iDashboards is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. The following topics would be included for Technical Support and Professional Services. Please Note: This is not a comprehensive list of all topics but instead is a general guideline.
In general Tier 1 topics are related to the following:
- Common iDashboards topics that are resolvable after training and by reviewing various iDashboards resources.
- Common computer issues related to database, network, operating systems, and general information technology areas.
In general, Tier 2 topics are advanced iDashboards issues and bugs.
In general, Tier 3 topics often require in-depth research and time to resolve or escalate to development.
Technical Support versus Professional Services
Technical Support is only responsible to provide assistance to ensure standard iDashboards products operate correctly. Any topics outside of this scope will be handled by iDashboards Professional Services. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Dashboard/chart design and creation (Storyboarding)
- Data structure design and build
- Product training
- Custom application development and enhancement
iDashboards Technical Support and Professional Services will NOT answer questions related to pricing. Pricing questions should be directed to your iDashboards Client Success Manager.

Self-Support
This is designed to assist users in finding answers to the questions on software functionality and solving minor problems independently without contacting iDashboards Support. Using this access to OSKAR for self-support will decrease the number of simple repetitive tickets Tier 1 Support receive and consequently their load declines. This allows Tier 1 Support to know you have ALREADY viewed the articles on OSKAR and still have questions or need further assistance.
