What if I Have Problems?

If you have any problems or questions during acceptance testing, or ideas that can improve Author-it further, our friendly helpdesk team are here to assist.

To Log a Support Call:

1. Press the Help button and choose Log Support Call.

   -or-

2. In your Internet browser, go to the Help desk page.

   You'll need to type in your email address, and password. If you haven't registered on the Author-it website, you'll need to do this first. Select the Register Here link and follow the wizard. Make sure to enter a valid email address as an email is sent to that address to activate your account.

3. Tell us your problem, question or suggestion. Please log only one issue in each call, so we can pass them easily between the appropriate people on our team. The Help desk system has a Log Another Call button that makes logging multiple calls faster.
4. If you're logging a problem, please write exactly what you were doing and where, so we can quickly find an answer for you - without a flurry of emails seeking and supplying more details. Paste the text of any error messages that appear. To solve a problem we often need to reproduce it - so if you can describe exactly what steps we have to take, that helps too. Think of it as a procedure that you're writing (Step 1 - open Author-it, then open the Library called XYZ, Step 2 ...). The more you tell us, the easier it is for us to help you swiftly.
5. Write a brief Title which says what the call is about, in as few words as possible. If necessary, we may change it (especially if you type a job title in that field instead).
6. Click on the Log Call button. You'll get a confirmation that the call has been successfully logged (and an email will also follow). Note the call number. You can log another call if you need to by clicking the Log Another Call button
