Steps For Reporting An Issue

To report an incident preventing access to a CCCTC systemwide technology application, or an issue disrupting operation of an application as designed for most users, should be reported as soon as possible using the steps below. All issues and requests for support are triaged by a college staff support representative during support hours of operation and escalated as necessary.

 

  • Step 1: Visit CCCTechnology.info and search to see if the issue has already been reported. Site moderators may have posted information about a support ticket in-process and/or a status update with a recommended solution or workaround during support hours of operation.

  • Step 2: Capture details about the issue you are experiencing and include a screenshot of the error page message or onscreen behavior to include with your request. If the issue has not yet been reporting, these details will be critical in identifying and resolving the issue. If the issue has been reported, these details may still provide insight for the support engineers working on the issue.

  • Step 3: Report the issue, along with your browser and operating system Information, to CCC College Support by email staffsupportccctc@openccc.zendesk.com. For best results, follow the Tips for Reporting Issues below to ensure fast and efficient troubleshooting.

Support Issue Triage

Every issue reported via the online community support site CCCTechnology.info is reviewed and triaged by a CCCTC college staff support representative* to determine the level of severity and identify whether the issue is related to a single college or if additional colleges may be affected.

If an issue is determined to prevent access to an application or service, or impedes operation by the end-user as designed, the issue is escalated to Tier 2 support and a Zendesk ticket is created. The Zendesk ticket will remain open during troubleshooting and is not closed until the issue is either resolved or escalated to Tier 3 (which includes product management).
