If you are experiencing technical issues with the essensys Platform, your essensys network, your services, or if you simply have a question that you want us to answer, you can raise support cases direct from your portal. Once raised, these support cases are monitored and handled by essensys, and you can add comments and attachments as and when you need to.

Tip: Before you raise a support case, you may want to:

Talk to your occupier admin (if you are an occupier user) to see if they know how to resolve your issue.
Investigate whether you can resolve your issue yourself, with the help of the knowledge base.

Support Tasks

You can use the Support page in your portal to:

View support cases.
Raise a new case with support.
Update support cases. Provide additional information (comments and attachments) for cases that are already in progress.

View support cases (Open Support page)

Open the Support page and review cases or check on their progress.

From the main menu, click Support.
The Support page opens. A list of all of the support cases raised by this occupier is displayed in the main editor.
Optionally, filter or search the cases using the controls at the top-right of the page.
For more details, see Search and Filter.
Important: The filters apply cumulatively, meaning that if you pick a site and then "my cases", you will see your cases at the selected site only.

Tips:

If any description takes up more than the space available, it is truncated and an ellipsis (...) is displayed. Hover your cursor over the ellipsis to view the full description.
To view more details of an open case, or to add comments or attachments, click on the row representing the case to open its details.

Raise a new case with support

Log a new case with essensys support.

From the Support page, click New case.
The New support case page opens. For details, see New support case.
Specify the details of your case.
You need to indicate which site your case relates to, categorize the case by selecting options from the Case area and Case reason drop-down lists, and describe the case in full in the Subject and Description fields.
Tip: The Subject is the first information seen by another user, and is used for text searches of the cases. It is, therefore, very important to ensure that it is clear and concise.
Click New case.

The new case is raised. The support team at essensys are notified, and will respond to your case within the times agreed in your SLA.

Tip: You might want to add attachments or more details after your case is created. For instructions, see Update support cases.

Update support cases (comment and add attachments)

From the Support page, click the row representing your case.
The Support case details page opens. You can see all details in full on this page, including any comments and their attachments.
Add your new comment:
1. Type your comment into the text field at the bottom of the page.
2. If you also want to add an attachment, click the paperclip, and then select the file that you want to add.
3. Once the text and file are specified, click Add comment.

Your comment and links to any attached files are added. These additional details can be seen by other portal users, and by essensys.
