Closed status SR's

A lot of our users email SysAid rather than using the Self-Service portal (something I’m trying to change). In some instances they’re replying to an email about an SR that has been closed and the support colleague may miss the automated email stating an SR has been modified.Is there a way within SysAid that I can generate an automatic email to the end user, if a SR has been closed for a certain amount of time and they email on the back of the closed SR, requesting that they raise a separate SR?Many thanks.

'Deleted' status SR's

Within our organisation, when a SR is marked with a status of ‘Deleted’, an automated email is sent to the user stating ‘if you want to know the reason please visit your Self-Service Portal’ but upon testing this, the deleted SR is not viewable by the user.  Is there a setting that will allow this?Many thanks.

Initial RDS Setup

Hi all, we are just getting started with Sysaid implementation and it has been a bumpy road, nevertheless I have installed RDS on one of our servers, followed the documentation, however in sysaid portal, I only see one RDS node which is sysaid server. i am not sure if that is how it should be or not, but i have no option to add new one. if I go to do any sort of WMI or SNMP scan, I also cannot choose RDS nor Domain, which makes me think there might be a step that i have missed after installing the RDS. PS: I have assigned credentials to RDS , I have no way of confirming whether it is working or not. I would appreciate any help on this one.

Pausing Due Dates

I posted in the forums a few weeks ago regarding the pausing of due dates based on a particular ticket Status. I received an auto response regarding the amending of some SLA’s but it still doesn’t make sense to me and I’m unable to fit the recommendations into our set up.Is someone able to go through this particular process step by step?Many thanks,Mel S.

Pausing due dates

First of all, apologies for the number of questions I’m posting to the forums lately. I’ve just been appointed the Service Desk Supervisor at our organisation and I’m wanting to make as much use of our SysAid software as possible.Can it accommodate the pausing or recalculating of the Due Date based on the ticket’s status? For example, if a ticket is updated with a status of ‘sent to supplier’, it no longer falls within our SLA’s but the supplier’s. It would also need to pause or recalculate if the status is changed to ‘on hold’ or ‘contacted user - awaiting response’.Many thanks,Mel S.

Escalation Rules - Font & formatting

Can I amend the Escalation Rules ‘Notification body’ to match the default font & formatting of our organisation?  The default within SysAid is Calibri (11) and we use Arial (12).  Can you also use the likes of ‘bold’ & ‘underlining’?Many thanks,Mel S.

Why you should always prepare a success plan with your vendors

A success plan is a document that outlines your objectives for the future (could be quarterly, annual, or even multi-year) - a blueprint for achieving your business goals.Most businesses or departments create a success plan, but only a few create these with their vendors.The benefits are obvious: you create a sense of mutual accountability for your mutual growth - a sense of partnership that benefits both parties.  The Joint Success Plan doesn’t only include high level objectives, but also key activities and measurable results that your vendors and partners can help you achieve. It is a living document that will be revisited in different touchpoints throughout your vendor-client lifecycle to ensure that you’re on the right path for success.Here’s an example of a Joint Success Plan I created with one of my clients:Ask your Customer Success Manager to create one with you!

Issue with 3rd party app, Zoom.

I can see that Zoom Video Communications, Inc. is part of the SW Vendor and Classification in Patch Management Policy. But it does not give me the option to approve or show me versions that are in my environment. I also checked Patch Management and just do a basic search; it does not show me Zoom as well.I go to Software Products and add a new Software Product and I can see I have a few computers that have Zoom client installed using the query builder. Is there a chance that Zoom Video Communications Inc changed their name recently and now Patch Management policy or Patch Management won't list them in the correct slot?I am currently trying to update zoom to ensure it is the latest version through SysAid patch management.

On-Call Person

Hi guys, I am new with SysAid and was wondering how you deal with on-call personnel/tickets. We have scheduled on call person and would like to notify them when a ticket is submitted or NOT assigned after 10 minutes it was submitted. How do you notify the on call person when the on call person changes every week? We are trying to minimize the number of emails being received by the other Admins so sending a notice to the group, hopefully, is not the way we have to go.We are using teh SysAid clou.
