• 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.

• Licencing renewal and troubleshooting.

• Hardware support and diagnostics with certified Userful systems.

If you require assistance and have not paid for extended support from Userful, 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 (and fastest) method is to submit through the Userful Control Center - Contact Support (under Settings).

Submitting Trouble Reports

• Access your server through cloud.userful.com

• Open the Userful Control Center

• Click on Support

• Click on Report a Problem

• Fill in the required fields

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 who have purchased Gold Support have a facility to call Support to submit a new case.You will receive a notification on the confirmation of your request and the case will be assigned to a Userful Technical Support Rep. Please note that the response time frame depends on your level of support and the priority of the case

Technical Support Tiers

Depending on the Userful Support product purchased, there are differing features and varying support levels. The types of Support included with each package are outlined below, along with general response times.

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.

Language 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.
