SUPPORT TICKET INFORMATION

CM First needs to duplicate customer issues in our own environment. Customer is responsible for providing:

1. Document or video with steps to duplicate including screen prints
2. Include information on browser, version, and operating system
3. Workspace and models
4. If possible, create a test model that does not have database access. If database is required we will need the database and connection information.
