Standard Operating Procedure : Troubleshooting TV Issues Reported by Schools

Purpose:

This SOP outlines the steps for identifying, documenting, and troubleshooting TV-related issues reported by schools to ensure timely resolution and minimize downtime.

Procedure:

1. Issue Reporting on HubSpot:

  • All TV-related issues must be logged on HubSpot by the Customer Support Team.
  • Ensure each ticket includes:
    • Detailed description of the issues.
    • School’s name, contact information, and suitable time to contact school.
    • In case it's a hardware issue CS team to initiate trouble shooting and record the session. In case of IT team involvement required for troubleshooting. IT SPOC will be available in the notice of 5 to 10 mins

NOTE: After troubleshooting if the issue still persists, then the CS team should move the ticket to the IT team with Video Recording of that Gmeet session.

2. Initial Troubleshooting by Customer Support:

  • Gmeet sessions will be created by the CS team when a school reports TV related issues and it should be shared in the WhatsApp group wherein IT team is also available.
  • The Customer Support team should perform the basic troubleshooting steps already shared with the team (e.g., TV reset, checking power sources).
  • Gather preliminary information and any visible symptoms of the problem.
  • If it's a Hardware issue wherein IT involvement is required the CS team should add IT team in the same session for quick resolution.

3. Documentation Requirements:

  • Customer Support must collect and upload the video and along with the image of the issue on the same ticket.
  • Ensure images and videos clearly show the problem on the TV.
  • Include the serial number of the TV in the ticket details for tracking purposes.

 

4. Escalation to IT Team:

  • Once initial troubleshooting and documentation are complete, the ticket should be assigned to the IT Team for further investigation.
  • The IT Engineer receiving the ticket should acknowledge it within 1 hour and review all documentation shared by the CS team.
  • If the POC shared by the Customer support team is not responding to the call even after 3 attempts with 1 hour breaks, mention the same in the ticket and move the ticket back to Customer Support.
  • All the call attempts made should be documented on the HubSpot ticket.

 

5. Basic Troubleshooting by IT Engineer:

  • The IT Engineer will conduct the following steps:
    • Contact the school and request them for 15 to 20 minutes of their time to diagnose the issue.
    • Share the Gmeet link to school and ask them to join on their mobile phone and open camera.
    • Start recording the meeting.
    • IT Engineer must record the complete troubleshooting performed and also the serial number of the TV in the same Gmeet recording. 
    • Perform the diagnostics as mentioned in the Troubleshooting steps.
    • Document all steps taken in HubSpot.

6. Resolution or Further Escalation:

  • If the issue is resolved, the IT Engineer will close the ticket, including a detailed resolution summary.
  • If additional support is required, 
    • IT Engineer or the Team Lead will share the recording along with the school name, issue description, TV brand and Serial number to the vendor on a separate email. It is mandatory to not include third party on the hubspot ticket.
    • If vendor is available during the call with school, share the Gmeet link with them so that multiple calls to the school can be avoided and improve resolution TAT.
  • If the TV is damaged due to external interference (physically damaged) then it will not be covered under warranty. Inform the school and their CSM that in this case we advise the school to consider purchasing a new TV as the cost of the Display panel is around 80% to 85% of the cost of a new TV, excluding service charges. 




  • Resolution Time
    • Tickets must be resolved or escalated to the vendor on the same day it is received. 
    • In case school is not ready for support or is requesting to postpone troubleshooting call, resolution time will increase and the same should be documented on the Hubspot ticket and inform to CSM.

Responsibility:

    • Customer Support: Initial troubleshooting, documentation, and ticket creation.
    • WH IT Team: Advanced troubleshooting, issue resolution, and escalation if necessary.
    • Team Leads: Initiate email with Vendor and follow-up with resolution.
    • Aditya Satyendra Gupta,Ankit Pandey: Updating and maintaining the tracker for every ticket raised.
