Creating a Mobile Guardian Support Account

For users with multiple open tickets or partners managing multiple Mobile Guardian clients, creating a support account can help keep track of issues more efficiently.

To create an account, click on the "Sign in" button located in the upper right corner of the homepage. A pop-up window will appear, as shown below.

For new users, click the "Sign up" button to create an account. Partners may already have an account set up by Mobile Guardian and can use the credentials provided to log in.

Once logged in, your username will appear in the upper right corner of the screen. Clicking on it will reveal a drop-down menu with three options: My Activities, Edit my Profile, and Sign out.

• My Activities:
  • View all raised tickets, comments, and articles you are following. This option will navigate you to the "My Requests" tab.
• Edit my Profile:
  • Change your profile picture, username, or contact details associated with your account. Rest assured that all contact details are kept private and only visible to the Mobile Guardian team.
• Sign out:
  • Log out of your profile when you're finished with your session.

Understanding the "My Requests" Tab

In the My Requests tab, you'll find all the requests you have submitted to Mobile Guardian and their current status.

Our Support Portal assigns one of three statuses to each ticket:

• Open:
  • The support team is currently investigating the ticket.
• Awaiting your Reply:
  • The support team needs additional information from you to proceed with the ticket.
• Closed:
  • The issue has been resolved. A support team member will confirm with you if the issue is resolved. If there is no reply after a week, the ticket will be closed automatically.

In addition to your requests, you might have visibility of other tickets, especially if you are CC'd on them or if they belong to your organization:

• Requests I’m CC’d on:
  • Find all requests where you are CC'd. These are emails sent to our support address, support@mobileguardian.com, where you are included as a recipient.

• Organization Requests:
  • View all support requests raised by users within your organization. This feature is particularly beneficial for Mobile Guardian partners managing multiple clients.

All lists can be filtered by ticket status or by organization (for users with access to multiple organizations). Additionally, the search function allows you to find specific tickets using keywords. When contacting our support team, we recommend using relevant keywords (e.g., applications, profiles, web filters) in the email subject line for more efficient processing.

Reviewing Contributions and Followed Articles

Beyond managing your support tickets, you can review your contributions and tracked articles:

• Contributions Tab:
  • Review comments you've made on Mobile Guardian articles. Keep track of your engagement and feedback within the knowledge base.
• Following Tab:
  • See all the articles you're currently following. Stay updated on any changes or updates made to the articles that interest you.
