Reporting Errors and Providing Feedback

For assistance contact support@todaysystems.com. Forward all problems and suggestions via e-mail.

Your assistance in providing detailed and reproducible problem reports is essential to quick turn around on fixes. Besides the obvious cases, please use these guidelines:

1. Instructions on how to reproduce the problem.
    
2. If possible relate your problem case to the bphrx test application instead of providing your own code.
    
3. Always test the problem using the internal developer service. As this process runs entirely in the foreground, you will get the best error details.
    
4. If the problem is related to a Repository Instruction, provide the instruction request and reply.
