Support Triage and Prioritisation
Critical Bugs
All potential bug tickets should be reported to .moc.mrcrevonah%40troppus You will be provided with a unique reference number for future correspondence on the issue. For it to be considered a critical bug it must meet one of the following criteria:
● Your Hanover CRM instance is down, it cannot be accessed by all users● It is determined that one of the following functionality elements is non-functional for all users of a specific Hanover instance, or across multiple Hanover instances:
- Host/Partner/Participant Registrations- Host/Partner/Participant Log-in- Placements- Contracts- Training Plans- Monitoring and Evaluations- Payments/Invoicing- SEVIS Batching- Automations
We will respond to all requests stating whether the criteria have been met. For bug tickets that meet the criteria, action will begin immediately to resolve the issue with an anticipated resolution time of up to 3 business days.
Other Support Requests
For other support requests that do not meet the critical bug criteria, or there is uncertainty over whether the above criteria are met, the request will go through a triage process, and resolution will be on a best-effort basis, however, you should not expect a resolution before a minimum of 10 business days.

Our Triage Process
At Hanover CRM we strive to respond to critical and high priority bugs in a timely manner. As a result, we triage bugs carefully to ensure that we can prioritise the resolution of issues based on their importance to our clients. The below table describes our triage process.
