[TR] 4.1 How do you get information & files for error reports?

1. Check if the report already exists on JIRA

• Training: [TR]: How do you look up error reports on JIRA?

2. Then ask for the information/files we need

If the users' error report can’t be diagnosed or resolved based on the information/files they provide in their initial Support Request, please ask them to provide the following information/files if needed:

2.1: The exact Lumion version.

2.2: Clear steps that show us how to replicate the problem.

2.3: A Diagnostics Report if it looks like a driver/hardware issue or a lack of memory:

• Knowledge Base: How do you provide a Diagnostics Report?

Another very useful report which also provides information on the software in use is the Windows System Information Report. 

1. Windows Start or Windows Search 
2. Type in "System Information"
3. Select the System Information app
4. File Save to .NFO file.

Note: Currently we do not ask for this in the above article, although I'm (Peter) thinking we should as we now use it quite often.

2.4: An Error Log file, which is Lumion's log of events.

• Knowledge Base: How do you provide a Lumion Error Log file?

Note: If the user has Lumion 11.3 or newer and follows the steps in the 'How to provide a Diagnostics Report' article, the error.log file will also be generated along with the .dxdiag and an abbreviated diagnostics for key PC details.

The files will be created in a folder named 'techsupport' (located in the Lumion Documents folder) ready for the user to zip and send to us so we have the key reports in one go.

2.5 Ask them to send us a download link if they need to upload files that exceed 50 MB:

2.6 If the errors relate to importing then see:
