How to use the Support Portal File Share/Upload Feature

NOTE: The file upload utility tool has been deprecated. This process should be used in its place. Use of file sharing providers such as Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud, etc for file exchange with customers is forbidden by JCI.


Sharing Files

  1. Log into the Exacq Support Portal with an Administrator or Level 2 user role.<br><br>
  2. Access the File Manager, found under the Admin menu.<br><br>
  3. The root (home) directory will list existing directories you have access to view. Administrators can see all directories, Level 2 technicians will see only directories they have created or are given access to.<br><br>
  4. Create a directory for each case, or create a directory structure for customers and place case directories inside these.
    <br><br>
  5. With the directory created, drill down into the directory by selecting the directory name.<br><br>
  6. Select the +Files option. Drag and drop a selected file, or use the Browse option to select a file to upload.
    <br><br>
  7. Attach one or more files, then select Upload.
    <br><br>
  8. Click the Close button to return to the directory.<br><br>
  9. Select the Copy Link button beside the file you wish to share and share this link with the customer. They will need to log into the Exacq Support Portal to reach the file.<br><br>
  10. Files are automatically set to be deleted after 30 days to manage file storage.<br>

Customer File Uploads

  1. Log into the Exacq Support Portal with an Administrator or Level 2 user role.<br><br>
  2. Access the File Manager, found under the Admin menu.
    <br><br>
  3. The root (home) directory will list existing directories you have access to view. Administrators can see all directories, Level 2 technicians will see only directories they have created or are given access to.
    <br><br>
  4. Create a directory for each case, or create a directory structure for customers and place case directories inside these.
    <br><br>
  5. With the directory created, either drill down into the directory, by selecting the directory name, or check mark the box beside the directory in list view.
    <br><br>
  6. Expand the Actions menu and select Share.
    <br><br>
  7. Use the Account Search field to locate the Support Portal user you will provide the directory share link to.
    <br>NOTE: Yes, the customer MUST have an Exacq Support Portal member account. Direct them to the Sign Up form if they do not have one.<br><br>
  8. So that you may provide a link to the customer, you will need to change permissions from Private to Access List.
    <br><br>
  9. To enable uploads, toggle the Access Level beside the user’s name to change it from READ to READWRITE. In situations where multiple users are added, you may mix access levels between users.<br><br>
  10. Press the Copy Link button to copy a link you may wish to share with the customer. They will need to be logged into the portal and use this link to access the directory you have shared to upload files. They should also receive an email with links as well.<br><br>
  11. Close the dialog window and reload the directory to refresh any changes in the files displayed. Files are automatically set to be deleted after 30 days to manage file storage, but you may select files to manually remove them earlier than the expiration date if desired.

    NOTE: Portal Admins will find that their file uploads default to an Expiry date of Never. This is because it is assumed Admins are uploading files that need to remain. Use the chevron icon beside the file name to change the Expiry date.<br><br>

How to Submit Support Diagnostics

Choose the “Easy Support Video” link below to watch a video on how to submit support diagnostics and open a support case from the ExacqVision Client or see step-by-step instructions below.

Exporting Diagnostics

  1. Choose the Help (?) symbol at the upper right hand corner next to the ExacqVision logo.<br><br>
  2. Choose Support Diagnostics.
    <br><br>
  3. The Support Diagnostics popup will start with basic options.


    Note: The default Support Diagnostics option will collect:
    • Server License Key
    • Server Configuration Files
    • Verbose Server Logs

      The ‘Send Usage Statistics’ option on the Support Diagnostics dialogue provides anonymous and non-sensitive information to the manufacturer about how cameras and ExacqVision features are used on the system.<br><br>
  4. Choose “Show Advanced Options” for more options.

    Note: Checkboxes under ‘Client’ will include OS logs from the client machine.<br><br>
  5. If connected to more than one ExacqVision server, you can choose which server to pull the logs from.<br><br>

Submitting Diagnostics

  1. Once your options are chosen, you have the choice to Save the diagnostics export locally, or to upload the export to Exacq and create a ticket.
    • If you select ‘Upload’, it will “zip” all the information and upload the file to our Support Request Form. In addition, it will auto-fill the System Information section for you. Please complete the remainder of the form and choose ‘Submit Email Form’.
      <br><br>
    • If the file is large than 10 MB, you will need to save the diagnostics export file locally and submit the file to Exacq by other means. Contact the Exacq Support technician you are working with to request a link to upload your file.
