There may be times when you need help using Spektrix. This article will outline the different ways you can get Support.

You can get Support through a number of channels, but these fall into two main categories:

  • The Support Centre: The Support Centre provides comprehensive information about Spektrix. It is quick, easy to access and available 24/7.
  • Submit a Support Ticket: If your query isn’t covered by our Support Centre, you can submit a ticket directly to our Support team.

 

The Support Centre

The Support Centre is accessible on your browser at:

Support Centre Account

No matter which channel you use to submit a Support Request, our Support Team will create a Support Centre account using your email address. You don’t need to use your Support Centre account to access content or submit a request, however it will allow you to check the status of your support requests at any time.

With a Support Centre account, you can:

  • Respond to any replies from the Support Team
  • Solve and close out any requests

After submitting your initial ticket, you will receive a Welcome to the Spektrix Support Centre email with a link to Create a password. Click the link and follow the instructions to create your password.

TIP: You can also sign-up for an account before submitting a ticket. On the sign in pop-up, click New to Support Centre? Sign up and follow the instructions to create an account. You will receive a Welcome to the Spektrix Support Centre email with a link to Create a password.
