  • Priority 2 (P2) means an issue that significantly impacts the user’s ability to use the device (ie the Hardware Devices and Software, including the Kiosk and Turnstile / Transient Point Solution) without using unsustainable workarounds or has a major impact on business productivity and service levels.
  • Priority 3 (P3) means an issue that has a minor impact on the user’s ability to use the device (ie the Hardware Devices and Software, including the Kiosk and Turnstile / Transient Point Solution) using sustainable workarounds or has a minor impact on business productivity and service levels.
  • Priority 4 (P4) means an issue that does not impede the user’s ability to use the device (ie the Hardware Devices and Software, including the Turnstile / Transient Point Solution) or does not impact business productivity and service levels. This defect severity level is used to highlight cosmetic or nuisance issues.
