Description

I am trying to use the online chat support service in my Higher Education platform, but am not able to.

What should I do?

Resolution

1. Do you see the chat icon in the persistent menu?

If chat should be available for your institution - ask your system administrator to provide you the Chat with Support user role. See here for details.

If the role is not available in your institution, please open a Support case by clicking the Submit a Case button to going directly to the Support Center https://support.proquest.com/

2. Is a chat agent available to chat?

Chat availability hours are published in the following article - Chat Support Availability

If no agent is currently available, please open a Support case by clicking the Submit a Case button to going directly to the Support Center https://support.proquest.com/.

3. Click the "Chat with an Agent" link, nothing happens or an endless spinning circle is displayed
