Help Desk System Status Dashboard

Emburse Chrome River's System Status Dashboard gives detailed, real-time status information via a color-coded severity indication. This provides at-a-glance information that allows you to make more informed decisions regarding your Chrome River system and whether any action needs to be taken by your team.

If you notice a Chrome River system issue, simply check this page for a live report of the system status. If an issue has already been flagged, you can see up-to-the-minute status information. If your issue has not been reported there, please create a Help Desk case and we'll get right on it.

Access the System Status Dashboard

1. Log in to the Chrome River Help Desk at https://chromeriver.force.com. (For instructions on logging in, see How to Create a Help Desk Case.)

2. Scroll to the bottom of the Welcome page and click SYSTEM STATUS in the Featured Topics section at the bottom of the homepage.

At the top of the page is the system’s uptime percentage.

Under the uptime percentage is the current System Status. "All Systems are flowing" indicates no issues are being experienced.

Dashboard Updates

The goal of this dashboard is to help keep you updated on everything going on at Chrome River. The dashboard provides different types of updates based on the nature of each event and the extent of its impact.

Here is an example of a Partial Impact affecting Chrome River EXPENSE. Hovering your mouse over the dot will give you additional information about the incident.

While hovering, click on the title of the incident post in the pop-up to view more details on that specific post. This will show you all updates for an incident in one location, in chronological order.

You may also access these details by clicking on the title of the incident post under “Recent Activity” at the bottom of the page. Posts will remain in Recent Activity for seven days after the original post.

System Maintenance

The System Status Dashboard is also used to communicate when our next System Maintenance period will occur. When this information is posted, a banner will be displayed underneath the current system status, and subscribers will receive an email notification.

Email Notifications

There are five types of posts and corresponding email notifications to alert you of updates posted to the dashboard:

  • System Maintenance notifications keep you updated about scheduled system updates, such as system upgrades and monthly maintenance.
  • Information updates are high-level notices that generally are not actionable but add an additional level of transparency about the Chrome River application.
  • Partial Impact notifications will be published when there is partial system disruption.
  • Outage notifications indicate an incident with significant Chrome River impact.
  • Resolution/Operational notifications will alert you when an issue is resolved.

Any user who currently has access to Salesforce as an approved contact has automatically been set up to receive System Maintenance and Information notifications. If you would like to make any adjustments to your approved contacts, please open a case via the Chrome River Help Desk.
