  4. If the issue continues, contact support with a screenshot of the error

What it means: You don't have the necessary permissions or license to view this page or perform this action.

What to do:

  1. Contact your manager or administrator to request the appropriate permissions

  2. Learn more about permissions in our Security Groups article

Note: Uptick Support cannot grant permissions - only your company's administrators can adjust user access.


404 - Not Found

What it means: The page, record, or item you're trying to access doesn't exist. It may have been:

  • Deleted

  • Moved to a different location

  • Accessed through an outdated bookmark or link

What to do:

  1. Check that you've entered the correct URL or reference number

  2. Use the search function to locate the item you're looking for

  3. Update any bookmarks to current pages

  4. If you believe the item should exist, contact support for assistance


500 - Internal Server Error

What it means: Something went wrong on Uptick's end. The page has crashed, and our system has automatically logged the error.

What to do:

  1. Wait a few minutes and try again - many 500 errors resolve quickly

  2. Try refreshing your browser or reloading the page

  3. If you'd like to help us troubleshoot faster, contact support and provide:

    • What you were doing when the error occurred

    • A screen recording showing the steps that led to the error

    • Any error messages displayed on screen

Note: Our technical team is automatically notified when 500 errors occur and will be investigating.


503 - Service Unavailable

What it means: Uptick is temporarily unable to handle your request. This typically happens during periods of high traffic or brief system maintenance.

What to do:

  1. Wait 2-5 minutes

  2. Refresh the page or try your action again

  3. If the error persists for more than 10 minutes, contact support

Note: 503 errors usually resolve on their own within a few minutes.
