Send support request emails from Freshdesk or cc HMISsupport@end-homelessness.org so there is a searchable record of the request and the issue/solution are easily shared with the HMIS team.


Send an email immediately if the system is down, unreachable.


If a user reports an issue, 504 or "octopus page," incorrect reporting results, etc.

  1. Get as much information from the user as possible to recreate the issue. Only report issues that we can verify/recreate. Get on a screen share with the user if unable to duplicate.
  2. Document the process: as you work to verify the issue save screenshots, exact steps to create the issue, browser type and version, reporting criteria etc. Include as much detail as possible. 
  3. Work with the HMIS team to determine if the issue can be resolved without tier 3 (BF) support.
  4. Send email from Freshdesk or cc HMISsupport@end-homelessness.org if tier 3 support is required.
