Technical Support

If you require technical support to resolve an issue, then please follow these guidelines:

 

Who Can Request Technical Support

Typically, we recommend that only your firm’s System Administrator contact technical support. This is because the System Administrator can often resolve the issue more quickly and easily. However, if urgent  support is required, then any staff person in your firm can contact us.

 

Requesting Immediate Support for Urgent Issues

If an issue arises with DesignSmart that requires immediate attention, then please call our technical support number to speak with a support person. To read more about what constitutes and urgent issue, please click here.

 
The support phone number is (800) 604-2504 Extension 2

 

Requesting Support for Non-Urgent Issues

The preferred method for requesting support is to send an email to Support@TheSmartDesigner.com

All staff are automatically sent these emails and they are automatically entered into our support ticket tracking system.

 

How to Receive the Best Support

1. When emailing a support request, include a screen shot of the issue whenever possible and if you think it will help us see the issue.

2. The screen shot should include the entire screen so we can see the project number and project name and the item number.

3. Make red lines or other notations on the screen shot if it would help explain the issue.

4. Please indicate if the issue is intermittent or occurs consistently.

 

Send all emails to Support

Even if you know your project manager's email address, it is important to send all support emails to Support@TheSmartDesigner.com rather than to your project manager's email address. This will ensure that all support staff see the email and can respond if your project manager is unable to do so.

 

Response Time

Our office and support hours are from 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM Central time. We try to respond to all support emails within 1 business day.

 

 


tip_icon If we don't respond to your email within one business day, or if you would like to speak to someone about any support issues, please email BusinessManager@TheSmartDesigner.com to let her know you are waiting for a response. Or you may call her at (800) 604-2504 Ext. 2
