Please fix the new helpdesk system
After the switch to the new system we've lost several important features, namely:
-The tickets are gone. Emailing the ticket number is not the same, it's worse and more difficult to manage
-The tracking is gone. We had a way to see all our tickets with a status for each ticket. Now I have to ping the helpdesk each time I want to check if the ticket was solved or not.
-The file attachment during chat is not working properly. The helpdesk agent has to "allow it". Some agents don't even know about that feature (!), sometimes it just plainly…18 votesDelivered · AdminSandra Ray (Customer Support Director, or Executive, Cisco Networking Academy) respondedWe are happy to announce the Support Desk page has been updated and you can now view your case history and all of the details.

Hello,
We believe that a Description field when creating a course is a good idea for organization and can facilitate the identification of the course.

Locate a student by his/her data
It would be very useful to be able to locate students by any data associated with them like first name, last name, or even email, using the "Manage Users" feature under the "Manage" tab at NetSpace Home.
This feature is specially useful for Cisco Academies (like ours) that have a huge number of students.

Bilingual materials
Is it possible to create a course with two languages? I mean that the students could see the on-line materials not only in English but also in Russian (or other language)?
We have training in English. But some students are not fluent in English. It will be convenient to have access to on-line materials in Russian additionally.1 voteAs of the end of July, CCNA R&S non-English courses include a link to the English version as well.

Offline version of the 5.0 version of the CCNA (R & S)
Provide a version of the curriculum for offline installation in laboratories study.

Direct access to errata files from within the curriculum
Would you include an hyper-link to the errata file(s)?
Each time a teacher finds something strange in the curriculum, he has to find the last errata file and analyze it.
Each time an error is reported, the guys of the HelpLine remind us how to check the errata lists.
Please, help us not to spend our time to administrative tasks !
Direct access to these errata files will be helpful.
Thanks
Marc DELMOTTE, ITQ3 votesHello Marc,
There should be a link to the errata files on the Instructor Home page of your course. From your course home page, click “All Pages” in the right nav and select “Instructor Home”. Scroll down to the subsection titled “Instructor Community and Support”. This link takes you to the latest support information including Errata.Since the Errata are frequently updated and your course is locked in at your start date, this approach gives you the quickest access to the most up-to-date information.
Best regards,

Changing ASC
I needed to change ASC accounts. I went to search and typed in north dakota. No results. I then had to check with the ASC and it is spelled North Dakota. I typed in North Dakota with a capital N and D and then it found the full title. The search should not be case sensitive.

Activity Map for ITE 5
I have seen an Activity Map for Intro to Routing & Switching, and could use one for the ITE5 class that I teach. We are engaged in a curriculum mapping initiative and it would be a great resource. I have looked on the site & can't find it; anyone know if it exists? TIA for your help.

Include the assessment duration in the default activation profile
Someone already requested this and it was closed saying it was already available but I don't think it is. Please be detailed and clear in your response.
In setting up my default activation profile, I want to set the assessment duration to 2 hours but I cannot; it defaults to 1 hour. Therefore, I always have to use the advanced activation in order to set the duration to 2 hours.

I’m happy to report that the Exam Duration is now available in your Activation Profile.
Thank you all for your patience.
