Help, one step at a time.

Small reads for the questions that come up along the way.

Getting started

Find your way around TDesk

Start with the question you want to answer. You can search the guides on this page, choose a topic, or read the frequently asked questions.

Choose your next step

  • Use Getting started for the basics.
  • Choose Your account for sign-in and profile guidance.
  • Open My tickets to explore the ticket list and its status labels.
  • Visit Contact support when your question needs more context.

For the wider help library, visit the knowledge base.

What you need to create an account

The sign-up page has fields for your display name, username, email address, and password. Have those details ready before you begin.

  • Use a display name that support can recognize.
  • Choose a username you can remember and an email address you can access.
  • Choose a unique password, ideally saved in a password manager.

Already have an account? Go to Sign in instead. If registration is not working, explain what happened on the contact page; never include your password.

Get better help with a clear question

A short, specific question is easier to investigate. Use the contact page to find the name, email, subject, and message fields.

Include these details

  1. Say what you were trying to do.
  2. Describe what you expected and what actually happened.
  3. List the steps that lead to the issue.
  4. Copy the exact error text, if there is one.

A subject such as “Attachment does not open in my ticket” is more useful than “Help.” Keep passwords, payment details, and other private information out of your message.

Your account

Having trouble signing in?

On the sign-in page, check that you are using your username and that Caps Lock is off. Watch for accidental spaces when pasting details.

  • If a password manager filled the form, check that it selected the correct account.
  • If you recently changed a password elsewhere, make sure you are using the one for this account.
  • If you cannot recover access, visit Contact support and describe the error you see.

Do not send anyone your password or a one-time security code. This guide cannot reset a password for you.

Find your profile and account details

The profile page groups account information into two areas.

  • Login data: username, email, and password fields.
  • Personal information: phone, country, city, and address fields.

Check that you are using the intended account before entering personal information. If a detail is incorrect and you cannot update it, use Contact support to explain which detail needs attention. Do not include your password.

Choose a password you can keep safe

Use a long, unique password for your account. A password manager can generate and remember one without making you reuse a password from another service.

  • Avoid names, birthdays, and predictable sequences.
  • Keep your password private, including in support messages and screenshots.
  • Check the address of a sign-in page before entering your details.

If you think someone else has access to your account, stop sharing sensitive information and visit Contact support to explain your concern.

Tickets & replies

Find and follow a support ticket

Open My tickets to find the ticket list. A ticket number and a descriptive subject help distinguish one conversation from another.

  1. Find the relevant subject or ticket number in the list.
  2. Select its title or number to open the conversation.
  3. Read the latest message and note whether more information is needed.

When following up, refer to the same ticket number and keep related information in one conversation. This makes the history easier to understand.

What do the ticket statuses mean?

The ticket list separates a ticket’s overall status from the state of its messages. Read both labels before deciding what to do next.

  • Opened / Closed: whether the ticket is still active or marked closed.
  • Unread: a message has been marked as not yet read.
  • Waiting reply: the conversation is waiting for a response; open it to see whose input is needed.
  • Answered: the ticket has been marked as answered; read the reply for the next step.

Priority labels such as Low, Medium, and High describe priority, not a promised response time. Visit My tickets to view the list.

Add a useful reply to a conversation

Read the latest message in a ticket before writing your reply. Answer each question directly so the next person has the information they need.

  • Say which suggested steps you tried and what happened.
  • Copy error text exactly instead of paraphrasing it.
  • If you refer to an attachment, explain what it shows.
  • Remove passwords and personal information from screenshots.

Keep one issue in each conversation where possible. Start from My tickets and open the relevant ticket to find its reply area.

Troubleshooting

What to try when a page will not load

First, copy any unsaved text somewhere safe. Refreshing or closing a tab can discard what you have typed.

  1. Check whether another website opens to confirm your connection.
  2. Reload the page once and note any error message.
  3. Try the same page in a private browsing window to check whether a browser extension or stored site data is involved.
  4. If the issue continues, note your browser, the page address, and the steps that caused it.

Share those details through Contact support. Avoid repeatedly submitting a form while a page is unresponsive.

An attachment will not open

Check the attachment’s filename and type before opening it. Only open files from a source you trust.

  • Look in your browser’s downloads list to see whether the file downloaded.
  • Check that you have an application that supports the file type.
  • If a download failed, check your connection before trying again.
  • If the file opens but looks incomplete, describe the missing content in the ticket conversation.

Do not disable your browser’s security protections to open a file. If you need help, include the filename and exact error message when you contact support.

The issue is still happening. What next?

If a suggested solution did not work, a concise follow-up helps keep the investigation moving.

  1. List the steps you have already tried.
  2. Say whether anything changed after each step.
  3. Include the exact error, when it happened, and the page involved.
  4. If you already have a ticket, include its number and continue that conversation.

Use My tickets for an existing conversation, or Contact support for a new question. Avoid sending the same information in several separate requests.
