If you have any questions while working with empower®, you can open the Help Center. This will take you to the empower® Support Website, where you will be able to find an answer either through the articles provided or through the tutorials.

The Help Center will open in your default browser (Figure 3, “Help Center”).

If this does not help, you can contact the empower® Support directly by opening a new ticket at the top of the home page and describing your problem.

A new window of your primary e-mail application will open, already addressed to the right recipient.

Report a Bug

If you encounter any issues that might be a bug, click on the button Report a Bug.

Depending on the configuration in your empower® Environment, clicking on the button Report a Bug will lead to:

  • Creating a new e-mail via your primary e-mail application and automatically attaching a .zip file (empowerInformation.zip).

    The e-mail has a preset subject line (e.g. Bug report for Sheets) and is already addressed to the right recipient.

  • Opening a new window in your default browser (Figure 5, “Report a Bug in Help Center”).

    In this window, you have to enter various information about yourself, as well as the bug you want to report. This information is relevant for the empower® Support so that they can respond to it in the best possible way.

Your descriptions as well as the file attachment will help empower® replicating the error and analyzing the case to conclusively deliver a near-term solution.
