1. Go to sums.gatech.edu and log in using the log-in button in the top right corner.
2. Close any pop-ups requesting information
3. On the left of the screen will be the navigation bar with an icon of a computer with a wrench and screwdriver. This is the IEN Support icon.
4. If you are an IEN staff member or research scientist and do not see this IT support icon, please send an email to jason.herrrington@ien.gatech.edu to have this function enabled.
5.  After your account is created, you will be able to click the icon and enter your request for IT support or new hardware.
