When you've tried debugging and searched the Community but still haven't found a solution, it's time to open a Community support request. To ensure you get the help you need, it's important to post your request in the correct topic. Here’s a guide on where to raise your support requests within our platform. Main Topics for Support We have two main topics for support requests: Academy Q&A The Academy Q&A Topic can be used by anyone in the Academy to get support on their course. Quantexa Platform Support Quantexa Platform Support is for anyone seeking Developer support - this could be queries related to upgrades, error messages, potential bugs, or best practices for your project etc. Raising a Support Request Navigate to the correct forum. Select Ask a Question. Fill out the support request form thoroughly. For detailed guidance on how to raise a good support request, refer to our next article, where we cover best practices and tips for creating clear and comprehensive support requests. By posting in the correct Topic and providing detailed information, you’ll ensure your queries are addressed efficiently and accurately by the right Community members and Support Teams. Please see the article Quantexa Support Channels for a full list of support options available.How to Write a Good Support Request
Writing a comprehensive support request allows accurate assistance from Community members and will ensure there are no delays in receiving support for your query. The below guide will walk through how to create comprehensive and clear support requests that will facilitate prompt and precise responses. See our Example Q&A: Is it possible to display selected-edge-details in an entity-to-entity perspective? for a comprehensive example of a Q&A. Although you can open multiple related queries, treat each one as a standalone question because different teams or Community members may handle them. Each time you raise a new post, fill out all the details comprehensively. If you find that you’re writing the same information each time, save that information so you can easily fill out the required fields in future requests. Example of a Good Support Request Let’s take a quick look at an example of a good support request: 1. Clear Title Example Title: "Is it possible to display selected Edge Details in an Entity to Entity perspective?" This title is effective because it includes specific keywords that clearly relate to the question and its components. 2. Detailed Description In the description section, provide as much detail as possible. Include: Objective: What you are trying to achieve. Context: Details of your setup, such as the type of environment you’re working in, recent upgrades, or any custom aspects of the project relevant to your query. Steps Taken: The path you took to arrive at the issue. Observations: What you’re seeing, including error messages, if any. Visual Aids: Screenshots or snippets of error messages are extremely helpful. Example Description: "I want to display selected edge details in the entity-to-entity perspective. I recently upgraded our system to version 2.5.2, and we have customized the interface extensively. Below is a screenshot of the current UI and the error message I am encountering." 3. Support Type Specify what you want from the post. This could be: How to configure a product feature Confirming if a behaviour is expected or a potential bug Seeking product advice on the best approach or best practice Upgrade support Example Support Type: "I want to understand the best approach to displaying selected Edge Details and confirm if the current behavior is expected." 4. Version Information Include detailed version information: Both major and minor versions. Version numbers of any other services or tools relevant to your query. Example Version Information: Platform Version: 2.5.2 Detection Packs Version: 3.1.0 Other Tools: Elasticsearch 7.10 5. Debugging Steps Detail the troubleshooting steps you’ve already taken. Include: Logs you’ve compiled. Links to Documentation. Related Community posts. Example Debugging Steps: "I have checked the logs (attached below) and consulted the Community posts about UI display issues but haven't found a solution." 6. Code Blocks If applicable, include code snippets directly into the provided code block. This can be done by clicking on the three dots on the right hand side of the formatting toolbar, and then selecting the {;} icon. A pop-up box will then appear in which you can insert your code, with the option to select the coding language used. 7. Tags Tags are like behind-the-scenes organizers that help categorize Community posts, making it easier for SMEs and other Community members to find those relevant to them. A list of tags will be available for you to choose from - select the relevant ones for your post. Please be sure to include: Components Version 8. Posting the Query Click "Publish" to post your query into the relevant platform topic. Sharing Sensitive Information As queries are visible to other Community members, we do not permit the sharing of sensitive information including any Personally Identifiable Information (PII). If you need to share sensitive data, please indicate this in your post and member of the Support Team will reach out to organise how to share this information. For more information please see the Quantexa Community Conditions of Use. Tips and Tricks Here are some additional tips to ensure you get the answer you're looking for as soon as possible: Be Specific: The more specific you are, the easier it will be for others to understand and help. Stay Organized: Structure your request clearly with distinct sections for different types of information. Follow Up: Keep an eye on responses and provide additional information if requested. By following these guidelines, you can raise support requests that are clear, detailed, and helpful, ensuring quicker and more accurate assistance. Demo
