About Filling in the Description

When you create a support ticket, you can help our team address your issue quickly by providing as much information as possible. Our Support team does not know your system and it may be the first time they are on your site. Providing more complete information helps us provide a one email resolution instead of coming back to you with requests for additional information.

Here are some questions to consider when completing the “Description” field for your support ticket.  We have provided some unrelated answers as examples to show the level of detail requested.


  • Are you in the middle of upgrading to migrating to version 4?  If so, your issue is about which site?
    We are in the process of upgrading from v3 to v4L.  This question is about v3.

  • What is it supposed to do and what is it doing?
    We have a custom report “Immunization Record” that we developed under ABCD-100 and I added a new column “COVID Booster” to the list called “Immunizations” but it is not showing in the report.  Here’s the link to launch the report, and here’s the link to the Immunizations list.

  • Was it behaving differently before and has changed?
    Our Email Alert Manager item 14 is sending out unexpected email notifications. We received the first report on December 2nd and have received several since.  Here’s the link to the configuration. This alert has not changed configuration since 2018.

  • Is the issue about a specific user or individual?
    When Jane Smith, a supervisor, logs in, she is unable to see Cindy Loo in her list of individuals in the “People In Care” portal.  She needs to see every individual her direct report staff can see. I have checked that she has permission to “Children Services” and that she is the supervisor of the staff member, Amanda Brown, responsible for Cindy Loo. Her username is user.name and password is Share123.

  • Is the issue concerning a standard list that you have renamed?
    We have renamed our Profiles list and it is now called “Supported Snapshot”. On our site, the profile information can be seen at this link.

  • Did you have to navigate to see the issue?
    To see the issue, navigate to the affected page on the site through the “Individuals” tab at the top, selecting “Robert Smith” and then picking the “Daily Log” on the vertical link and looking at the log entry for “10/18/2021”.

  • Did someone else report the ticket? If so, can you reproduce it?
    This issue was reported by one of our managers, Jenny Chan, and I am able to reproduce it when I am logged in as a manager, but not as an admin. I can’t figure out what is wrong with the manager's permission. Here’s my test manager user.name and password is Share123.

  • Is this issue on a specific computer or a specific browser?
    It doesn’t matter who is logged onto our shared computer but they are unable to see the timesheet page.  The browser on that shared computer is running the latest version of Edge.
