How to Find Tech Solutions using the Client Portal

This article explains how to search for answers using the Client Portal. The portal is useful for finding “how to” information about a specific tech topic, such as how to add a mailbox in Outlook or change your MFA settings if you have a new phone. 

 

Basics

  1. Start at Middlebury’s Client Portal — go/helpme/ 

  2. Click the “Search the client portal” field at top right (shown below under Search Tips), then type a word or phrase.  Results with these words in the title will appear as you type.  Press Enter/Return to see a list of results that have these words in the title and/or content.
