Jira Service Desk portal FAQs

Can I still send emails to request support?

Yes, you can still request support via email or phone. In addition, you can request support in our new ticket system portal.

How can I request support in the new ticket system portal?
  1. Go to service.de-cix.net.
  2. Log in using your existing DE-CIX customer portal credentials.
  3. There you can open new tickets or edit and close existing ones.
Do I need to change anything in my systems?

If you filter incoming emails in regard to our old ticket-ID (e.g. [DE-CIX-RT-1234]) you might want to adjust your filter (new e.g.: [DXCS-1234]). Otherwise, no change is needed on your side.

Does the change have any impact on my open tickets with the DE-CIX Customer Service?

No, your open tickets were migrated into our new ticket system with a new ticket ID. We provide the new ID with the first response you receive from us from the new system.

Do I need a new account to log in to the new system?

No, you can use your existing DE-CIX customer portal account credentials to log in to the new ticket system.

What is my DE-CIX customer portal username?

Your DE-CIX account username is created based on your autonomous system number (ASN). For example, if the ASN is 6695, the first user account created for this company is: "as6695".

This is then the administrative account for the company. Any colleagues created by you or by us after the administrative account has been created, look like this:

as6695.$first_letter_of_prename_lastname, e.g. as6695.mmueller (account for "Max Mueller").

Admin users can use the co-worker function in the DE-CIX customer portal to set up accounts for their colleagues at any time.

How can I change the language in the new ticket system portal?

In the upper right corner of the Jira Service Desk portal, click on your user icon and choose Profile. In the window that opens, click on Edit your profile. There you can change your default language in the preference settings, add an avatar picture, or change the time zone.

With the change to Jira Service Desk, will my data be saved in the cloud?

No, the new ticket system is run on our own servers (Jira Service Desk – Server Edition).
