Info

Our Infinite Campus Support Team is available to assist you with any Infinite Campus issue, but in order to efficiently manage requests from our many teachers, secretaries, counselors, administrators and other staff with over 8,000 users with our small support team of 58, we must have an orderly method in which we receive, respond to, and track requests for help.

Starting in April, 2019, we have begun to utilize new help desk software called Jira Service Desk Management (JSDJSM).  ANY user can send us a request for help via this user-friendly interface.  When using JSDJSM, a ticket is created that goes directly to the Infinite Campus support team, bypassing the main IT help desk. Using the form allows you to provide specific information (student ID, course number, etc.) which helps the analyst begin resolving issues much faster. Once submitted, you can log in at any time to see the status of any request you have entered, and you will receive updates via email. Our goal is to respond to all requests within 24 business hours.

(question) I've never submitted a ticket before ... where do I start?

(lightbulb)

(lightbulb) Complete step-by-step directions can be found here. 

(question)

(question) Can I just call x8425 (main help desk)?

(lightbulb) Yes, but this will NOT speed up response time ... in fact, it will take LONGER.  Here's why:

  1. You most often have to wait on hold. It only takes about 2-3 minutes to create your own ticket ... hold times are typically much longer than this.
  2. When someone answers, they will be entering a ticket the same as you can. Unfortunately, sometimes things can get lost in translation and information isn't always put in the system the way you meant for it to be. This takes longer to track down and resolve.
  3. During peak times, you will sometimes have to leave a voicemail. This takes even longer, as someone has to go through them all, enter them into the system. Again, things do get lost in translation here too, however an analyst doesn't have the advantage of speaking directly to the user (only listening to voicemail), so they may not get all of the necessary information. We have had many instances where the information being entered isn't what the requester had asked about.
(question)

(lightbulb) NO.  The 8425 number (whether you call or text) is managed by the IT department - they will refer you to create a ticket for the Infinite Campus Support Team as described above.

(question) Can I just email or call someone else with my question?

(lightbulb)

(lightbulb) If you need to follow up on an existing ticket, please have that number ready when you call or email. If you do not have a ticket, you'll be asked to create one, as the tickets already in the queue are the priority and can be properly tracked, whereas emails and phone calls cannot. Remember, opening a ticket will guarantee your request doesn't get lost or forgotten. By entering it in the ticketing system, it becomes part of a workflow that has to be completed by our team.

(question)

(question) What about other issues not related to Infinite Campus?

(lightbulb)

(lightbulb) Using

JSD

JSM you can submit a ticket for issues related to Certify and

Conflence

Confluence by following the same instructions at the link mentioned above.

(question)

(question) What self-service options do I have?

(lightbulb)

SC

Infinite Campus Dashboard, (this website) is our Knowledge Base, that is available to everyone and does not require a username or password to log in.

(question) I've never logged on to the Campus Community before, how do I get in?

(lightbulb)

(lightbulb) After clicking the link inside Infinite Campus (see above), you may be prompted to create

an account. Follow the steps below

a Campus ID if you have never accessed the Community before.

      Follow the steps here to create your Campus ID. This is a ONE TIME process ... Once your account is created, you will no longer need to authenticate, as logging in to Infinite Campus does this for you.
