First lesson in the agent series. By the end you'll know how to find help when you need it and how to access Horizon — including the per-helpdesk widget setup so Horizon shows up inside ConnectWise, Autotask, and the others.
Problem: It's 9am on a Tuesday, you're stuck on a ticket, and you don't know who to ask.
Horizon's answer: Two channels. Search the Knowledge Base for self-serve answers, or open a support ticket if it's something we need to look at directly.
Search the Knowledge Base
https://help.giantrocketship.com/portal/en/kb in a new tab.If you find the answer, you're done. If not, open a support ticket.
Open a support ticket
Fill in the ticket form. Include:
Submit. You'll get a confirmation email with the ticket number.
Where the response shows up: Replies come to the email address you used to open the ticket. You can also check ticket status https://giantrocketship.com/support-request by creating a login.
Tip: The faster you get specific (account, ticket number, screenshot, what you tried), the faster we can help. "It's broken" gets a slower response than "Ticket #4521 on Acme Corp is showing the wrong assigned tech after triage; screenshot attached; refreshing the widget didn't help."
Problem: You already have six tabs open. Nobody wants another portal to log into and another set of credentials to remember.
Horizon's answer: Horizon lives inside your helpdesk as widgets. There are two:
Where the widgets appear depends on which helpdesk you use.
Dashboard widget — "Rocketship Horizon" sidebar entry
If you don't see the entry, refresh ConnectWise or log out and back in. If it's still missing, your admin may not have registered the widget yet — open a support ticket.
Ticket widget — POD on Service Tickets
Each ConnectWise user adds the pod once. You only do this on day one.
Dashboard widget — Home dashboard panel
Ticket Insight widget — automatic on tickets
