IT help desk portal

An IT help desk portal is where employees log laptop, access and software problems as tickets, the IT team triages and resolves them on a board, and each requester can see where their own ticket stands.

Pattern: Requests

Describe it to Pory

“Our staff need one place to report IT problems. The IT team should triage tickets by priority and mark them resolved, and whoever raised a ticket should be able to see its status.”

What is an IT help desk portal?

An IT help desk portal is where employees log laptop, access and software problems as tickets, the IT team triages and resolves them on a board, and each requester can see where their own ticket stands. It follows the Requests pattern: someone submits, someone decides, it moves through statuses. Pory generates it from a plain-English description, with a login for each role (employee and IT team) that shows only what that role should see, and flat pricing with unlimited employees.

What it does

01

Staff report a broken laptop in a form, not a hallway ambush

IT problems arrived by Slack, email, and whoever caught Luis at the coffee machine, so half of them were never written down. In Pory an employee picks the category and priority, names the device, describes what's happening and adds a screenshot. The ticket lands in IT's queue with the details already there, and nobody gets stopped in the corridor.

02

IT sorts tickets by priority and moves each one to resolved

The IT queue was a shared inbox where urgent and trivial looked identical. The IT team sees every ticket as a card on a board, in New, In progress, Waiting on requester or Resolved, and drags each one along as the work happens. The payroll lockout gets picked up before the printer jam, as it should.

03

Employees check their own ticket's progress instead of pinging IT

"Any update on my laptop?" was the message IT got most, usually about a ticket already being worked on. In Pory each employee sees their own tickets with a progress bar from New to Resolved, including a Waiting on requester step when IT needs something from them. The update is already there, so the follow-up never gets sent.

The parts every portal is built from

Pory generates a portal from these pieces and wires the permissions between them. The same parts run a grant round, a help desk, and a tenant portal — only the names on the pages change.

Collect

Forms

Signed-in or public, with typed fields and file uploads. A form files a record; it doesn't start an email thread.

Public pages

An application page, a notice board, an open directory — pages and forms anyone can use without signing in, on your domain.

Self sign-up

People create their own account and land in the role you chose for them.

File attachments

Upload and view files on the record they belong to — not in a folder named FINAL v2.

Decide

Approve / reject with a reason

Decision buttons for whoever may edit the status. Who decided, when, and why stays on the record.

Status tracker

“Where's my request?” answered as a progress bar on the submitter's own page.

Board by status

Cards in columns. Drag a record to move it along.

Checklists

Task lists ticked off per record, in its detail view, with progress — onboarding runs, inspections, opening duties.

Assign to a person

Name who a record is for and it lands on their list, and nobody else's.

Notes & scores

A reviewer's score, a coach's feedback, a clinician's note — kept on the record it belongs to, never lost in a thread.

Reminders by date

Renewals, expiries and overdue work, in an in-app inbox and by email.

Share

Tables

Search, filters, sorting, inline add and edit — the spreadsheet, minus the sharing accident.

People directory

Portraits, names, and roles from a table, shown only to the roles allowed to see them.

Calendar

Records on a month or week view, by date.

Gallery & image grid

Records as cards or photos.

Detail view with related items

Open a unit, a pet or a listing to see its details and everything tied to it — requests, visits, offers. Share it by link; edit, change the status or add a related item from there.

Notices & info pages

Check-in details, benefits, updates — a page for a role to read.

Counts, totals & averages

Live figures over the records a viewer is allowed to see.

Control

Who sees which records

Each person sees their own records, the ones assigned to them, their team's or the ones they manage. Fields can be hidden per role. Generated from your description, not set up field by field.

No-Password Doors

A sign-in link by email, by default. Password sign-in if you'd rather.

Your brand

Your domain, your colours, your logo. Members see you.
