Before Logging a Case

Providing more information when you open a case is essential for effective issue resolution. Here are some questions to consider:

• Can you replicate the issue?
• What are the steps taken to invoke the issue?
• Is the issue happening with all users or specific users?
• Have you encountered a similar issue before?
• Are you aware of any recent changes to your system?

Include a screen capture of the full screen if an error message displays. Note: Avoid including confidential data in the screen capture.

Logging a Case

When creating a new case, fill in all the required fields:

1. The Case Title* should be concise but distinctive.
2. The Case Description* should be as descriptive as possible; more information helps us solve the case faster.
3. Case Type (optional) refers to the category the case falls into.
4. Severity (optional) is set to Default = S3 Medium but can be changed based on urgency.
5. An Attachment (optional) can provide further clarification; additional attachments can be added later.

You can edit cases and modify data such as Case Type, Severity, Note(s), and Attachment(s). To attach a file, create a note by clicking Add Note at the top right corner of the Edit Case Form.

NOTE: For more information on case properties, see Accessing Support.
