Technical Support Hourly Rateshelp icon clean

All firms that purchase DesignSmart will receive the following products and services:

  • Assistance resolving general technical support issues related to DesignSmart

Occasionally there will be services that are needed that are not covered under standard technical support. Examples:

  1. Custom modifications
  2. Development of additional reports
  3. When a computer has a problem using DesignSmart that no other computers have. In this case the issue is with that specific computer
  4. When clients delete data and we are required to restore data from a backup; and/or when we are required to manipulate data so it is correct
  5. Reinstalling server software on a client's new server
  6. Resolving any issues that may have been caused by a virus
  7. If FileMaker Pro, or third party software provided by The Smart Designer, causes a problem that requires that a work around to be developed (this happens very infrequently)
