How to create a support case

Tags

1. Why create a case?

If you detect a problem on the platform or the mobile application, you can report the problem from the ermeo platform, by creating a case. This will allow you to trace the problem and track its resolution over time.

This guide will assist you with logging cases with Causeway Support using our dedicated Customer Community Portal.

All customers will require access to the Customer Community Portal.

A login to the Community can be requested by clicking on the ‘Request Login’ button and  submitting your details. Once your details have been verified, you will receive an email  confirming that your request has been accepted and you will be asked to select a password to  login.

Please note that a request for a login to the Community can only be requested via this method.  We can not accept requests over the phone.

Once you’ve logged in, the Home Page will look very similar to the previous screen. However, there is now a new option at the top called ‘Cases. You will also notice that the Top Articles on  the right-hand side now has a more extensive list of results.

2. How to raise a new support case?

Step 1: Click on ‘Cases’ in the top menu bar to take you to the case home screen. From here you can consult all your existing cases. To raise a new case, click on ‘Create Case’ in the top right-hand corner.If you wish to track cases created by your colleagues as well, please contact your account manager to activate this access.

Step 2: A new screen will appear asking you to confirm which product the case is for. Please ensure you select the correct product as this will determine what information you will need to provide. Depending on the product, there may be some product specific questions which will be  mandatory. In addition, there are a few fields to complete, some of them being prompts for  information, however only the following fields are mandatory:

  • Impact - Default is medium and is determined on the number of users affected:
Impact
Definition
High
Whole or multiple organisation(s), department(s) or site(s) affected
Medium
Group of users
Low
One user affected
  • Urgency - Default is medium and is determined on how much functionality is lost:
Urgency
Definition
High
Total / severe loss of business functionality
Medium
Partial loss of business functionality
Low
Minor issue that does not impact business functionality

The combination of impact and urgency will confirm the priority of the case when logged with  Causeway Support.

  • Subject – Please make the subject as unique and meaningful to the issue as possible.
  • Description – Please provide us with as much information as possible. If you can attach a screenshot etc., this can be done using the ‘Upload File’ function in the next step of the form.

3. How to view/ update a case ?
