You can also find the asset number for your devices on the ticket itself.



Scroll down to the bottom of the ticket and see “My Assets”.  Each device assigned to you is listed with the number on the left-hand side.  Put THIS number in the LPS Asset # field.


  • Attachments - Click the Add File button to add a screen-shot of your issue (not required) or any file you think will be helpful.
  • Location - Select the building and room number where the device can be accessed by the Field Technician
  • Priority - Select the urgency of your request.

Next Steps

Once a ticket has been saved, the tech department begins to process it. Oftentimes, they will send you an email with additional information that you can use to solve your issue.
  • In order to NOT delete them accidentally, be sure to look for emails from “lpstechsupport”
  • If the subject line says “updated” a tech has written an update about your ticket or written a note to you with instructions.
  • You can open the email and scroll down to the bottom to find the note from the field tech.
