What should users do if they encounter issues with IDACS?

When users encounter issues with the Indiana Data and Communications System (IDACS), the most appropriate action is to contact the IDACS Help Desk. The Help Desk is specifically established to assist users with technical issues, provide resolutions, and offer guidance on the system's functionalities. This dedicated support team has the expertise and resources to address concerns efficiently and effectively, ensuring users can resume their work with minimal disruption.

Other options are less effective in resolving problems. Keeping issues to oneself delays resolution and may prevent others from finding a solution as well. Reporting directly to a third-party contractor could lead to miscommunication and may not be an appropriate channel for support, as IDACS has its own established procedures for such situations. While assisting others in troubleshooting can be supportive, it doesn’t directly address one’s own issues with the system and may lead to further confusion if users lack the proper knowledge or authority to resolve specific problems. Therefore, reaching out to the IDACS Help Desk is the best course of action to ensure timely and accurate support.
