Overview

When opening a new case for the Ex Libris content support, understanding how to use categories and subcategories is important to ensure that your request is directed to the appropriate team and resolved efficiently.

• It directs your case to the support team with expertise in the specific area of your issue, allowing for quicker problem-solving.
• Categories provide a structured way to describe your issue, improving understanding between you and the support team.
• Cases are prioritized based on urgency, addressing critical issues promptly while managing high volumes effectively.

How to Use Categories and Subcategories

1. Select a Category: You'll encounter a drop-down list of categories. These categories represent broad areas of support or topics related to the content products. Choose the category that best matches the nature of your request.
2. Choose a Sub-Category: After selecting the main category, you'll see a second drop-down list of subcategories. These subcategories provide more specific options related to the chosen category. Pick the Sub-Category that most closely aligns with your issue.
3. Provide Detailed Information: In the case creation form, there will be a section for you to describe your issue or question in detail. Be as specific as possible. Explain the problem, include error messages, and provide any relevant context. The more information you provide, the easier it will be for the support teams to assist you effectively.
