Logging Queries
When logging a query, please ensure you include:

- How long has there been a problem,
- Any error message details (including screen shots if possible).
Please ensure if you are logging a number of issues, these are raised as individual tickets. This will help track and monitor progress, and enable us to respond more effectively to your requests for help.
