A technology emergency is classified as a problem that impedes critical university functions\/business or as a wide-scale service interruption that affects multiple people (e.g., Canvas being unavailable).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though all of our client\u2019s issues are important to us and we do our best to resolve them as quickly and efficiently as possible, only technology emergencies as defined above can be addressed via the after hours emergency line. Routine issues that come in after hours will be handled the following business day. Some examples of routine issues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A single individual is unable to access an IT-provided service, but the service is available to all other clients.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A single individual is experiencing problems with his or her computer; critical University-related business is not affected.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To Access the After Hours Emergency Line:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Call 317-940-HELP (4357).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow the phone prompts to leave a voicemail message for the Help Desk Staff on the emergency line. Please be sure to leave a clear message with your name, phone number, and detailed description of the issue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once a voicemail message has been left, the Help Desk Staff will be notified. A&nbsp;technician will contact you via phone (usually within 30 minutes).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-routine-maintenance\">Routine Maintenance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Routine system maintenance is scheduled <strong>between midnight Saturday night and noon on Sunday. <\/strong>For more information, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/it\/alerts\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">System Alerts and Maintenance<\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-classroom-technology-support\">Classroom Technology Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Immediate support for classroom technology is available by pressing the &#8220;Technology Help&#8221; button from any Butler classroom telephone or by calling 317-940-HELP (4357) and selecting option 1 when prompted.
