Support Process

eSkilled Support Process

Before lodging a support request, we urge all clients to visit our Knowledge Centre to find tutorials on how to complete most functions in the eSkilled LMS, you can access our knowledge base by clicking HERE. We find most clients will find the answer they need here without needing to wait for a support response.

If you are unable to find the answer or have a critical support need, all support requests should be lodged through one of the two support ticket processes below:

This can be done in two ways:

  1. You can email your support requirement or query to support@eskilled.com.au
    You can lodge a Support Ticket by clicking HERE.
  2. The Diagram to the Left outlines the support process from lodging your support ticket to resolution.

The Help Centre is monitored 9am-5pm(AEST) Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays), requests for support outside of these hours will be actioned during the next applicable business hours session.

Free Support Priority Definitions

LMS Maintenance

Fixes: Security and bug patches will be applied as required when available.

 

Maintenance: eSkilled will provide maintenance services to the system and clients will be made aware of any scheduled maintenance at least 24 hours ahead of time, except in the event of emergency maintenance that is required to protect and maintain the security and integrity of the system.

 

Updates: Where updates have been issued as a matter of High priority, eSkilled will notify you within 4 hours of receiving such notifications, on a business day, and work with you to schedule a suitable time to perform such fixes.

 

Backups: eSkilled understand that the backup and maintenance of data for servers is critical to your viability and operations. It is essential that certain basic standard practices be followed to ensure that data files are backed up on a regular basis.


Procedure: eSkilled utilises industry-standard software to control the Backup Process. The Systems Support team ensures that all backups are completed successfully and reviews the backup process on all servers daily. Logs are maintained to verify the amount of data backed up and the unsuccessful backup occurrences.


Backup Content: The content of data backed up varies from server-to-server. The primary data that will be backed up are:
Data files designated by the respective owners of the servers and in some instances System Data (Applications files for the server and other selected software installed on the server).

Data to be backed up will be listed by location and specified data sources. This includes a full copy of your database and any theme or code-based changes to the site.


Backup Types: Full daily backup which will include all files relative to the function of the site and the data stored within it. Data backups take place at a scheduled time outside of business hours. Special backups may be made for longer retention periods during special situations such as system upgrades and major projects and will be subject to request which may attract additional charges.
