Support Request Management — NCR Atleos Central

Support Request Management

This page explains how to use the Support Request Management feature in the NCR Atleos Central portal. You'll learn how to find and review equipment details, how to opt into email notifications on ticket updates via Ticket Watcher, and how to create, update, escalate, cancel, and download support tickets.

Who Can Create Tickets?

Any user with the Support Request Management Admin permission can view and create tickets in the portal.

Available actions are based on a user's assigned permissions:

  • Support Request Management: View & Download
  • Support Request Management Admin: View, Download, Create, Update (comment/attach file), Escalate (Hardware only), & Cancel

Important Notes for Managed Services Customers

Customers with Managed Services contracts do not see or use the Support Request feature in the new NCR Atleos Central experience.

Managed Services customers submit and track incidents through Ops 360.

Accessing Support Requests

From the left-hand vertical menu, click the light bulb icon (the Support Request Management icon). This opens the Support Requests page, where users can manage their Equipment and Tickets as well as create requests.

In the Equipment view, you'll see a table listing all available equipment. Hovering over a row highlights it and reveals action buttons on the right side: Create Support Request and View Equipment Details.

Hover Actions — Create or View

When you hover over a row, two actions become available:

• Create Support Request — Opens the ticket creation form for that specific device. Fields such as device and location details are automatically filled in when available.

• View Equipment Details — Displays a read-only view containing additional information about the selected equipment item, including its historical support tickets.

Table View Controls (Upper Right)

In the upper-right area of the "Select Equipment for Support Request" view, you'll find three tools to help locate specific equipment:

  • Advanced Filter — Build custom filters to narrow down the equipment list.
  • Saved Searches — Quickly re-run or manage commonly used search criteria.
  • Edit Table Columns — Choose which columns to display and adjust their order.

Use Advanced Filter to find specific devices, save the search for later use, and adjust the table columns to show the most relevant fields for your workflow.

Tickets Tab — Viewing Existing Tickets

Click the Tickets tab (located next to the Equipment tab) to view all support tickets associated with your account. Each ticket row includes details such as Ticket ID, Status, Short Description, Priority (e.g., Scheduled, Not Urgent), Ticket Type (Hardware/Software), Creation Date, Update Date, and related Site Name.

The Tickets tab includes the same three controls (Advanced Filter, Saved Searches, and Edit Table Columns), allowing you to easily search, sort, and format your ticket list.

Escalating a Ticket

If a support request requires urgent attention and meets specific criteria, you can escalate it directly from the portal. To escalate, navigate to the Tickets tab, open the ticket's details, and click the Escalate button located in the upper right corner.

⚖️ Escalation Logic — When can a ticket be escalated?

A ticket is eligible for escalation only if all of the following are true:

  • The ticket is not already closed (i.e., status is not Closed, Completed, or Cancelled).
  • AND any one of these conditions is met:
    • The ticket is Suspended.
    • The technician has not arrived and there is no projected arrival time set.
    • The technician has not arrived and the projected arrival time has already passed.

Clicking the Escalate button opens the Escalation Form. You will be required to provide an escalation reason, category (e.g., Aged Ticket, ETA outside of SLA, Chronic Issue), and your contact details.

Downloading Tickets

To download software (SW) and hardware (HW) support tickets, select one or more tickets by checking the boxes on the left side of the table, then click the green Download button. The selected tickets are exported for offline review or reporting.

You can also hover over a ticket and use the Download action to export it individually.

Severity, Impact, and Urgency Guidance

📋 Ticket Type Clarification — Software vs. Hardware Critical Tickets

The restriction on submitting critical priority tickets through the portal applies to Software (SW) Support only. The NCR Atleos Central portal does not accept critical Software support tickets — these must be reported by phone (see contact numbers below).

Hardware (HW) P1 critical tickets can be opened directly in the portal. The portal accepts Hardware tickets at all priority levels, including critical (P1/Sev1).

Ticket Type Critical (P1 / Sev1) via Portal?
Hardware (HW) ✅ Yes — can be submitted in the portal
Software (SW) ❌ No — must contact support by phone

Support requests with High Impact and High Urgency (Severity 1 / Critical incidents) cannot be submitted through the portal for Software support.

When users select the highest urgency and impact values during Software ticket creation, the portal displays the following message:

"Critical Priority Support Request: For critical issues, please contact our 24x7 support team directly instead of submitting this form, visit ncratleos.com/support for phone numbers and additional support options."

For Sev1 / Critical Software incidents, contact support immediately by phone:

  • Hardware Service Support: 1-800-948-5946
  • ATM & ITM Software Service Support: 1-832-308-4674

If your organization has been provided with a dedicated or pre-assigned support phone number, you may use that number instead, following your established escalation procedures.

Creating a Hardware Support Request

Clicking Create Support Request on a specific equipment row opens the ticket creation form. Most fields are pre-filled using the equipment's details and serial number, reducing manual input and minimizing errors.
