Open support tickets with the Lyncat Niu team, track them and reply right from your school dashboard.

2026-10-17

Before you start

  • Both directors and educators can access it.
  • The list shows every ticket from your school, including those opened by someone else on your team. You never see tickets from other schools.
  • Before opening a ticket, take a look at the Help Center: many questions are already answered there with step-by-step guides.

How to get there

In the sidebar, under the Help section, click Support.

Step by step

Open a new ticket

Open the Support section

In the sidebar, under Help, click Support. You'll see the list of your school's tickets with a counter per status (Open, Responded, Closed) and the All / Incidents / Ideas filters.

Click Open a ticket

Press the Open a ticket button, top right. A new page opens, Open a support ticket, with the form. If you don't have any yet, the button also appears in the middle of the empty screen.

Choose the type

  • Incident — something is broken or needs an urgent response.
  • Idea or improvement — you want to suggest a new feature or improve something.

Choose the category

Pick the one that fits best: Error / bug, Question, Billing, Feature or Other.

Write the subject and the description

Add a clear subject (between 3 and 200 characters) and a description (between 5 and 5,000 characters; there is a counter under the field). The more specific you are —what happens, what you expected and the steps you took—, the faster we can help.

Attach images (optional)

Under the description, click Attach images and pick the screenshots or photos that help explain the problem. On a computer you can also drag them into the box or paste a screenshot into the description with Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on Mac). The ones you pick show as thumbnails, each with an ✕ to remove it before sending.

You can add up to 5 images per message, in PNG, JPG or WebP format and up to 10 MB each. Don't include student or family data. Only images are accepted: no PDFs or other documents.

Send the ticket

Just above the button you'll see a box, Sent with your identity, with your name, your email and the school name. Click Send ticket: you go straight to the ticket you just created, and we'll notify you by email when we reply.

Truc

To show us what you see, you don't need to save the screenshot as a file: take it with your system and paste it straight into the description with Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on Mac).

Track and reply to a ticket

Open the ticket

In the list, click any ticket to open it. You'll see the full conversation: your messages and the replies from the Lyncat Niu team.

Add a reply

Write your message in the Add a reply field and click Send reply. If you want to show us something, click Attach images, next to the reply; it works just like when you open the ticket. When you reply, the ticket is marked as Open again so your reply reaches us.

Only the person who opened the ticket can reply to it. The rest of the team can read it, but any attempt to send a reply returns an error; in that case it is better to open a ticket of your own.

Look at the images in the conversation

Each message, including the first one, shows its images as thumbnails. Click one to see it larger, move from one to the next and click Download to save it. The Lyncat team can also reply with images.

Important

Once we close a ticket, no more replies can be added. If you need new help about an already-closed topic, open a new ticket.

Ticket statuses

  • Open — you sent it (or replied) and it's awaiting our response.
  • Responded — the Lyncat Niu team has answered and is waiting for your reaction.
  • Closed — the conversation is considered resolved. You don't close tickets; we do, once the topic is settled.

What to do if...

I can't find the Support button in the menu. Make sure you're signed in to the school dashboard. The Support section is inside the Help group of the sidebar.

I want to attach a screenshot or a document. You can attach images, both when you open the ticket and when you reply to it (Attach images). Documents can't be attached: take a screenshot of the part that matters and attach that.

The photo I attach is rejected as HEIC. From an iPhone it uploads with nothing to do, because the phone converts it to JPG. From a computer, save it as JPG or PNG and attach it again.

It warns me that the school's storage is full. Images count towards the school's storage. You can send the ticket or the reply without images by clicking Send without images, or free up space and try again.

The ticket shows as Closed but the topic isn't resolved. Open a new ticket explaining that the problem continues; you can summarise or link the previous ticket in the description.

Frequently asked questions

Who receives the tickets I open? The Lyncat Niu team. They are not visible to the families at your school.

How do I know I've been answered? You'll get an email notification and the ticket will move to the Responded status in the list.

Can I reopen a closed ticket? Not directly. Open a new ticket; if you like, reference the old one in the description so we have the context.
