As of now, staff and students with a ZIM ID can conveniently submit their IT support enquiries using the new IT support chat, which is available 24/7. ZIMI provides digital support in German and English on a wide range of IT topics and refers specifically to further information and sources at the University of Passau. Based on a large local knowledge base and in a multitude of steps, the answer is optimised for you – please be patient, as this can take a few seconds. If your issue still cannot be fully resolved, you are given the option of submitting a ticket to the ZIM support team directly from the chat.

Please visit the Support Portal to access ZIMI and for detailed instructions on how to use it.

As a new AI system, ZIMI is constantly learning and undergoing further development. Please support ZIMI by leaving your feedback (thumbs up/down in the chat or text feedback via the corresponding button in the system). Thank you!

news-41067 Mon, 14 Apr 2025 09:51:39 +0200 Changes to ZIM IT Support https://www.zim.uni-passau.de/en/news/translate-to-englisch-meldung/changes-to-zim-it-support In April 2025, IT Support will be launching new digital processes. The IT Support portal will serve as the new digital interface. Use this platform to submit tickets for your inquiries at any time. Soon, you will be able to access a 24/7 AI-powered IT support chat here.

Due to the evolving IT support structure, public access is currently restricted. Whenever necessary, appointments will be scheduled with you through the ticketing system.

Please use the appropriate form on the IT Support portal to create a ticket. Going forward, new ticket requests will no longer be accepted via email sent to IT Support.

The IT Support staff will process your ticket requests as quickly as possible from Monday to Thursday, 9:00 to 16:00, and Friday, 9:00 to 13:00. During this time, IT Support may also contact you by phone for further inquiries if necessary.

news-39823 Wed, 04 Dec 2024 14:09:00 +0100 Citavi update https://www.zim.uni-passau.de/en/news/translate-to-englisch-meldung/citavi-update-1 Do you use a computer issued to you by the University?

If so, please run the Citavi 6 package in the ZENworks software distribution service as soon as possible. You will get a new user licence and the latest Citavi version (6.19). If you are outside the university network, you will need to connect via OpenVPN first. The update has already been carried out centrally for the Citrix environment. If you encounter any problems, please contact ZIM Support.

On personal devices (this mainly affects students) you must manually activate the new licence via your Citavi account. Instructions on how to do this can be found on the Citavi website. If you need support, you can also send an e-mail to citavi@uni-passau.de.

 

Note on Citavi 7: Citavi 7 was recently released. We recommend Citavi 6 for the time being, as Citavi 7 has not yet been sufficiently tested in practice.

An upgrade of the campus portal will be carried out between Monday, 21 October 2024 and Wednesday, 23 October 2024. This is therefore not available or only available to a limited extent during this period. This means that during this period no certificates can be created or downloaded, no grades can be entered or contact details can be changed, etc. In preparation for the upgrade, an additional maintenance window will take place the week before on Monday, 14 October 2024 from 17:00 to 20:00, during which the Campus Portal will also not be accessible. We strive to keep the work time to a minimum and apologise for the inconvenience. If you have any questions, ZIM Support will be happy to help you during opening hours. Wichtige Information für alle Beschäftigte und Studierende: Das Campusportal ist von Montag 21.10.24 – Mittwoch 23.10.24 nicht erreichbar!

Zwischen Montag, den 21.10.2024 und Mittwoch, den 23.10.2024 wird ein Upgrade des Campusportals durchgeführt. Dieses steht deswegen in diesem Zeitraum nicht bzw. nur eingeschränkt zur Verfügung. Das bedeutet, dass in diesem Zeitraum keine Bescheinigungen erstellt oder heruntergeladen werden können, keine Noten eingetragen werden können oder Kontaktdaten geändert werden können etc.

Zur Vorbereitung des Upgrades erfolgt in der Woche zuvor ein zusätzliches Wartungsfenster am Montag, den 14.10.2024 von 17:00 bis 20:00 Uhr, währenddessen das Campusportal ebenso nicht erreichbar ist. Wir sind bemüht, die Arbeiten zeitlich auf ein Minimum zu reduzieren.

Für Rückfragen steht Ihnen der ZIM-Support im Rahmen der Öffnungszeiten gerne zur Verfügung.
