Searching the Helpdesk
When Alden Support notices common error messages or issues that our users have, documentation for dealing with those problems is added to the helpdesk. Before creating a ticket, it would be wise to search through the helpdesk in case the solution to your issue is already posted.
1. Go to the Support portal https://support.aldensys.com
2. Click on the “Solutions” tab.
3. Type in some keywords to describe your error or issue.
4. If you see a help item that matches your problem, click on it and discover how to resolve the issue.
Creating a Support Ticket via Email
Instead of creating a ticket through the support portal, you can also create one when you email Alden Support directly. We prefer you to create tickets using the support system, but some situations may require direct email ticket creation.
1. Send an email to Support@aldensys.com
- Be sure to include steps to reproduce the issue and as much information as possible. Screenshots of any error messages that come up are extremely helpful as well.
- Below is an example of a poor email that does not include enough information.
