TDX Request: Send a Request Form and Document the Interaction (OIT User Support)

There are several request forms that customers can fill out on their own. They may call in needing help finding the link to that request form. This article walks through how to send the request form to the user AND document the user interaction in a Service Request ticket. If your unit does not require you to track every user interaction, you can follow the steps in Send a Request Form instead.
