Response and Resolution Times

 

Targeted response times depend on various factors, including:

  • Support level
  • Severity level
  • The complexity of the issue
  • The ability of the Customer (in its sole discretion) to provide data and workflow samples to replicate the issue1
  • The ability of the Customer's designated technical contacts to provide detailed information promptly and accurately as requested
  • The ability of the Customer's designated technical contacts to perform any required diagnostic tests promptly as requested
  • In the event the case cannot be resolved through typical channels and procedures, the ability of the Customer (in its sole discretion) to provide the Customer Support Team with supervised remote access to the Customer's machine on which the Alteryx Product at issue is deployed for diagnosis2
  • If applicable, the need to consult with Alteryx Engineering, Product Management, Sales, and Fulfillment for further issue resolution
  • Cooperation and maintenance of professional decorum in the mutual interest of case resolution

1 Provision of data and workflow samples is subject to confidentiality obligations between Alteryx and the Customer. A Customer may not provide personal data or other sensitive or highly regulated information to Alteryx. Customers are strongly encouraged to provide example data.

2 In the event the Customer does not, in its sole discretion (whether due to internal policy or otherwise), provide the Customer Support Team with remote access to diagnose an open case, the Customer Support Team may be required to close a case unresolved.

    • Is this issue isolated to one user or one machine?
  • Exact wording or screenshot of all issue-related error messages, a screenshot of available storage space on the drive Alteryx is installed, and any applicable log files.
  • Outline the steps to reproduce the issue or error.
