# Sending Problem Reports to Zello Support

This article is written for: ✅ Zello Work  ❌ Zello Friends & Family.

Problem reports are detailed logs that allow Zello's team to diagnose unexpected app behaviors. These reports provide comprehensive data on Zello's actions and errors, and can be sent from either an individual's device or the management console. 

### When to Send a Problem Report

---

Problem reports should be sent immediately after you encounter an issue. The logs only capture a few minutes of activity, so if too much time passes between the error's occurrence and and the report's submission, the issue may not appear in the log. If there's too long of a delay, we'll request that you try to reproduce the issue and re-send the report. 

Once you've sent in your problem report, email [paidsupport@zello.com ](mailto:paidsupport@zello.com)for further assistance. Please include your network name and username (or username of the individual you've requested the log for, if you're an admin) in the email. 

### Admins: Send a Report on a User's Behalf

---

Admins can send problem reports on behalf of network users via the management console. Please note that if you opt for this method, you must reproduce the problem on the user's device immediately prior to requesting the log.

Admins can only request logs for users whose status is **available**. If the user in question is not available, the **Request Log** button will be greyed out. 

1. If necessary, have the user reproduce the issue on their device.  
2. From the management console's taskbar, go to **Users**. Then select the user you'd like to request the log for from the user list. 
3. Click the **Request Log **button at the top of the user profile page. This will send our team a problem report.
