6. CUSTOMER OBLIGATIONS
- Administrating the Service provided by Interact requires a baseline technical skillset, including but not limited to:
- Satisfactory understanding of the Service’s features
- Ability to maintain product web technologies
- Access and understanding of third-party products (e.g. Okta, Azure, Email Service) which the Customer has integrated to the Service.
- Customer to make available to Supplier a technically competent representative during support hours for all Issues.

- Supplier will communicate the availability of service updates to customers at https://status.interactgo.com. Customers must subscribe to real time notifications from Supplier.
- Interact shall make available all release notes via community; interactsoftware.com. The Customer must regularly review the community.
7. BUG FIXING PROGRAM
- Supplier’s bug fixing program runs to correct, mitigate, and remedy any reproducible Bugs reported by customers. Supplier will assist with Workarounds and reporting of Bugs identified within the Service.
- Bugs are assessed and prioritised based on the impact on customers. Impact refers to both the severity of the Bug as set out below, in addition to the number of customers affected.
Severity 1 – Highest
Supplier determines Severity 1 bugs to be any bugs that lead to security vulnerabilities, inability to meet regulatory requirements or the inability to access and remove data.
Examples…
- The inability for any users to authenticate/access the Service.
- Users can access content they shouldn’t.
- No results showing in search for any users.
Supplier will start Investigating the Highest severity bugs as soon as reasonably possible.
Severity 2 – High
A feature is unavailable, the Service performance is significantly degraded, or the issue makes it difficult for users to carry out their day-to-day activities.
Examples…
- The Service fails intermittently
- The Service is functional, but modules are frequently inaccessible
- Inability to publish content
Supplier will begin work on High severity bugs in the next development cycle.
Severity 3 – Medium
The feature isn’t working as expected, but there is a Workaround available. User experience is affected, but they can still largely carry out day-to-day activities
Examples…
- Some searches fail
- Administrative features fail intermittently, but a workaround is available
- Inability to edit content
Medium severity bugs are typically worked on after all Highest severity bugs are resolved and there are no other critical priorities.
Severity 4 – Low
Bugs that are largely cosmetic but still impact the user experience.
Examples…
- Visual defects, that don’t affect the functionality of the Service
- Minor translation or localization problems
- Keyboard shortcuts not functioning as expected
Low severity Bugs are worked on at Supplier’s discretion and are typically only fixed if our Developers are already working in that area of the product and are able to easily resolve the problem identified.
- Assessing Bugs in this way ensures that we prioritise the most effective resolutions or fixes. Supplier gives high priority to security issues.
- Customers can track the progress of Bugs that affect them via the Long Term Bug Roadmap ( interactsoftware.com/ltbr) and Short Term Bug Roadmap (interactsoftware/stbr)
- Once a Bug fix is developed, tested, and verified, Supplier will roll it out to Customers’ site as soon as reasonably practicable and details of all the Bug fixes will be published in release notes via community.interactsoftware.com
8. RELEASES AND MAINTENANCE
- Customer acknowledges and agrees that Supplier may from time to time update the Service with, for example, new features, enhancement of exiting features and resolution of Bugs identified within the Service.
- Customer acknowledges that Supplier may from time to time undertake architectural updates to the supporting hardware and ancillary systems
- Supplier’s classification of releases and maintenance updates are as follows:
| Type | Service Impact | Expected Frequency | Pre-notification Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| General Release Used for features’ updates and bug resolution | Release is applied without downtime or disruption to the service | Frequent | |
| Scheduled Maintenance Maintenance of architecture, configuration changes and service migration | May require downtime or disruption to the service | Rare | Minimum 2 weeks |
| Unscheduled Maintenance Urgent maintenance of architecture, configuration changes and service migration. Typically, security related | May require downtime or disruption to the service | Rare | Minimum 48 hours |
Appendix 4: Browser Requirements
Overview
Interact 7 is a responsive web application that is accessed through a modern web browser. Interact has been designed to work across as many web browsers as possible and does not require the installation of any software on the client device or browser.
Supported Browsers (Desktop)
Interact supports the latest browser versions (see below) running in Windows with a minimum
processor of 2Ghz and 2GB RAM:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 11
Microsoft Edge
Google Chrome
Firefox
Interact supports the latest browser versions (see below) running on Mac OS X with a minimum
processor of 2Ghz and 2GB RAM:
Safari 13+
Google Chrome 80+
A minimum screen resolution required all Interact features is 1024 x 768. Screens with a lower resolution will not always display correctly and inbuilt browser features such as ‘zoom’ that give the user to ability to increase/decrease the size of the content of the browser may also be adversely affected.
Supported Browsers (Mobile Device)
Interact is a fully responsive web application that adapts (resize, hide, shrink, enlarge and move content) the interface to work on any device. Supported browsers on a tablet and phone include:
Android (4+): Chrome, Firefox
iOS: Safari, Google Chrome.
Notes
- Beta versions of web browsers are not supported
- Google Chrome and Firefox release automatic browser updates. Interact officially supports the latest version at the time of the interact release, however, we make every effort to support previous versions.
- When using Content Editor features such as cut and paste, script access to the Clipboard should not be disabled.
- JavaScript must be enabled to use Interact.
- For resolutions below 1024×768 you may see the mobile or tablet versions of the site
Thin Client Technology
Interact 7 has been widely deployed on thin client technologies such as Citrix XenApp. It is necessary to ensure that the required browser resources are provisioned and available to each thin client. Interact is dependent upon a significant amount of client side rendering through the use of JavaScript. It should be noted that some older generations of thin client infrastructure can result in significantly reduced performance. Offloading browser rendering to the thin-client (if available) will help to improve the general performance. In addition to this, updating to newer generation of thin client server can avoid poor compression (between the server and thin client) and vastly improve the end user experience.
