Category : Ticket Information

Hello everyone how many times have some of you found that you can’t log into the ticket system or you have forgotten your password? Well today I am going to talk about a new method of logging in to the tickets! Starting from now any new ticket you submit will now have a link at the bottom of the email response from the auto-response that happens when we get the ticket, that when clicked will automatically log you into your ticket and the ticket system! I put this system in because I know some of you forget your password or for whatever reason have trouble logging in and for everybody else its a convenience feature to help tickets go quicker for both parties You and Us 🙂

Until next week this is tmzasz your neighborhood webmaster.

Helpful Idea !

I have noticed a lot of problems have been happening with breedables dissapearing at auctions, some by SL roll backs, some by lag when trying to rez them, and others when taking them after purchase. When you go to an auction you have to fill out a notecard about your breedable. It only takes a little extra time to record the UUID number on the notecard.

 

Go to edit on the breedable, in the description line that is the uuid number. That number is very important and can help a lot if you need to file a ticket for a missing breedable, highlight the number and copy , paste to notecard. Doing this is like taking each one of your breedables’ fingerprints!! It can be a big time help if anything ever does happen to your breedable.

Ava’s Ticket Tips!!

TGIF!!!! Woot it’s friday! Hope you guys are all ready to enjoy your weekend! I know that i am!

A few things that i want to stress to you guys today, I know you have seen a lot of connections about how to file a ticket and what to put in the ticket.

I just wanted to give you guys the low down! So get your pen and paper and take some notes cause I am gonna give you tips and tricks on getting your ticket in and ensure a speedy solution to your problem!
1. Bundles that say “NEVER_RECEIVED_MOTHER_COMMUNICATION” or “MOTHER_HAD_SECOND_BUNDLE_IN_THREE_DAYS”
Please include parent info, not just stats, if you know the mother horse it came from please use the menu > breeding> last bundle it will say something like:
The last bundle dropped by this horse was Amaretto Breedable Bundle with the ID of XXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXX and you can include that in the ticket! If you file a ticket with a bundle like this the first thing we will do is ask who are the parents! Just include it when you file and save that time!

2. Lost horse?? Well ya gotta tell us which horse! Either by name or UUID! If your horses name was Amaretto Breedables Horse boy are you in trouble and hopefully you have the uuid! If you lost a horse in transfer let us know who was passing it to you!

3. Duplicated horses- If you just bought it or someone passed it to you please let us know in the ticket! We aren’t mind readers and cant tell oooo you just bought the horse from BOB! Go ahead and  include your transaction history from secondlife.com on these kinds of tickets!

4. Missing items? Well be sure to include your transaction history from secondlife.com we have to confirm you bought it to know you are missing it!

5. Filing tickets for horses you dont own- well first of all you shouldn’t do this!!  The owner of the horse should always file their own ticket because if your not showing as owner of a horse on our server I can’t give it back to you!

6. Keep it simple! What do I mean? Tell us your problem and be clear about it so that we can easily tell what the problem is and can get you on the road to a solution as fast as possible!

7. Ok my final tip: When sending your animals in for repair ALWAYS put in a folder with your ticket id! First of all i dont have to search it out on the ticket system. Second if you just pass me a horse not in a folder who knows where it might end up! I mean just open your objects folder and take a look! Now imagine mine!

Guys I hope you read this connection and really remember this stuff when filing your tickets if you do I promise it will cutt down your wait time because you have already provided us with the info that we needed to get your issue resolved!
Well until next time Happy Breeding everyone! I hope to see you all tomorrow at Club Amaretto @ 5 slt!!!!

Help us get it right

Why do we need folders?

 

The reason we ask for a folder with your name and ticket number on it is because it’s easier to sort and look for a folder than it is to find an object or a horse/K-9/bundle/kennel and a notecard and it helps us help you faster and more efficiently!

Now the fun part ideally we want all folders to have 2 parts to their name like so (Your SL name (no display names please) – Your Amaretto Ticket Number (i.e JJC-xxx-xxxxx)) this will help us find your folder quicker and be able to quickly find your ticket number please be sure that your ticket number follows this format: JJC-xxx-xxxxx the easiest way is to copy and paste the ticket ID from the ticket system.

 

How did I create a folder?

 

Now creating a folder is easy all you do is right click (or command click if your using a mac) in either the My Inventory folder or another folder (like the Objects folder) and click New Folder then under the folder you clicked on a New Folder will be created and ready to rename to whatever you want to name it. Once you are done changing the name it will fall in order with the other folders and be ready to add your inventory to it. After you have placed the horses/K-9s/bundles/kennels and any additional information you can add for the ticket pull our name up in search and drag the folder over to us and we will get it (even if we are offline!) and we will respond in your ticket if more information is needed or if no info is needed you will have your fixed breedable sent back in the folder described at the end of this blog

 

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT

 

A few things you need to do after filing a ticket.

 

1. You do NOT need to send a note card or an instant message to the CSR.

2. You DO need to reply to your ticket.

3. You DO need to reply in the original ticket.

4. If you do instant message a CSR have your ticket ID on hand, we talk to so many people when you randomly message we have no idea who you are. It may be awhile before we notice your IM, as we are working on fixing your breedables

5. Do NOT file duplicate tickets for the same issue.

 

How do I reply in the original ticket?

 

After you have logged in find the button on the top menu bar that says View Tickets. Once you are in this view you will see your ticket list. To view your ticket and make a reply click on the title of the ticket above the status bar for it. Once in the ticket you can post a reply in the upper right hand corner with the post reply button. Be sure to reopen the ticket or your response will not be seen

 

Please be proactive. Read every Customer Connection (that’s what we call these blogs). Know what’s going on so when you do file a ticket it’s not something that has already been addressed.

 

************IF A CSR REPLIES TO YOUR TICKET, AND YOU DO NOT RESPOND IN 3 DAYS THE TICKET WILL BE CLOSED************

 

 

Now when we send you back your fixed horses/bundles/K-9s/kennels you will get a folder like this ( in this case when i send the folder mine looks like this: Amaretto Horses/Bundles from maleficent Farshore -Repaired ) all folders from the CSR’s follow the same naming scheme Amaretto Horses/Bundles from CSR NAME -Repaired this way when you get the folder back you can use the inventory search feature to find the folder easily and be able to enjoy your fixed horse(s)/K-9s(s) sooner

 

Name that …..

Second Life has many issues, as it reminded us all yesterday, and these issues can cause duplication of breedables, disappearance of breedables, or incomplete transfer of breedables. By having your breedable named it can be very helpful especially when SL “eats” you Horse or K-9.

We need information to remake your breedable. What we need is the Name of the breedable and/or UUID number. If you leave you horse or K-9 as Amaretto Breedable Horse or Amaretto Breedable K-9 it can make it harder to find, many times impossible. The same goes for kennels and bundles.
We can only replace/remake your item if we have the information, so please take the time to name all your breedables.
Names can be as simple as using a number. It will also help you keep track and know when you are missing a horse or K-9.
When you get a bundle or kennel and you decide not to birth it, name it before you take it into your inventory. Let’s say a few weeks down the road you decide to birth that bundle, and the horse stays white and doesn’t birth. You probably don’t remember who the parents of the bundle were, but if you have named the bundle and paid attention to the bundle name before you clicked birth, you now have some information to give us that can help in finding out about that bundle. Just a precaution that could make all the difference provided SL hiccups!  Happy Naming!!

Retouching on Mother had Second…

Hi there… as we’ve been working with the support tickets and watching the group chatter I have noticed numerous mentions and concerns about bundles/kennels having the error over them stating the mother had second bundle/kennel in three days.
Example of Error Message:

Bundle:
MOTHER_HAD_SECOND_BUNDLE_IN_THREE_DAYS:5dc0a8f5-cc6d-b75f-36d3-85bcbd85ed5c:NULL:2.21

Kennel:

MOTHER_HAD_SECOND_KENNEL_IN_THREE_DAYS:Kf6ddcd9e6f5e-6e98-925d-d642f2db2455!21!1!1!1!0!0!54:NULL:1.3
Please file a ticket at http://support.amarettobreedables.com/ with Amaretto with this message.
This message usually occurs when there has been a LL rollback or restart or due to normal everyday sim lag.
A majority of the time the mother has in fact had a viable bundle/kennel already and the bundle/kennel with error can be deleted and a ticket is not needed. Twins or more are not possible. A horse/K-9 will only have one viable bundle/kennel per pregnancy.
Example of a successful bundle ID:
SUCCESSFUL_BUNDLE:c34421df-d8b0-ca67-5aff-59608c411329!9!0!0!8!0!0!0!0!0!0:NULL:2.21

Example of a successful bundle ID:

SUCCESSFUL_K9 Kennel:Kf6ddcd9e6f5e-6e98-925d-d642f2db2455!21!1!1!1!0!0!54:NULL:1.3
The only reason you need to file a support ticket for a bundle with this error message is if you did not receive the original viable bundle/kennel.
If you need to submit a ticket for this issue please be sure to include the mothers information in the ticket. Also, if you have already filed a ticket for this issue and have the successful viable bundle/kennel already. Please go back to your ticket and reply letting us know we can close the ticket.
I hope this helps clear up some confusion and help eliminate unnecessary support tickets.

*Goes back to his terminal to stare at server status numbers*

Today I would like to talk to you all about the registration/login process for the website and ticket system. As you may know both sections on the website have a separate registration / login system. Now I would like to cover both processes for you real quick.

 

Main website this is for everything but the ticket system.

 

First point your external browser (a browser other than the built in media browser inside second life) to

http://amarettobreedables.com (you need to use an external browser as the in world browsers do not work all the time)

 

Now at the top of the page click Sign up and it will take you to the account creation/registration page

Fill in your email address set the password you want twice (do not use the same password as your email or second life account) and in the profile address you have to put an alpha-numeric word in the box. You create this and it has to have at least 1 letter in it but can have letters and numbers, i.e. tmzasz1 this is for the url of your website profile page and it would look like this http://amarettobreedables.com/profile/tmzasz1 don’t put the http:// or anything else in just put what you want to be behind the last /.

Next change your time zone and language, complete the recaptcha and then read and agree to the terms of service of the site (which are located here: http://amarettobreedables.com/help/terms).

 

Press continue to go to the profile information page

 

Here you fill in what will appear on your profile page

For first name use your SL first name and for last name use your SL last name or resident if you don’t have one

Everything else on the page is optional and completely up to you if you want to fill it in.

Click save and wait for the confirmation email (should arrive within 5 minutes) and then confirm the registration and login that’s all there is to it :)

 

Now for the ticket system

 

The reason the website login does not work with the ticket system is because the systems use a separate user/password style and they can’t talk to each other.

 

Ok to register to the ticket system point your external browser (a browser other than the built in media browser inside second life) to http://support.amarettobreedables.com (you need to use an external browser as the in world browsers do not work all the time)

 

On this page in the center is a register button that looks like a red silhouette with a brown + sign on it click it to start the registration process.

 

Once you click the register button please fill in the account fields:

Full Name please use your second life name not your RL name

Email please put the email you wish to use to login to the ticket system and put a password (do not use the same password as your email or second life account) and finally fill in the recaptcha and click sign up. Once you do you will be able to login using the login box to the right of the screen about halfway down.

 

Once you login you can fill in the profile information if you choose to but it is not required.

 

After logging in at the top where it says > Home > View tickets > Submit a ticket > Knowledgebase > News > Troubleshooter click on home to go to the front page or Submit a Ticket to go straight to the ticket submit ion page.

 

I hope this helps everyone be able to login easier and clears up any confusion.

 

P.S. Ava has made 2 awesome videos that show the signup process for each part!

Website Signup – http://amarettobreedables.com/videos/7/2/how-to-sign-up-on-www-amarettobr

Ticket System Signup – http://amarettobreedables.com/videos/7/3/ticket-system

Hello everyone today I would like to cover 2 important things with the website. First is that we have noticed that some of the tickets when you submit them are getting duplicated in our system, we have determined that the cause of this is a error in the system that when you refresh the page it’s resubmitting the ticket. Now don’t worry it’s not going to get you in trouble or anything but this is to let you all know that when you refresh the page you can accidentally double post your ticket to us which can cause confusion on both ends :(. The best way to see if your ticket has an update reply is to go to view tickets and click on the title that way it ensures its fetching the ticket entirely and prevents these duplicate tickets from causing undue confusion.

Second I would like to cover a detail that I may have left out on my original post about the advertising. When you buy ad space on the website and your ad gets approved to run please be sure that if you edit ANY part of the ad to let a staff member know because the system automatically disapproves and pauses the campaign until the ad is re approved. You wont lose any of the time you paid for but the ad will not be displayed until it’s brought to our attention or we catch it as we go through the system every so often.

 

I hope these 2 bits of info will help you with your visit to http://amarettobreedables.com

 

Tickets Tickets Tickets

There are a few things that you should always include in your ticket.

 

1. Make sure your full sl name is included, and any information that you have on the horse/k-9 such as UUID, name, or if your filling a ticket about a bundle/kennel be sure to include mothers name or UUID.

 

2. All tickets are addressed on the ticket system so if you don’t log in to see the Amaretto staff reply you wont get one. We will not contact you in world and will not be able to solve issues via note card, the ticket system keeps things recorded and organized making us more efficient and able to answer tickets faster.

 

DO’s

 

** Do include all transaction history if you bought a product and didn’t not receive in world or for a horse/k-9/bundle/kennel you bought and never went into inventory,or one that has duplicated

 

** Do send all horses/k-9’s/bundles/kennels in world in a folder with your name and ticket number, as many horses that are passed to us with no name they can easily get lost in our inventory.

 

** DO answer your ticket with in 3 days or it will be closed! It is our way of insuring all tickets are answered within 72 hours.

 

** DO reply to your ticket.

 

** DO reply in the original ticket.

 

DON’Ts

*** DON”T send items or notecards to a CSR that are not in folders with you name and ticket number

 

***DON”T file a ticket on a horse/k-9/bundle/kennel you don’t own, we may ask for the horse in world and you wont be able to send it!

 

***DON”Tt file several tickets for the same issue you can include multiple issues on one ticket, the more we have the longer it takes to get to them all.

 

***DON”T im a csr in world and ask why isn’t my ticket done! We answer them in order as received and we will get to yours ASAP.

 

*** DON”T send a note card or an instant message to the CSR. You can put note card in your folder with items or respond in your original ticket.

 

If you feel that you need to instant message a CSR have your ticket ID on hand, we talk to so many people when you randomly message we have no idea who you are.

 

Doing all of these things will ensure your ticket is answered and not left asking for more info because we can usually close a ticket if all info is included!

 

 

How to reply in the original ticket:

 

After you have logged in find the button on the top menu bar that says View Tickets.Once you are in this view you will see your ticket list. To view your ticket and make a reply click on the title of the ticket above the status bar for it. Once in the ticket you can post a reply in the upper right hand corner with the post reply button. Be sure to reopen the ticket or your response will not be seen

 

Please be proactive. Read the customer connection. Know whats going on so when you do file a ticket its not something that has already been addressed.

When Filing a Ticket

When filing a ticket with “mother had second bundle” or
“never received mothers communication” we ask you for
parent information. Please don’t send the parents
send only the information which would be the UUID of the parents.
We need this information so we can find the right bundle for you.
So remember to copy down your parents UUID when getting the bundles.

*This also applies to K-9’s
