Helpdesk Tickets

To manage helpdesk mails we use a so-called ticketing system. This system assign a number and a priority to your request and insert it into the right queue.

In every mail you receive from our helpdesk you will find:

  • in the subject a unique ticket number. Please when replying do not remove it from the subject, since we use it to associate emails with problems, and use it if you need to refer to the problem.
  • at the end of the message, just above the signature an indication of the priority assigned to the ticket. To understand the priorities please see the table below.
Priority Response time Solution time Description
Very High 2h 4h Problem affecting directly or indirectly all users
High 2h 8h Problem affecting a large group of users
Normal 8h 2d Problem preventing a single user to do his job
Low 3d 5d Problem not critical
Very Low 5d undefined Problem not critical and requiring further development

The times should be intended as a declaration of intent, rather than a guarantee. The solution time, in particular, is strongly dependent on many factors, some of which are independent from our will.
