Introduction
To give us a deeper understanding of your environment, please share some technical details about your deployment and roadmap. Below is a list of questions to get you started. The answers to these questions will give us a greater insight into your deployment and prevent the need to ask these same questions with each ticket.
Please share this information with us by raising a ticket and attach any other useful information that you can share, such as deployment diagrams.
Thank you in advance for your information.
