Technical Support for InstantAtlas

Authorised Callers

Support cases must be submitted via My Esri or the over phone and for this you will need to be an Authorised Caller. An Authorised Caller is a designated individual who may contact Esri UK online or by telephone to request Support. Your My Esri Administrator has the ability to manage your organisation’s allocation of Authorised Callers.

Your Authorised Callers must be prepared to provide your Esri customer number and as much information as possible regarding the issue being reported, such as the version of the software and operating system affected, steps to reproduce the problem, and the exact text of any error messages.

The Esri UK Technical Support Team handle cases for many different software products, so please be as specific as you can when raising your question or issue. Please provide links and screenshots where appropriate.
