Hi @jsimfukwe

I see no available slots on the virtual helpdesk. Is there some kind of error or just complete unavailability?

Thanks,
Albert

Hi Albert,

Thank you for reaching out. We are opening new availability slots for the virtual helpdesk. If you need assistance, I can arrange for a one-on-one session with one of our experts once I have their availability confirmed. Could you please help me by describing what sort of assistance you require?

Hi James,

Thank you for your disponibility to help me. I would like to have a one-to-one section to discuss two current problems we face here: 1) Data Processing Queue (in which I have tried everything - except the solution - to deal with importing failures via Connect, losing some packages of data) and 2) Remove a data null from a report in which audio is loading with images, but cannot be displayed (I’ve tried to solve this with BIRT, without success yet).

A slot would be enough to address the two scenarios, and I would greatly appreciate it if you could connect me with one of the experts.

Thanks a lot!

Hi @jsimfukwe, have you had the chance to look at my response? Thank you!

I dont see any option to sign up.

Hi @jsimfukwe , I too can’t see any available slots to choose from. Is the Helpdesk operational?

Hi all,

We will be sharing new slots for the personalized SMART Support on the forum.

Thank you in advance for your patience.

James
