Introduction: The Support System is a means of communicating with your Practice Administrator (or Franchisor) and your System Provider from your Desktop or other Browser Device without leaving the system and wherein you can report any faults or raise a query. It is used in conjunction with another external facility called Go To Assist which Logs all the details of your current outstanding queries or fault reports, the responses from your System Provider and also the history of previously submitted Incidents. You can also use the facilities of Go To Assist directly to report faults or enter queries outside of the main System.
