Should you have a support query and need to submit a support ticket, you can do this from within Alto, or, from the Help Centre. Whichever route you choose, please provide as much detailed information as possible, along with screenshots relevant to your query.

Any tickets you submit can be tracked through the Help Centre, and from here you can view their Status and when it was last worked on.

 Note

If you'd like to request and discuss new user licenses, new branches, data services, design work, company detail changes and billing enquiries, complete the relevant form(s) here

Once your ticket is logged, you'll receive a notification with the ticket ID to confirm that it's been logged.

The ticket will go straight to the Support team, and an agent experienced in that area of Alto will fully investigate your query before getting back to you.

Tracking your Support tickets

Once your ticket has been submitted, you'll receive an email inviting you to register for a Help Centre account, and to Create a password.

By doing so, any tickets you submit can be tracked through the Help Centre, and from here you can view their Status and Last activity, i.e. when it was last worked on by a member of the Support team.

 Note

Prior to October 2023, if you've submitted a ticket request, an account will have already been created for you using your supplied email address. As such, from October 2023, you won't receive a registration email and a prompt to create a password. 

Therefore, in order to view and track your support tickets via Requests, we advise that you contact Support so they can send you a password reset email for your Help Centre account, as pictured below

Once the ticket is logged and you are logged into your Help Centre account:

  1. Click Your Name in the upper right corner of the Help Centre
  2. In the dropdown menu, click Requests

  3. On the My requests tab, a list of all the tickets you've submitted will be displayed.
    You can view when the ticket was Created, when the Last activity was (when it was last worked on by a member of the Support team), and the ticket Status (Open/Solved).
    You can click the Subject of a ticket to open it in full
