Additional Notes and Workarounds
| Product/Service | Notes and Workarounds | Last Updated |
|---|---|---|
| External IT Services Status (Vendor Status Information) | UWF relies on many third-party systems to function. Many of these third-party systems have their own status webpages that the public can access. Click the link to the left to see the statuses and links for these pages. | N/A |
| Getting an email notification after getting added to a Google Chat space. | Google Chat is one of the three chat tools that the UWF Community has access to. Lately, when new users are added to a Google Chat space, Google doesn't email those new users, notifying them that they've been added to the Google Chat space. ITS has reached out to Google for assistance. For a workaround, @mention the person in the chat space after inviting them. This will badge the Spaces icon on the left menu of Gmail. | 2022-08-10 |
Alert Handling
How do we define an alert
All of the following must apply:
- We can consistently reproduce an unexpected behavior.
- An issue is generating a number of responses from the UWF community.
- An alert is posted either on this page, or our main Technology Alerts page.
- Either ITS or the third-party vendors are aware of the issue.
- Either ITS or the third-party vendors are actively working to resolve the issue.
- Notices* will be posted if an outage is planned for high impact services.
* Other changes may occur during our posted maintenance windows that will not have a formal notice.
What to expect from an alert
ITS will make best efforts to provide the following for each alert:
- What is expected to occur
- What actually occurs
- What are the workarounds for the issue (if there are any)
- Which departments and third-party vendors are working to resolve the issue
- When was the alert posted
- When was the alert closed
