Question & Answer

Question

What information should I collect for issues to help the support team with their investigations?

Answer

Customer-provided background information helps the support team to investigate problems and saves time when resolving customer support cases.

When you raise a support case for Cúram, you must provide the minimum set of information in the "Minimum Information required for every support case" table.

In addition, you might need more more information for the specific type of problem you are reporting, depending on the nature of the case, the part of the product affected, and the symptoms observed.
