Things to Consider When Creating a Support Case

Before submitting a support case for your Microvellum software, consider the following points to ensure a more efficient and effective resolution:
  1. Documentation & Resources: Review the Knowledge Base for documentation that may provide a resolution to your question or issue.
  2. Error Messages & Details: If you encounter error messages, note them down exactly as they appear. Include any specific details about the issue, such as when it occurs, what actions trigger it, and any recent changes to your software or system.
  3. Relevance: Ensure that the issue you're facing is directly related to the Microvellum software. Sometimes, problems can stem from other software or hardware components.
  4. Version & Updates: Check that you are using the latest version of the software. Updating to the latest release may resolve the issue. Conversely, if the problem started after an update, make sure to mention this.
  5. Steps Taken: Document the steps you've already taken to try and resolve the problem. This can help support personnel understand your issue better and avoid suggesting solutions you've already attempted.
  6. Impact: Describe the impact of the issue on your work. If it's causing significant disruptions or losses, make sure to emphasize this.
  7. Screenshots or Videos: If possible, include screenshots or videos that demonstrate the problem. Visual aids can greatly assist support staff in understanding the issue.
  8. Prior Support Cases: If this isn't your first support case for the same issue, reference any previous cases and their resolutions. It can provide valuable context.
By considering these points and providing detailed, relevant information in your support case, you can help expedite the resolution process and ensure that the support team can assist you effectively.
