Exchange of information about support issues
Each time you report an issue, we exchange the following information with you:
- We give you an identification number that is used to reference your specific issue in the future.
- You should give us the following information in order to help us efficiently diagnose your issue:
Definitions of issue priority
Each time you report an issue to us, we categorize it by the priority of the issue and the potential impact to you. These are the guidelines we use to categorize the priority of each issue:
Escalation requests
Transferring the issue to another Technical Support Engineer is called "escalation."
Technical escalation
You may request that another Technical Support Engineer handle your issue. When issues are escalated, they are usually (but not always) transferred to a Technical Support Engineer who has more experience handling issues of that type.
Include the following information:
- Your ticket number
- The reason for escalation
- The expected priority of the issue
- Additional contact information, if necessary
Technical Support Engineer management escalation
You may request escalation to a Technical Support Engineer manager or leader in the event an issue is unresolved after a reasonable amount of time, or if support tools, process, or experience don't meet your expectations. A Technical Support Engineer manager:
- Evaluates your request as quickly and efficiently as possible
- Determines an appropriate action
- Communicates the decision to you
The manager may ask to have a direct conversation with you. Your issue may be transferred to another Technical Support Engineer, depending on the manager's decision.
