Update to Support Site URL
Posted by Ben Scott on 19 October 2012 01:52 PM

We are pleased to announce the switch of our support site web address. This has changed from www.soilsupport.co.uk to www.itmsoilsupport.com.


 

Please do not worry. Accessing the old URL will redirect you to the new site which has all the same great features including Knowledgebase's, support tickets submission and much more!

 

This change has been introduced to bring the support site into alignment with our company's corporate identity and to associate with our main website www.itmsoil.com.

 

Please note: Older links, from previous tickets and emails, containing "soilsupport.co.uk" in the URL, will redirect to our main page www.itmsoilsupport.com. This can be corrected either by logging into the support centre and navigating to the ticket or knowledgebase manually. Alternatively replacing the "soilsupport.co.uk" part of the URL with "itmsoilsupport.com" will achieve the desired result.

 

For example:

http://www.soilsupport.co.uk/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/148/14/sweep-ranges-for-various-loggers-and-readouts

 

Would now require to be changed to:

http://www.itmsoilsupport.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/148/14/sweep-ranges-for-various-loggers-and-readouts

 

On behalf of all the Technical Support team we thank you for continuing to use our support centre and look forward to supporting you in the future.

Improvements of our In-Site software have again primarily been based on customer feedback and also to allow further compatibility with other itmsoil data presentation software.

Please find below a list of both new features and improvements that have been introduced to In-Site v2.11.18

Improvements:

  • Upgraded graphing resolution in the Report function
  • Rebranding of the software to improve aesthetics
  • Improved scaling function of graphs to allow quicker and easier scaling of the Incremental and Cumulative graphs. Incremental graphs can now be scaled by clicking on the X axis.
  • Many other functionality improvements

New features Include:

  • Export data into a format accepted by our online presentation software ARGUS
  • Introduction of two new languages for In-Site which can now be selected on start-up, the three available languages are English, German and French.

itmsoil Support - Remote Support Tool
Posted by Ben Scott on 24 September 2012 09:49 AM

In our continuing quest to deliver the highest quality support for our clients itmsoil are pleased to announce an improved support tool that allows our support engineers remote access to your PC to help guide you through various issues.

 

Link: http://www.soil.co.uk/downloads/Run%20for%20itmsoil%20Support.exe

 

If one of our support engineers believes it would be beneficial to connect in to your PC they will request the tool is downloaded directly from the itmsoil support website, which can be found in the knowledge base section Support Centre and Servicing >> Support Software. This can be immediately run, with no installation required, we will then be able to connect in and help with your issue. Once the program is closed we will no longer be able to access your PC.

 

This type of access allows for quick diagnosis and resolution of various issues. This can be especially useful with inclinometer related issues where the PDA can also be connected to your PC to allow our engineer the ability to be able to investigate the system remotely.

Even though we are releasing a new version of In-Site, our development of In-Site doesn’t stop. We have many new and exciting ideas for In-Site which we hope will be available for release in the near future.

Please find below, a short list of some improvements and new features that have been incorporated into In-Site v2.9.2

• Many other functionality improvements

New Features

• Ability to plot metric data in imperial graphs and imperial data in metric graphs, as well as In-Site recognising the data type and plotting the graphs accordingly.

• Advanced graphing features. Allowing the user to click on the graphs scale and customise the scale for each individual graph, cumulative, incremental & Plan view. Giving the user much clearer reports.


If your a current user of In-Site we hope you are happy with the improvements. If you wish to upgrade to the latest version of In-Site please do so by downloading the upgrade file from the following location:

~ Support Centre Newsletter June 2010 ~
Posted by James Kwist on 11 June 2010 04:49 PM
~ Support Centre Newsletter June 2010 ~

We are fast approaching the end of the second quarter for 2010. Soil Instruments Web Based Customer Support Centre was launched in January 2010 and we are pleased to announce it has been very successful. Thank you to all our customers who have taken the time to register with this service and provided useful feedback. To date we have received over 120 user registrations!

To ensure you benefit fully from our support centre Soil Instruments will issue Support Centre Newsletters detailing recently added Downloads, knowledgebase, & trouble shooting articles along with useful tips on using the support centres features.


~ Recent downloads, knowledgebase, & trouble shooting articles ~
The support centre is a tool we are keen to evolve over time to meet your requirements. Soil Instruments will continue to update its content as frequently as possible, with the content mainly being driven by the issues raised in new support tickets.

The most recent additions focus around the Soil Instruments Digital Inclinometer Systems. With PDA setup guides and downloads, along with In-Site error code articles and software upgrades.


~ Features explained ~
With each newsletter issued, we would like to take the opportunity to further explain a couple of the feature within the Support Centre. We hope these will prove beneficial when using the system.

Registering multiple members.
A single registration on the support centre allows the user to login and view all their individually submitted support tickets. There is no restriction on the number of people within a company that can register on the system. Some organisations may have multiple users who use the support centre. If requested Soil Instruments can group these users into a user group to release a number of benefits. A group can be configured so all users assigned to the group can see all tickets submitted by each group member. Alternatively, a single member can be set as the manager of the group and only the manager can see all tickets submitted by group members. These settings allow for a more cohesive approach to contact Soil Instruments for support. It also allows fellow colleagues to track the progress of a support issue, offer input and advice or manage a support issue if the originator is away on leave.


Ticket reference number and its importance.
In order to get the full benefits from the support centre it is recommended to log into the system via the web interface. However, once a user has created a ticket and has an ongoing dialogue with the Soil Instruments engineer, we understand that responding to the ticket from your email account is more convenient. We have therefore made it possible for users to respond to tickets directly from their e-mail accounts. In order for this feature to work, it is very important that the user retains their unique ticket reference number within the subject field of the e-mail. The ticket reference number will be in the following format [#ABC-123456] providing this reference number is within the subject header of any e-mail sent to support@soilsupport.co.uk the e-mail will be saved under the appropriate ticket and the user will get response from their assigned engineer. Removing or failing to input the ticket reference within the subject header could result in a possible delayed response or duplication of support from Soil Instruments.

Here at Soil Instruments we are committed in providing the best after sales support service possible. We believe that the Support Centre is helping us achieve this goal. We hope that the support centre will become a key tool for all our customers to help aid in the use of our instrumentation.

We welcome any feedback from our customers and believe this to be important in helping us provide the best support we can.

We thank all our customer for their continuing support and repeat business.

Kind Regards
