Welcome to the Langara AskIT portal. Here are some answers to questions you might have about how to find information and make use of our services. 

Need a quick answer?

Search solutions to common issues at the top-right corner.  

IT has made many support articles available for viewing in the Knowledge Base with new articles being added all the time.  

How do I submit a ticket?

There are two ways to submit a ticket:

  1. Selecting a specific service from the IT Service Catalog 
  2. Submitting a General Technical Support request if there is no appropriate service available 

TIP: Your request will get handled faster if you choose the appropriate service! Can’t find a service? Do a search at the top-right corner.

How do I view my tickets? 

Click the View Your Tickets button on the left of the AskIT Home page. 

How do I update my ticket?

In addition to responding to the email notifications you will receive when submitting and updating a ticket you can log in to the portal and comment directly on a ticket from your list of active tickets 

Can I add other people to a ticket? 

Yes! Anyone added can view and will receive notifications on the ticket. 

 When submitting a new ticket:

  • Look for Additional Contacts filed under the Requestor Information section and add anyone you want by including their email address
    • TIP: Don’t see the person you’re looking for? Hit the magnifying glass and it will open a new window to display all available contacts instead of the top 5

When the ticket is already created:

  • Ask the IT technician to add any additional contacts by leaving a comment in the AskIT Portal

How do I attach files to a ticket?

There are a few different ways, depending on the way you submit the ticket and the status of the ticket: 

  • For a new ticket in the AskIT portal, use the Attachment option at the bottom of the form to browse to and attach files 
  • When viewing your existing ticket in the AskIT portal, click the Add Attachment button at the top or the + symbol in the Attachments section on the right
  • If replying to a ticket by email, use the Attach or Attach File option in Outlook--don't include the attachment in the body of the email as it will get stripped out
