Submit a Help RequestThis job aid will show you how to submit a DFPS Remedy Service Request. CASA Volunteers should direct issues or problems with the Case Connection system to their CASA Staff. If CASA Staff cannot resolve the issue, they can request that their IAM Representative submit a DFPS Remedy Service Request.

When a CASA staff member or volunteer reports a technical problem (i.e. a problem with the portal, IAM or Case Connection), the IAM Rep logs into Remedy and records the issue as a Remedy service request “ticket.” The ticket is then assigned to the appropriate support group monitored by DFPS Tier 2 staff member(s) and tracked until the problem is resolved.

RolesThis tip sheet is for the Designated IAM Representative, and explains how to submit a DFPS Help Request.

Pre-ConditionCASA IAM Representatives in organizations who have deployed prior to October 31st, 2014 have been provided access to Remedy, the customer support ticketing application used by DFPS. These CASA IAM Representatives will receive an email with a user ID and password that they will use to log into Remedy
