We are pleased to announce our joint accomplishment of achieving a Go-Live PACS milestone with Denton CAD. We want to congratulate everyone on their team and ours that made this moment possible. We are eager to have them participate along with the rest of our metro clients by providing input into the on-going development of PACS Evolution and future services.
Conversions are never fun or easy but often necessary especially when you are ultimately looking for mutual benefits and success for both parties.
Denton CAD, we are excited to have you back. Welcome back to the Harris Govern Family!!

What is Knowledge Base?
Knowledge Base was introduced as our one-stop Client Hub for everything you’ll need. Knowledge Base is found in TeamSupport and is aimed at providing concise, targeted training on the tools and topics that matter most to our clients.
Interested in granting your users access to the Knowledge Base without the ability to view, create or edit support tickets? No problem! Our support team can configure read-only accounts for all of your organization's end users, giving them full access to the Knowledge Base, and if desired, view-only access to your organization's ticket queue.
A Knowledge Base article can include:
- Written articles
- Video content
- Links/attachments to documentation
- Webinars/training info
Reminder - Check Your Contacts
Our TeamSupport Client Hub allows access for users in your system to gain access to create tickets, initiate chats, and explore our knowledge base articles. It is a good habit to check your user contacts annually to ensure that the appropriate users in your office have access.
As a reminder, we have Regular User Status and Light User Status. A Regular User has authorization to create tickets, initiate chats, and review our knowledge base repository. This level is generally allocated to supervisors or your IT Department based on your business process of escalating issues to Harris Govern. A Light User does not have the ability to open tickets but may explore our Knowledge Base repository. This may be a good resource for users in your office who may want to learn more.
To review your contacts in Team Support (to add/delete or modify users), simply contact support.
