Definition of a Service Request
A Service request is defined as assistance with a single support issue relating to the use or installation of a Novell product, regardless of the number of communications required. A single support issue is defined as a problem that cannot be broken down into subordinate problems.
Example: Customer states that users are only intermittently receiving their workstation policies and applications being distributed by ZENWorks. The root cause may or may not be a ZENWorks issue and the solution may involve several causes but it is a clearly stated problem and is considered a single support issue.
Level/Scope of Support
- Level 1 Support means problem determination, including provision of compatibility information, installation assistance, usage support, and basic troubleshooting.
- Level 2 Support means problem isolation, including efforts to duplicate customer problems, isolate a problem area and provide resolution for problems not resolved by Level 1 Support. Resolution may include reasonable work-arounds.
