Support Process

The following are the triage steps for support resolution

1. Submission of support request

   1. Auto acknowledgement email confirming we have received your request

      1. 

   2. If you don’t receive an (almost) instant reply from our system with a TICKET-XXXX in the email, it means we have not received your request and are unlikely to action it. The typical reason is you have not been setup in our support desk (please see earlier about registration)

2. Issue and Priority Assignment

   1. Within 30 mins (business hours) your Issue will be assigned to a support consultant and priority assigned and you will receive a confirmation email with those details and when you can expect a further response

   2. If you feel the priority level is not appropriate please reply stating your desired priority and rationale
