IT Support and Troubleshooting Request
About this template
This template helps IT teams gather the information needed to assess, prioritize, and investigate support issues. It captures the affected service or device, the scope and business impact, urgency, error details, recent changes, troubleshooting already attempted, network and location context, and the best way to follow up. Clients can also attach screenshots, logs, or error reports while being reminded not to share credentials.
Who it’s for
- Managed IT service providers handling client support requests
- Internal IT help desks and technical support teams
- Organizations that need consistent details for issue triage
- Support teams coordinating remote, phone, or on-site troubleshooting
When to use it
- A user cannot access an application, device, system, or network
- An error message, performance issue, or service disruption needs investigation
- A shared system or customer-facing service is affecting multiple users
- IT support needs technical context before scheduling a troubleshooting session
Customization tips
- Add a company-specific list of applications, systems, or device types if requests commonly involve the same tools.
- Align urgency options with your service-level agreements and escalation process.
- Include a department, office location, or asset tag field when those details help route requests.
- Add a consent or remote-access acknowledgment if technicians may need to connect to a user’s device.
