How Do I Access Technical Support?

Technical Support Portal Functionality
All Agent-Assisted technical support issues are managed through the DrugPak Technical Support Portal web application located at https://support.screenhubb.com.
The Technical Support Portal is designed for full functionality from any web browser, allowing you to:
  • Manage your contact information
  • Add authorized users
  • Create new support tickets
  • Modify existing tickets
  • Attach files to tickets and download files from tickets.
Some, but not all DrugPak Technical Support Portal web application features can be accessed via email or telephone.

Email-Based Support
When used properly, the DrugPak Technical Support Portal’s email interface is a convenient method to communicate with the DrugPak Technical Support team. All email-based support is processed through a single email address: support@drugpak.com
This singular e-mail address is used to route all of your customer service and technical support requests into your account history in the Support Portal. There, all communications can be centralized and available to team members in DrugPak’s support, sales, and administrative teams.
Important Note: Email-based technical support is only available via the DrugPak Technical Support Portal email address support@drugpak.com. This Policy prohibits you from sending emails regarding specific Technical Support issues directly to individual DrugPak staff members, or to any other other email address on the drugpak.com or screenhubb.com domains. Violating this Policy limitation will result in significant service delays and is likely to interfere with the quality and continuity of DrugPak Technical Support Services.

Email Preauthorization
In order to manage technical support tickets via email, your email address must be associated with an authorized user within the DrugPak Technical Support Portal.
When tickets are updated by DrugPak Technical Support support agents, all authorized users attached to the ticket will receive an update via email. When you reply to such an email, your response will be appended to the ticket history. It is important that you do not modify the subject line of the original email, otherwise the system will not be able to route your response to the appropriate ticket, which may result in significant delays. Any files attached to a ticket by DrugPak Technical Support agents will NOT be forwarded to you via email.
To create a new technical support ticket, you may send an email to support@drugpak.com, and a new ticket will be created with a title based on your subject line. It is important that you do not send a "new" email regarding an existing support ticket. Doing so will result in multiple tickets existing for the same issue, which may result in significant delay and can negatively impact the continuity of service.
File attachments under 10MB will be attached to the ticket associated with the e-mail. Larger files will be discarded without notice.

Telephone-Based Support
The DrugPak Technical Support Service does not include live telephonic access to a support agent. On a case-by-case basis, individual DrugPak Technical support agents may elect, at their own discretion, to place an outgoing call to the authorized user associated with a support ticket.
Creating a Ticket via VoiceMail
To ensure fastest service, you should use the DrugPak Technical Support toll-free technical support number only if you are unable to access DrugPak Technical Support support services via a web browser or email.
Our toll-free technical support phone number is intended for requesting technical support for new issues only.
To request technical support for a new issue you may call DrugPak’s toll-free technical support line at (800)-321-7826 to leave a voicemail. If the originating phone number is available via caller ID, and that number is associated with your account, the DrugPak Technical Support automated system will attempt to generate a ticket for you, attaching the voicemail audio recording.
If the system is unable to identify an account from an incoming call, a DrugPak Technical Support agent will listen to voicemail and attempt to manually identify your account in order to create a ticket.
