IT support request form template
This six-step IT support request form asks the device, the kind of issue, the operating system, how urgent it is and any details, followed by the contact details. Clone it into your Growform account and add your service levels.
What the form asks, step by step
A technician can triage most tickets from the device, the operating system and the type of fault. The urgency step sets the priority before anyone reads the details.
-
Step 1: “What type of device are you having trouble with?”
Desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone tells you which technician picks up the ticket.
-
Step 2: “What kind of issue are you experiencing?”
Hardware, software and network problems follow different troubleshooting paths.
-
Step 3: “What operating system is your device using?”
Windows, macOS, Linux, Android or iOS narrows the fix before the call.
-
Step 4: “How urgent is your issue?”
Critical requests can be routed to the on-call technician straight away.
-
Step 5: Details
Users can paste error messages or describe what happened just before.
-
Step 6: “How shall we contact you?”
Name, email and phone come last.
-
After submitting
Users see the default thank-you, which a help desk can rewrite to state its response time for each urgency level.
Who it’s for
IT support companies, computer repair services and internal help desks use this template as their IT service request form. Each request arrives with the device, the operating system, the fault type and the urgency, which is enough to assign the right technician. It suits businesses whose staff would otherwise email vague messages that need several replies before work can start.
Why this structure converts
- Users who are not technical can still answer, because “Not sure” is offered for the issue type.
- Urgency is chosen by the user, which sets expectations about how fast you will respond.
- The details step comes last, when the user has already described the problem in structured terms.

-
Create tickets automatically
Connect the form to Zendesk, Freshdesk or Jira Service Management so each request opens a ticket with the answers attached.
-
Add a screenshot upload
A file upload on the details step lets users attach screenshots of error messages.
-
Correct the macOS spelling
The operating system options read “MacOS”. Change it to “macOS” to match Apple’s own spelling.
