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 collaboration!

Omni strongly recommends using tickets to collect precise information from you to support your business better. 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. Joining a new Gig- Signing up for a new gig

  

 Email

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

  1. Gig Talent– Signing up for a new gig when Gig-O-Bot doesn't answer the question. 
  2. Client Services– Questions about contract requirements
  3. Verifications – when you need to verify your collaboration with Omni
  4. Schedule Adherence- currently scheduled shifts 
To locate the department contact list/emails, please visit the Contact Information-Omni Omnipedia article.

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 the 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 resolve 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 an email is received, there will be a delay in response from the appropriate department.
