Support limitations

  • The support provided by the Alliance is limited to issues related to the setup, configuration, and operation of Ed-Fi software components.
  • Support is offered to the community "as-is." Limitations include:
    • Requests may not be resolvable efficiently or at all due to the expertise of support consultants or the inability to replicate conditions that exist in the field.
    • Responses on U.S. holidays or outside of Central Time working hours may experience delays.
    • We strive to respond and offer help quickly, but large or fluctuating community volume may impact our ability to do that.

About Ed-Fi Tracker

Tracker is the system that Ed-Fi uses to track issues and work items across its software development projects and programs. Tracker has many different projects. Support tickets in the EDFI project will often result in new tickets in other projects, linked back to the EDFI ticket.

You can follow those other links/tickets to see how the issue is being addressed in an Ed-Fi software project or in an Ed-Fi program. You can also make comments in those other tickets..

Note that while all community members are able to view and comment on tickets in many of the software development projects, the EDFI project is the only point of entry for community requests.
