Support Resources & Operations

Scope of Support
Access to Userful Support is dependent on having an active subscription to Userful. You will not have access to over the phone support or email support without a valid support contract.
The Userful Support team proactively offers valuable services and documentation to its customers to address any inquiries related to the functionality of the software. The scope of the support regarding services and documentation include but are not limited to:
First-time installation documentation and Email/Phone support.
User training documentation including assigning display devices, creating and calibrating video walls, creating sources, etc.
Software update processes and procedures.
Display device troubleshooting and diagnostics.
Performance and playback troubleshooting.
Userful Control Center functionality and interface documentation and training videos.
System back-up and recovery features.
Licensing renewal and troubleshooting.
Hardware support and diagnostics with certified Userful systems.
API  troubleshooting and documentation. (Additional paid package required).
If you require assistance and do not have an active Userful subscription, access to this portal and its resources is free.
Generating a Support Ticket
Userful Support will provide technical assistance only to the customers that purchased the license directly from the Userful Corporation. However if the license is purchased from the partner, then the partner will provide the support instead.
Userful Support provides customers with access to a variety of ways to submit a ticket. The preferred method is to submit through the Userful Control Center - Contact Support.
Email Support
The customers can also send an email to [email protected] to submit a ticket. Please include as many relevant details (System ID, Hostname, Version of the Userful Software) as you can to help the Support Rep narrow down the root cause.
Phone Support
Customers with an active subscription can call Support to submit a new case.

Escalation Process
The Userful Technical Support Teams strictly adheres to triage based escalation paths. Within the Support Departments, escalation is provided through Tier One - Tier Three. Major bugs or critical outages are sent directly to a Tier Two and/or Tier Three Representative, with direct access to our Engineering Department for further escalation.

Sales Escalations through the Support Teams will be redirected to either Userful North America Sales, or Userful META Support.

While Userful strives to offer Support in multiple languages, there will be times where our Support Teams utilize an online translation service for email ticket communication.
