Answers to most Marlin Tyre and Mechanical Workshop Software questions can be answered by reading the Inform Guides.

Other software and some hardware issues (depending on coverage), can be raised with the Megabus Support Team by submitting a Support Ticket.

Support Tickets can be logged using the Marlin Client Portal, which can be accessed by selecting Help > Log a Support Call from the Marlin menu bar or clicking here.

By default, the Marlin Client Portal shows the following widgets:

• Welcome, which shows the current user and contains links to refresh the portal and access separate client portal help documentation.
• Search, which can be used to find tickets by title, description, or ticket number.
• Tickets, which shows information about open and closed tickets as well as options to submit a new support ticket.
• Open Tickets, which shows information about support tickets that are still being addressed by the Megabus Support Team.
• Tickets Created and Completed by Month, which shows a graph of the support tickets created and completed in the last month.
• Open Tickets by Request Type, which shows a doughnut graph of open tickets, organised by type.

Logging Support Tickets

Support tickets are electronic records of service requests that have been submitted to the Megabus Support Team.

Open tickets are currently being addressed by the Megabus Support Team.

Closed tickets have already been resolved by the Megabus Support Team, but can still be viewed or reopened if necessary.

The types of support tickets that can be logged are:

• General Request, for any issue not covered by the other types of Support Ticket.
• Hardware Issue, for issues relating to hardware malfunctions (e.g. printer malfunction, slow computer).

• Sales / Quote Requests, to request purchase information (e.g. for new services, users or replacement hardware).
• Site Down / Cannot Trade, for issues (including software issues) where Marlin cannot connect to a database, preventing trading.

• Software Issue, for software related issues (e.g. errors, programs not behaving as expected).
