How to Report and Escalate Cascom Failures (e.g., Shift Transfers)
This article describes the steps to take when you encounter technical issues with Cascom that prevent actions such as transferring shifts, and how our support team will handle the issue.
Summary This article explains the immediate actions you should take if Cascom is failing (for example, shift transfers not working), how to request urgent assistance, and what to expect after the issue is escalated.
Immediate steps to take
-
Confirm the problem and scope
- Attempt the same action (e.g., transfer a shift) to confirm the error persists.
- Check whether multiple staff or accounts are affected to determine if the issue is isolated or widespread.
-
Report the issue to support
- Contact Entire OnHire support and report the specific failure (for example: unable to transfer shifts, error messages, or delays).
- Provide concise, actionable details: what you were trying to do, the exact error or behaviour, time and date, and whether others are impacted.
-
Request urgent attention if the problem impacts operations
- If the issue is causing missed shifts or significant operational impact, explicitly request the issue be flagged as urgent when you contact support.
What support will do
- Tickets requiring technical investigation will be escalated to the development team for further review and resolution.
- Support will treat escalated issues in line with our service levels. For reference, consult our customer SLAs: https://knowledge.entireonhire.com/en/customerslas

Troubleshooting tips while waiting for a resolution
