the
most
useful
is
the
User
Lookup
which
allows
you
to
input
an
EID
and
have
it
return
what
groups
the
EID
is
in
and
what
services

Getting
Exposed
to
User
Issues
In
this
section,
you
will
be
exposed
to
actual
cases
by
our
customers.
This
is
so
you
get
an
idea
of
what
types
of
issues
our
customers
contact
us
about
before
you
actually
start
remediating
customer
issues.
Listening
to
Calls
From
now
until
you
start
taking
calls,
you
should
be
finding
someone
on
phones
and
listening
to
their
calls.
Listening
to
calls
is
not
only
a
great
way
to
get
exposure
to
customer
issues;
it’s
also
a
good
way
to
meet
your
future
peers
at
the
Help
Desk.
During
Fall
Rush,
the
call
center
will
be
particularly
busy.
You
shouldn’t
spend
your
entire
day
listening
to
calls.
Take
time
to
do
other
tasks,
such
as
eHelp
and
Chats.

Training
Report
After
listening
to
calls
for
a
week
or
two,
you
should
begin
taking
calls
with
at
least
one
Consultant
listening
to
you.
While
in
training,
you
SHOULD
NOT
take
call
by
yourself.
eHelp
In
this
section,
you
will
also
begin
answering
customer
questions
via
our
eHelp
tool
in
Remedy.
Please
consult
with
a
shift
leader
before
starting
this
section.
30
The
primary
benefit
of
eHelp
as
a
support
option
is
that
it
allows
you
the
time
necessary
to
research
the
correct
answer
to
a
question.
Take
this
training
opportunity
to
answer
as
many
questions
as
possible
and
use
the
time
available
to
research
and
learn
the
answers
to
difficult
questions.
If
you
cannot
find
an
answer
through
your
own
research,
consult
the
shift
leader
for
a
solution
or
guidance.
While training, you should be setting the Group to “User Services > Help Desk > Training Review.”

Chat
http://www.utexas.edu/its/help/chat/tech_login.php
One
of
the
methods
of
communication
that
we
offer
to
our
customers
is
the
ability
to
chat
with
us
online.
A
benefit
of
the
chat
system
is
that
it
can
provide
EID
authentication,
which
allows
us
to
positively
verify
a
customer’s
identity.
When
you
log
on
to
a
chat,
use
your
first
name
only.
You
should
leave
the
chat
interface
open,
so
that
you
can
see
any
new
chat
requests
to
train
on.
Logging
Chats
You
should
track
chats
in
Remedy
like
normal
(the
Source
will
be
“IM”).
However
while
training,
each
of
your
chats
will
be
reviewed.
To
track
chats,
copy/paste
the
text
of
the
Chat
into
the
Work

Please
also

on
“Logoff”

In
this
section
you
will
begin
working
with
customers
and
remediating
computer
problems
with
minimal
supervision.
The

is
also
the

eHelp
This
section
should
wrap
up
your

The
first
part
of
this,
you’ll
spend
in
the
Call
Center
taking
Phone
Calls,
answering
eHelp,
and
taking
Chats.
If,
during
your
time
in
the
Call
Center,
you
discover
areas
which
didn't
get
covered
adequately
up
until
now,
then
take
time
to
clear
up
any
confusion.
Feel
free
to
ask
the
shift
leader
or
your
training
supervisor
for
help
with
this.
Up
until
now,
you’ve
been
on
the
schedule
as
“Trainee.”
As
you
begin
taking
calls
and
helping
customers
directly
in
Walk‐in,
you
will
be
scheduled
as
“Trainee
Phones”
and
“Trainee
Walk‐in,”
respectively.
Taking
Phone
Calls
There
are
unique
issues
that
come
up
when
taking
calls;
Smartvoice,
College
of
Fine
Arts,
Phone
Solicitors,
identity
verification
for
EID
password
resets,
etc.
When
taking
calls,
you
should
try
to
solve
issues
on
your
own
rather
than
relying
on
the
Consultant
monitoring
you.
It
is
very
useful
to
be
in
contact
with
them
via
Jabber
during
the
call.
