Problem Reporting Details


Best Practices: 

  • It is normally best to report only one problem per email. (Don't make the emails overly complicated).
  • Be polite and say thank you!
  • Add any relevant urls, but make sure to take the proxy out.
  • An automatic confirmation email will arrive shortly. It is a good idea to keep these, and any subsequent emails, in a designated folder to keep up with what is pending. You may consider forwarding Serials Solutions emails to the Serials Solutions Follow Up Trello board.  Also, you can put a tickler in the record if it is something that will need follow up. Note: You may need to request access to access the trello board.
  • Subsequent emails can be routed to eSerials.
