How do I create a case in the Field Admin Console?

You can create a case from the Field Admin Console. New cases can be added to your list of open cases or escalated to Canvas Support.

If your institution uses an Instructure-managed SIS, you may be able to create an SIS support ticket or escalate an existing Canvas Support ticket to the SIS support team.  

Note: Field Admin Console features may vary based on account and user settings. Based on the permissions for your role, you may not be able to view or use the features described in this lesson.
