Customer Support Desk (CSD) Portal

We’ve updated the Connectbase Support Portal to make it faster and easier to get your request to the right team. This guide walks through what changed, what’s new, and how to submit a request going forward.

Note

Go-Live Date: June 1, 2026 — These changes will be live in the Support Portal starting Monday, June 1st.

What Changed and Why

The previous portal had separate categories for specific platforms and request types - things like Connections, Implementation, and General Help each lived as their own top-level options. Over time, as more platforms joined the Connectbase family, this structure became harder to navigate and made it difficult for customers to find the right form.

The updated portal replaces that structure with four clear, platform-agnostic categories. Rather than needing to know which platform-specific group to start in, you now start with what you need - and the form guides you from there.

Your existing open tickets are not affected. All in-flight requests will continue to be handled normally by your support team.

The New Portal at a Glance

When you visit support.connectbase.com, you’ll see four categories under “Contact us about”:

The updated portal home — four clean, platform-agnostic categories replace the previous structure.

Category

Use This When…

Configuration or Data Request

You need something set up, changed, or enabled

Report an Issue

Something isn’t working as expected

Request for Enhancement

You’d like the platform to do something new or better

Inquiry / General Help

You have a question or need guidance

How to Submit a Request

Every request follows the same three steps:

Step 1 - Choose a Category

Select the category that best matches what you need. If you’re unsure, Inquiry / General Help is always a safe starting point - our team will help route your request appropriately.

Step 2 - Choose a Request Type

Each category breaks down into specific request types. Here’s what you’ll see under each:

Configuration or Data Request

Configuration or Data Request - Connection, Configuration / Setup, Data Import / Export, Integration or API Access, User Access / Permissions, Other Request

Report an Issue

Report an Issue - Incorrect Results or Data, Integration or API Failure, Platform Performance Issue, Platform Unavailable, Other Issue

Request for Enhancement

Request for Enhancement — Platform Enhancement

Inquiry / General Help

Inquiry / General Help — Best Practice Guidance, Meeting Request, Training Request, Support Portal Access, Other Question

Step 3 - Select Your Platform and Provide Details

After selecting a request type, you’ll be asked to choose your platform. This is a required step and drives the rest of the form - it determines which fields appear and ensures your request reaches the right team.

Platform options: TCW, Retail (Masterstream / MSD), CIM / NCS, CloudAge, LMX

️ Selecting the wrong platform may delay your request. If you’re unsure, use Inquiry / General Help and describe your situation - we’ll take it from there.

Where Did My Old Categories Go?

If you’ve submitted tickets before, here’s how the old structure maps to the new one:

Previously Submitted Under

Now Submit Under

Connections

Configuration or Data Request → Connection

Implementation

Configuration or Data Request → Configuration / Setup

New or Update Requests

Configuration or Data Request

General Help

Inquiry / General Help

New Feature Request

Request for Enhancement → Platform Enhancement

Report an Issue

Report an Issue (same category, simplified request types)

Tips for Faster Resolution

  • Choose the closest matching request type. If nothing fits perfectly, Other Request or Other Issue work fine and we’ll clarify from there.

  • Select the correct platform. This is the single biggest factor in getting your request routed correctly and resolved quickly.

  • If you manage multiple groups, use the “Share With” field to associate the ticket with the right organization.

  • Provide examples - Quote IDs, screenshots, and specific examples help us triage faster.

  • For issues, describe both what is happening and what you expected to happen - this context is critical for our team.

Questions?

If you run into trouble submitting a request or aren’t sure where to start, submit a ticket under Inquiry / General Help → Other Question and we’ll sort it out for you.

If you require technical assistance or wish to report an issue to the Connectbase Support team, please log into the Connectbase Customer Support Desk Portal and submit a support ticket.
