Issue Reporting:

If you come across an issue or bug, please report it to support@6connect.com. 

Here are some steps that you can perform in advance to gather data or troubleshoot prior to sending a report:

1.  As soon as an issue appears, grab screenshots! 
   • Getting screenshots of the ProVision error and related areas (e.g., affected resource or module, Javascript console errors, log errors) helps us pin down the source of the issue more quickly
2. Read through "Initial Troubleshooting Steps", below, and note any that you have already tried and the outcome
3. Review the "Sending Help Requests" section and gather the information listed to provide in your email to support. You may copy and paste the provided template, if desired. 

Initial Troubleshooting Steps

Here are some initial troubleshooting steps that are useful to try prior to sending a support request, and that may fix the issue entirely:

Browser:

• Reload the page ("Soft Reload")
• Clear your browser cache and reload ("Hard Reload")
• Try Incognito / Private Browsing mode - this can fix any clashing javascript occurring client-side
• Check against a different browser - some bugs or display issues are browser-specific

ProVision:

• Verify whether the error is reproducible, and whether it also occurs on other similar resources / servers / aggregates
  • This helps us determine whether the error may be a corrupted database entry vs. a wider bug
• Confirm that relevant module settings are set correctly for the desired behavior (i.e., check IPAM Column visibility settings for a missing column, DNS push settings, etc.)
• Check against user permissions - does the user have correct permissions for the action? Can an admin level user successfully perform the action?
• Does the error show in Admin→ Logs? (screenshot if so)
