Information

A support request is considered Severity 1 when the issue is related to one of the following scenarios:

• Complete Outage: The system is completely inaccessible or unusable.
• Core Functionality Defect: The system is accessible, but a core function is completely unusable and there is no non-manual workaround for the issue.
• Data Loss: The issue has caused or will likely cause a material loss of data in the near future.

 

Best Practices for Reporting Severity 1 Issues

• Always use the web portal for reporting Severity 1 issues.   Please help us to categorise your issue accurately by explaining how your issue meets the criteria for a Complete Outage, Core Functionality Defect, and/or Data Loss.
• If you need to follow up on an already-reported issue, then you can do this via the web portal or by calling us 
• When your call is answered, please immediately inform the agent that are calling to follow up on a Severity 1 issue, and provide the ticket number.
• If your call is not answered and you leave a voicemail, please leave your ticket number in your message.  
• If you are a Platinum customer you may be prompted to press 1 in the IVR (Interactive Voice Response) if you have a Severity 1 issue.
