Support ticket submission - How to create a high-quality support ticket

  • Updated

When submitting a ticket, the form will guide you through the required fields.

The quality of the information provided has a direct impact on how quickly and accurately your ticket can be handled. Well-structured tickets reduce back-and-forth communication and allow Support to begin working on your issue immediately.

 

Before submitting a ticket

Before contacting support, please:

  • Check relevant documentation and Help Center articles
  • Test the issue in the latest version
  • Try to reproduce the issue

👉 In many cases, this helps resolve known issues immediately and avoids unnecessary delays.

 

Where to submit a ticket

All support requests must be submitted via the Boyum Portal.

👉 Please use the portal to ensure your request is correctly registered and routed to the appropriate team. 
If you're new to the portal, please refer to this guide.

 

What makes a high-quality support ticket?

A good support request clearly explains what you are trying to achieve, what went wrong, and how it impacts your business.

The most effective tickets typically:

  1. Describe the issue in a clear and concise way
  2. Include the steps needed to reproduce the problem and the result and expected result
  3. Provide relevant context such as environment, affected users, and frequency
  4. Include screenshots, logs, or error messages where relevant

Providing complete and precise information from the beginning allows Support to start working on the issue immediately, rather than requesting additional details.

 

Why business impact matters

All tickets are handled based on priority and business impact - not urgency or preference.

Ticket priority is the primary driver of how urgently your request is handled. This means that both the selected priority and the way you describe the business impact directly influence how your ticket is prioritized.

 

Understanding ticket priorities

Tickets are handled according to their priority, which reflects the level of business impact.

Priority

Typical impact

Example

Urgent Critical impact Business operations stopped, no workaround available
High Significant impact Multiple users affected, key processes impacted
Normal Moderate impact Limited number of users affected
Low Minor impact Small inconvenience, workaround available

Final note

A well-structured support request is often the difference between immediate investigation and additional clarification. Providing clear and complete information helps us prioritize correctly and resolve issues faster - both for you and for other customers.
