The requests are automatically logged into the Help Desk application as incidents. These requests will be assigned by the Help Desk personnel to the respective IT personnel. The IT personnel will make the changes that have been requested using Endpoint Central.

In addition to logging help-desk requests, you can also complete the following tasks:
