Overview
Oases users with an Admin login may submit a help ticket for assistance with Oases or report a concern or problem.
Due to the security of child data other access levels (Coordinator, Lead Teacher or Tutor) are requested to direct their questions to an Admin who can submit a ticket on behalf of the other user to report a problem when the Admin has confirmed that there is a problem versus user error.
For this reason we are not able to help anyone gain access to the Oases system by phone. The only person who can gain assistance accessing the Oases system by phone is the account owner and Oases will at that stage take additional steps to confirm identity.

Submission Guidelines
To help us respond to your questions faster and in the first response:
- Submit one ticket per question or request.
- Per above, please do not mix different items in one ticket. Tickets are often sent to different departments, it will delay your overall response if one item is waiting for the ticket to come back.
- Include all info for us to know what you mean. It's in context for you but not for the Support Team, we will not be able to help you as fast as we could if we know what you mean.
- Do not report issues on behalf of another user unless you understand and can reproduce the error, making sure to include the steps you have taken to reproduce the problem with examples.
- If you have two tickets open and need to respond, take care to put your response in the correct ticket. This is crucial if replying by pressing reply to an email response from us - please refrain from answering two tickets in one response.
- If you are away from Oases, email support@oases.zendesk.com to open a new ticket. Please give your email a subject of your question and type out your question. Do not forward to this email address from other ticket responses unless you want to add to a prior ticket.
- Include Examples such as session numbers, names, screen names, screen shots etc so that we may see the data for the question.
Reporting an Issue versus Help with User Errors
If you have made an error with data entry or need help sorting out a problem we can offer Concierge Service help or a Forensic Analysis on certain items. These services will be charged at $12.50 for 15 minutes and you will be asked to agree to the charges before any work begins.
