</td><td>

On the portal landing page, select the **Request Something** link.

</td></tr><tr><td id="d247532e76">

</td><td>

In the portal menu header, navigate to **Requests** &gt; **Request Something**.

</table>2.  Browse the service catalog and select **Support** &gt; **New Guided Onboarding Request**.
