Registration
All information about registration can be found on the registration page. The link to this page is also available in the menu bar.
Registering as support staff
To register as support staff, click the link “Apply” and fill in the registration form. After registering successfully you will receive a confirmation mail from GGUS.
Access to GGUS web interface
Up to now, there are two different ways for getting access to the GGUS web interface.
One way is to use the link in the GGUS portal. GGUS portal is located at http://ggus.org or http://www.ggus.org. In the GGUS portal there is a link named “Support staff” [Figure 3]. After clicking this link a new window opens demanding your authentication if you are not using a valid grid certificate.
After authenticating yourself you are guided to another page where you can find links to GGUS web interface in the menu bar [Figure 4]. Another way is to use the direct link provided in the notification mail support staff receives when a ticket is assigned to him or his support unit.
Access to GGUS ticket timeline tool
The link to the GGUS ticket timeline tool is located on support staff page [Figure 5]. The ticket timeline tool provides a graphical overview of tickets concerning a selected site and time range. It shows all tickets that have been updated during the selected time range. When moving the mouse over one of the coloured bars some additional information is displayed [Figure 7]. Clicking on the ticket ID opens a new window showing the ticket details and the modify section of the ticket.
Access to GGUS Report Generator
The link to the GGUS Report Generator is located on support staff page [Figure 5]. The GGUS Report Generator could be used for generating statistics and reports for all support units in GGUS.
