Support Tickets - What are They & How to Use Them

In this article, you will learn what tickets are, how to submit tickets, and when to submit tickets.


What are Tickets?

Omni has multiple communication methods available to support you during your business partnership!

Omni strongly recommends the use of tickets to collect very specific information from you to better support your business. You create a ticket in 2 ways:

  1. Interacting with Gig-O-Bot (who creates a ticket on your behalf). 
  2. Emailing one of Omni’s support departments.

How to Submit Tickets

How do you know when to use the Gig-O-Bot or send an email?

Gig-O-Bot

For any of the following issues or questions, interacting with Gig-O-Bot is best:
  1. DESD Tech Support- unable to access tools
  2. Earnings- questions or issues
  3. Time Adjustments/Scheduling- needing a time adjustment or having scheduling issues
  4. Digital Learning/Certification- questions, attendance concerns, extensions, technical issues with module, article suggestion
  5. Applying for a new Gig- Signing up for a new gig

  Email

       For the following issues or questions, emailing the correct support department is best:

  1. Need ADP Support – When the Omnipedia articles on ADP do not answer your question
  2. Gig Talent– Signing up for a new gig when Gig-O-Bot doesn't answer the quesiton. 
  3. Client Services– Questions about contract requirements
  4. Verifications – when you need to verify your partnership with Omni
  5. Schedule Adherence- currently scheduled shifts 


When to Submit Tickets

Complete First

Submitting tickets should be your last option for technical assistance. Please complete the following steps BEFORE submitting a ticket:
  1. Follow the steps in Omnipedia article DESD- Tech Support Information
  2. Read all relevant Omnipedia articles about your issue before placing a ticket/sending an email.
  3. Search Omnipedia for a resolution
  4. Search Teams for a resolution
  5. Use Google Search for a resolution
  6. Post issue in Teams
If none of these options result in a resolution of the issue, THEN submit a ticket to DESD.


Submitting Tickets

To help get your ticket resolved/email answered as quickly as possible, make sure to do the following:

  1. Enter all information into the bot/email as accurately as possible.
  2. Only submit one ticket or send one email– if more than 1 ticket is submitted or email received, there will be a delay in response from the appropriate department.

Step 1: Omnipedia

Go to Omnipedia 



Step 2: Use Gig-O-Bot

To begin submitting a ticket, click on the category in Gig-O-Bot that you need assistance with.

  2. Earnings- use for any issues with your earnings
  3. Time Adjustments/Scheduling- use for any scheduling issues
  4. Digital Learning/Certification- use for requesting updates or an article to be created, questions about certification, questions about Omnipedia artilces
  5. Applying for a new Gig- use when you have questions about applying for a new Omni Gig
  6. Other- If your question/issue doesn't fit into one of the above categories, use Other
