Common questions How long does it take to respond to new cases? Cases are assigned a unique reference number the moment you save them. They will usually be assigned to a technician the same working day, or the next working day if raised after 4pm Monday to Friday. Cases will be investigated accordingly and you will receive an update within the time scales associated with the priority level and business impact you entered when raising the case. Why can I not raise Critical or High priority cases online? Critical and High priority cases are to be used only when a customer is completely unable to operate their business due to a problem with the software such as being unable to access it. Due to this level of urgency, we ask that you contact the Support Team by phone so we can resolve the problem as quickly as possible. Cases logged as Critical or High without a validated business impact to justify the priority will be changed to the appropriate priority. Can I close a case online? If you wish to close a case online, simply use the Add comments to case option to advise that you wish to close it. Where relevant, please advise if the solution offered resolved the problem, along with any other useful information. This will help us to provide a quicker resolution for any other users who may be affected by the same issue at a later date. What if I don't fill in the required details or simply don't have all of the necessary information? As per our usual requirements, we ask that before cases are raised online or by telephone, all users carry out their own investigations including any necessary troubleshooting to help resolve the issue. This includes searching the Known Issues database and Ask Sage before raising a case. If you raise a case with insufficient detail or where it is evident that there has been little or no troubleshooting, we may refer you to these resources or ask that you investigate further in order to provide the necessary details so we can then proceed with our investigations. Why can't I amend a case? If the case has been closed for more than 14 days, it has passed our re-open deadline and cannot be amended. Please raise a new case and include the original case reference number in the subject field so we can pick it up where we left off. Why can't I see my support update? If we’ve had to send you an email with an attachment, then this doesn’t show in Case Management for security. The prior case update should tell you, that we’re going to send an email. If you haven’t received the email then either; update the case and ask for it to be resent, or contact the Support Team. The case is assigned to a colleague who doesn’t work for us anymore. The MySage admin within every partner, is responsible for letting us know when colleagues leave the business so we can update our records. In these cases please let the support team know and we’ll change the contact over to someone within your business. Alternatively if you have a central support email address we could assign the ticket to that email address.
