Information on Specifying A Default Call Home Contact

Specifying Default Call Home Backup Contacts 

If you are an account administrator, you can specify a single contact for each of your accounts who will act as the coordinator for cases opened through IBM's call home feature. IBM will work with that person if no other contact is available based on information provided to IBM. This contact can be either a single person or a group email list. Anyone listed as the default call home contact, including all members of a group list, should have the role of Full or Administrator.

To specify a call home contact:

  1. Log into the Support site (https://ibm.com/mysupport), then click the profile icon in the top right corner of the page, and then log in with your IBMid.
  2.  From the profile icon menu, click User Administration. Only users with the Administrator access level can access this menu item.

  5. In the Choose a Contact field on the Call Home Contact window, search for and select who will become the call home backup contact, and then click Save. The contact you select displays in the table on the User Administration page.
