Helpdesk Support

If you are unable to find the answer to your query within our Documentation site, then the next step would be to raise an issue to our Helpdesk. We will cover the basics of that process here.

Submitting an Issue

Once you have chosen the relevant category for your request, we require as much information as can be provided to effectively help with your issue.

You can either keep this request private, meaning only you will receive notifications on any updates to it's status, or share it with the rest of your organisation (if setup within the Helpdesk) to make all other users aware of the issue and able to participate if necessary.

Below outlines the workflow requests could take (except Feature Requests).

SLAs

First Response

We aim to initially respond to feature requests within 3 working days, and these are considered regularly by our development team for implementation.

For all other requests we aim to respond within 1 hour during working hours. Resolution time is dependent on the request and priority. Once a ticket is picked up our 1st line will triage it to determine it has been correctly categorised and will re-categorise where necessary.

Resolution

The grid below shows the categories each ticket type belongs to, the image shows the category, priority which will then determine the estimated SLA.
