Protocol for sending Network support issues

I don't know how often this happens, but when we get issues through support for network issues, please follow the following protocol.
 
Before reaching out to Alex when a client is having a network issue reaching the site:
  • retrieve the client's IP address
  • find out if the client can access the website via CODE.solutiosoftware.com
  • have the client try the issue outside of the parish/school network (there are times when a parish will mess up their internal network by overriding the Internet's DNS with custom values on their internal router)
  • gather a screenshot from the client, if possible (these can reveal a lot about their setup more than words a lot of times)
  • send Alex an email with subject: Network - SITECODE

 

Protocol for DNS change requests

DNS Records
  • first check to see if Solutio controls the DNS servers (i.e.., the Domain Manager lists Solutio by the DNS field)
  • when a DNS record change is needed send Alex an email (instead of Freshdesk/Discord)
  • subject: DNS - SITECODE - DOMAIN
  • body: the record type, host, and value in plain text (instead of images he has to re-type or extract from documents)
