Id recommend new serverplus customers get walked through the issue tracker view of the DTs, Id make that non optional and require sign off. The flowcharts just dont cut it, seeing what the serverplus folks see makes a world of difference.
As a new customer, I did ask about what they see, but probably not in a way intake understood what I was asking. Would have saved on some rage and a near fistfight here at the shop.
