Tech Support Timesaving

Hal Hope
  • Updated

When creating a new support request, providing some key information at the start may save significant time in helping us troubleshoot your issue. 

Open a new ticket: https://support.studionetworksolutions.com/hc/requests/new

1. Essential Information

When reporting an issue, please include the following:

  1. When: Time of the event (and your time zone).
  2. Context: 
    • What led up to the behavior, and how was it exhibited? 
    • Were there any recent hardware/software changes?
  3. Fix Attempted: What steps were required to recover?
  4. Environment: 
    • Did the behavior affect one user/workstation, or multiple (at the same time)?
    • Mac and/or Windows? 
    • What applications were in use at the time?
  5. Reproducible: Can the behavior be reliably repeated?

     

2. Attachments

Screenshots, recordings, and/or log packages can be especially helpful.

Upload all files here: https://spaces.hightail.com/uplink/sns-support

Note: Reference an existing ticket number if available. For a new ticket, just mention files have been uploaded, and the support team will locate them.

 

3. Remote access

If possible, remote access to view the behavior may also save time. The SNS TeamViewer QuickSupport client is available at https://snsftp.com/guest/remote/client.html. Please provide the numeric ID shown in that screen to the support ticket, and ensure unattended workstations will not sleep.
