How Do I View and Respond to Support Requests?
Introduction
The EIS Gateway includes the functionality to allow users to send messages to the EPA
concerning any number of issues. Called Support, this functionality was developed to
ensure a consistent method for sending and tracking issues that relate to the Emissions
Inventory System process. This section of the EIS User's Guide addresses how to
interact with your requests and requests sent by other users.

-------
The EIS Gateway:
J Your Entry into the EIS
How Do I View and Respond to Support Requests
Step 1:
From within the EIS Gateway, you will see on the left side of the page a heading entitled
"Support." Under this heading, select the option "View Support Requests."

Step 2:
After you have selected the View Support Requests options from the main page, you will
be presented with the support requests grid. Depending on your user type, you may only
be able to see certain requests. For instance, State, Local, and Tribal users will only be
able to see the support requests that were submitted on behalf of staff members from their
agency while certain types of EPA users will be able to see all of the support requests,
regardless of who submitted them.

Step 3:
All of the messages appear in the grid as the default. At the top of the grid are two boxes
that allow you to filter on the request type. You can filter on the request status, on the
