Ask Support

Q: How do I obtain a login to create a Support ticket?

A: To obtain a login to the Unanet support portal or to create a new ticket, send an email to support@unanet.com. All accounts are associated with an active Unanet customer. The system automatically associates support requests with companies based on the registered email domain of the company. Companies can have multiple email domains but no two companies can have the same email domain. 

The following conditions must be met to be granted a support account:

  • The "from" address must match the domain of your company
  • It must NOT be a generic email account (e.g. it cannot be from gmail.com, aol.com, or msn.com)
  • The company must have an active support agreement with Unanet

The system relies on registered domains for customers to eliminate SPAM. Emails sent from addresses that are not registered with a company with an active support account will be rejected. Emails sent from a generic email account such as gmail.com or aol.com will be ignored by the system.

A login is required to view ticket histories through the support.unanet.com portal or to access the Per Diem and M&IE files from the support portal.

 

Each month we will include a common or recent question asked of our Support Team and share the response with you! Please continue to reach out to our Support Team at 703-689-9709 or email support@unanet.com.

 
 

Upcoming Webinar:

Purchase Orders for Managing Subcontractor Labor

(Training will focus only on subcontractor labor) 
1. Create a Purchase Order with subcontractor labor to ensure that the details (hours, labor categories, etc.) show up on the customer invoice
2. Set up subcontractors that allow a PO stamp on subcontractor timesheets with the purchase order number 
3. Step through the vendor invoice process, matching and entering labor hours in Unanet 
4. Review the new customer invoice format with added fields for hours, labor categories, etc.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
