    [How to file an Amara support ticket]
  • 0:09 - 0:12
    Tickets are the correct way to report
    problems and bugs with Amara.
  • 0:14 - 0:17
    You can send your tickets
    to tedsupport@amara.org.
  • 0:18 - 0:19
    When you file a support ticket,
  • 0:19 - 0:22
    it's important to include
    all the necessary information
  • 0:22 - 0:25
    that will help the support team
    follow up on your request,
  • 0:25 - 0:27
    and investigate the problem.
  • 0:28 - 0:32
    So, here are the key ingredients
    of a good support ticket or bug report.
  • 0:36 - 0:37
    Use a descriptive subject.
  • 0:38 - 0:41
    Let the engineers know
    what your ticket is about
  • 0:41 - 0:43
    in a concise subject line.
  • 0:43 - 0:46
    [I cannot submit my work]
  • 0:48 - 0:50
    Where were you when the problem occurred?
  • 0:52 - 0:56
    Was it the dashboard, the editor,
    or maybe the profile page?
  • 0:56 - 0:59
    If possible, include a URL.
  • 1:00 - 1:03
    Describe the normal or desired behavior.
  • 1:04 - 1:06
    What were you expecting Amara to do?
  • 1:07 - 1:10
    Then give details
    of the abnormal behavior.
  • 1:10 - 1:13
    What happened
    instead of what you expected to see?
  • 1:14 - 1:18
    Provide a detailed list of actions
    that produced the observed behavior.
  • 1:19 - 1:22
    What steps did you take
    before the unexpected event happened?
  • 1:23 - 1:25
    Your description of these steps
  • 1:25 - 1:28
    should allow the support team
    to replicate exactly what you did,
  • 1:28 - 1:31
    and achieve the same result
    to test the issue.
  • 1:32 - 1:34
    Also, don’t forget to mention
  • 1:34 - 1:36
    the talk title and the language
    you are working in;
  • 1:37 - 1:39
    your Amara user name;
  • 1:40 - 1:43
    your operating system
    and your browser version;
  • 1:44 - 1:47
    and if possible, include screenshots
    that illustrate the issue
  • 1:47 - 1:52
    or a file with the subtitles,
    if uploading or downloading was involved.
  • 1:54 - 1:56
    After you submit your ticket,
  • 1:56 - 1:59
    allow a few days for
    the support team to review it,
  • 1:59 - 2:02
    and make yourself available
    for follow-up questions.
  • 2:03 - 2:04
    And don't forget:
  • 2:04 - 2:07
    only report one issue per ticket.
