Reporting an Issue (Advanced)

Reporting an Issue

Getting in touch with our Support team if you need to report an issue is straightforward. Let us know what you're experiencing either by email to [e-mail] or through our chat feature at the Regrid homepage. The fastest way to get a potential issue resolved is to provide as much of the following information as you can:

1. Project name (if you are working in a project)
2. Steps you took immediately before the problem occurred, with as much detail as possible
3. Does it appear to be a one-off, or can you replicate it if you try the same steps again?
4. Screen recording (preferred) or screenshots showing the problem (see section below)

From there our team will look into the problem, try to replicate the issue, and ask any followup questions needed. The majority of the time, this will be enough for us to go on.

Taking Screenshots & Screen Recordings

Capturing screen recordings

Screen recordings are by far our favorite way for you to show us the issue you're encountering. It saves both us and you time in getting to the bottom of the issue! We tend to recommend Loom for screen recordings because it's straightforward and free, but there are many services out there that work equally well. Choose whatever is easiest for you.

Now, start running through whatever steps you took to trigger the issue you're having. For example, if your issue was that the FEMA Flood Layer isn't showing on the map for you, you would clear the network log, then open the Layers option in the bottom right, then click on the FEMA layer.

Taking Screenshots

Screenshots are also super helpful. They let us see exactly what you’re seeing, which makes it much easier to troubleshoot.

Using the Inspect Tool

In some rare cases, the problem you experience for some reason can't be replicated on our team's end. In those cases, we need more information from you to see what you're seeing.

In these cases what we need is a look at what's going on with your specific circumstances/device. The easiest way for you to show us these details is a screen recording while you re-create the issue while having the 'Inspect' tool of your browser open. This is so that we can see more details about how the site is loading and performing, and look for clues.

First, open Regrid's left hand toolbar. Then right-click in the blank space at the bottom of the toolbar. You should see a menu of options open up, and one of them should be 'Inspect'. Click this.

After clicking, you should see a pane open up - this is the Inspect tab. At the very top of the Inspect pane, look for the 'Network' option. Click on it - this is the most helpful single tab for you to show us.

All right, now you have the Inspect tab open and the Network option selected. It should look something like the screenshot below.

From here, click the 'Clear Network Log' button (up toward the top left of the Inspect pane - icon is a grey circle with a diagonal line through it).

At this point you're ready to start documenting the issue. If you are able to record your screen (preferred), this is the ideal time to start recording.

Now, start running through whatever steps you took to trigger the issue you're having. For example, if your issue was that the FEMA Flood Layer isn't showing on the map for you, you would clear the network log, then open the Layers option in the bottom right, then click on the FEMA layer. Stop recording when you have finished documenting the behavior that is the issue.

That's it - you're done! From here, simply add the video or photos that you have taken to your conversation with our Support team and we will gratefully take a look.
