Environment

  1. The Submit Help ticket form will open. Complete all applicable fields and selections. As you populate the Subject field, a count of suggested knowledge base topics from the NinjaOne Dojo might appear below it. Providing more information results in more detailed suggestions. We recommend reviewing these articles, as they may resolve your issue and prevent the need for a support ticket.

Fields marked with an asterisk are mandatory, while others are optional; however, providing more information helps our team respond effectively to your request.
  1. Classify your request by selecting the most applicable topic from the Category menu. Correct categorization reduces response times and can enhance the accuracy of the support you receive. For category definitions, refer to this article's Support Request Categories section.
  2. Optionally, in the CC field, designate one or more additional NinjaOne users to be correspondents on the ticket.
  3. Use the File attachments field to include files related to your request, such as a screenshot of the issue you're experiencing. You can attach up to five files. To remove a file, move your cursor over its entry in the list. Click the ellipses icon that appears. Then, click Delete.

How We Keep You Informed

As your ticket moves through the above stages, NinjaOne sends you automated updates triggered by key progress points so you'll always know when your ticket status changes. Additionally, for active tickets, we occasionally send proactive updates even if the status hasn't changed, so you know that your request is still being monitored and worked on. These communications keep you informed, reduce uncertainty, and ensure you always have visibility into your support interactions.

If you have any questions about your ticket status, don't hesitate to contact our support team.
