Servicedesk If you experience a problem with theschool’s PCs, network or others technical facilities it is important to report it to the servicedesk. Reporting is on line at: http://servicedesk.knord.dk or through the link ’Service desk’ at the top menu in Fronter. Here you can:
- Create a case and send it to the service desk - Follow the status of the case - Receive clarifying questions to the case - Get a solution to your problem
When you have created a case you have to select a case type (Danish: Sagstype) and write a description of the problem. It can be a good idea to specify in which room the problem has occurred (i.e. 419). If it is a specific PC or printer each piece of equipment has a unique number which also is a good idea to state. If we do not report errors the service desk cannot correct the errors. So remember to report errors!
