View Existing Cases
To view existing support cases (cases you have created, as well as cases you have been CC’d on):
- Sign in to the Support Portal with your Verato Support Portal credentials.
- In the top right corner, click your name, and then click Cases.
- Under My requests you see all support cases that you have submitted; under Requests I’m CC’d on you see all cases created by others from your organization for which you have been CC’d.
- Click the Subject of a case to open the case details and activity history.
You see all cases in these views regardless of their state, including cases that are open, waiting for your (or Verato’s) action, as well as any closed/archived cases.
Update Existing Support Cases
To update existing support cases:
- Sign in to the Support Portal with your Verato Support Portal credentials.
- In the top right corner, click your name, and then click Requests.
- Under My requests you see all support cases that you have submitted; under Requests I’m CC’d on you see all cases created by others from your organization for which you have been added.
- Click the Status dropdown menu to see cases that are Open, Awaiting Your Reply, or Solved. Tickets with Awaiting your reply status indicate that Verato has responded to you and is awaiting your response to continue the troubleshooting process.
- Click the Subject of a case to open details.
- Type an additional comment in the field provided or upload an additional file for the attention of your Verato Support Agent.
Posting a comment or a file immediately notifies your Verato Support Agent. Similarly, when your Verato Support Agent posts a comment on your case, you receive an email notification.
Alternatively, you may reply to the notification email directly, and your response is automatically appended to the support case.
Close a Support Case
Once a support case has been resolved, the support agent marks the case as Solved. When a case is marked as Solved:
- After approximately 24 hours, you will receive a short email survey asking you to rate the support you received for that case.
- After 4 days, the case moves to a Closed state and can no longer be updated. You will, however, have the option to Create a follow-up case. This option can be seen at the bottom of the closed case.
Prior to the fourth day, you may post a new comment on the case. If you do this, the case moves back to an Open state and immediately notifies your support agent.
