All you need in order to move to Microsoft 365 Exchange OAuth 2.0 protocol.Tutorial

Two years ago, Microsoft announced that it will no longer support basic authentication protocols (SMTP, IMAP, POP). The time has come when you need to move to a more secure and updated protocol - OAuth 2.0.  Setup of the new email integration is simple:  In SysAid, go to: Settings > Integration > Email.  Click the Create New button, and follow the instructions in this Microsoft 365 Email Integration with OAuth 2.0 Guide. The permissions required on MS side:  Permissions required on Microsoft​​​​ Test and verify the new integration: Send manual email, reply from tickets and take actions that trigger automatic notification.  To disable the SMTP integration [see screenshot below]: In SysAid, go to: Settings > Integration [1] > Email [2]. Choose the SMTP integration list item and uncheck: Select the Outgoing Email tab [3]  Uncheck  Enable outgoing email  Click Apply [5]. Select the Incoming Email tab [4] Uncheck Enable incoming email Click Apply [

Escalation rules - Add/Subtract to float field using "Action Builder"

Hi there,I just wanted to ask, if it is possible to add/subtract to a float field using the action builder on escalation rules.If I’m using the “Reset Escalation Level” option for the “Escalation level” to cause the rule is re-run if the criteria is met, but I want to restrict the amount of re-runs of the escalation rule WITHOUT having to build an escalation rule X amount of times to check + set the field each time.For example, A single escalation rule that adds +1 to a reminder-no field and the criteria of the same rule will only run when the reminder-no field is between 1-5 etc. Is this possible?

Escalation Rule not working in some tickets

SysAid Edition / PackagePro Plus EditionBuild Numberv23.3.35 b4 Hi, I have for years a simple escalation rule that set tickets with status Ready to Closed six days after last modifikation date. It works for most of it, but not for some. Cant see a difference. The oldest SRs which are not working are from early 2022. We have tickets back to 2009.  There is no filter other than status ready:    Can I manually test the Rule when I change something? Is it a bug?

Out of Office

Can someone explain in more detail how the Out of Office works?  Apologies if this seems like an obvious question.  I’ve set up the Out of Office on my account and have selected another Administrator but upon manually assigning a test ticket to me, it’s still sent to me and sits in my queue.Many thanks,Mel S

When closing an incident, the page lingers on the closed incident page, instead of returning to the incident list

As the title says - when closing an incident, the page lingers on the closed incident page, instead of returning to the incident list. In previous versions of Sysaid, when you closed a ticket, you were instantly brought back to the list of incidents. Now, the page just idles on the closed ticket page. You have to manually browse back to the incidents list. We would like to restore this behavior to the previous setting where it returns you to the incident list.

Survey response

Can I remove a survey response from a report?  One of our support colleagues input a test response and they wanted to see where it was recorded.  It is now appearing on the ‘Satisfaction Level by Administrator’ report and I’d like to remove it before I distribute a copy of this report to the rest of the team.Many thanks.

SysAid Administrator

I’ve recently made an existing user an Administrator but they cannot see the ‘Admin Portal’ in the drop-down list when clicking on their name in the top-right of SysAid.  They have this option checked under Permissions.  Please advise.

Sysaid Helpdesk/Emails not showing line breaks from Power Automate email?

Please see example of a Power Automate flow I have created which sends two emails via a manual trigger:It sends one to the email address of our IT department’s helpdesk. One to my own work email   Below you can see that the email recieved on my own work email contains the line breaks as it should. However, the email recieved by the helpdesk disregards all line breaks, and sends it as one block of text. In the last week, the Sysaid HelpDesk has suddenly stopped accepting/reading line breaks contained in emails sent from a power automate flow.We many Microsoft forms that are used to send requests to our Helpdesk, and now they are all coming through as one huge block of text. Tried using bullet points instead of line breaks and still the same issue.Any idea on how to fix this? Surely its something others are having issues with?

Administrator usernames displaying incorrectly/not uniform

Hello, We recently migrated to Sysaid Cloud from our on premises server, and now we are seeing some inconsistencies/discrepancies with how user names are displaying in HelpDesk. some users show with just their Windows user name (dmcdonald) - this is correct, and preferred.New users it sets their username as their email address - but we do have the option to edit it.Some older users are displaying as the DOMAIN\Username like they were imported by LDAP - this is incorrect and makes the layout confusing to look at when selecting an admin to assign a ticket to - also - these usernames CANNOT be edited in the helpdesk panel. Is there another way to edit/change an administrator’s username, besides removing them and re-adding them and having to unassign/reassign tickets?

Ticket reopened by email

We have a ticket that continues to be re-opened when the sender sends in an email.  The sender is sending some monthly downtime notification emails and he is using the same subject for all emails.In our email integration we do have it where if a user has the SR# in the subject it will reset the status of a ticket to Open, but in this case the email does not have the SR# anywhere in the email. Any ideas what might be causing this?

Priority Matrix - Not applying to new tickets?

Hi all!I’m trying to setup a new Service Agreement but running into an issue with configuring the priority matrix. When raising a ticket with the Impact set to Minor and the Urgency set to Medium its setting the Priority to P4 instead of P3. I’m a bit confused as to why this is occurring. The agreement is applied to the company and the user logging the ticket is assigned to the company. Below is a screenshot of the service agreements priority tab, What am I overlooking?

SLA Breach - not sure how

If a ticket breaches its SLA and isn't resolved yet, we change the due date and de-escalate it. That works temporarily, however, as soon as either we or the end user replies to the ticket, it immediately goes back to saying it has breached its SLA and sending an email. Is there something in the escalation rule that we can adjust? Can you point me to the right area to check?These rules were set up for us and now trying to determine how to adjust and what meaning each of these rules have.

Account CGH Medical Center has been expired.

Everyone in my organization is getting this error when we try to login. Sending email to login@sysaid.com gets no response and sending a message through the support portal has not been replied to either. Is there an issue with the site or is there a more serious issue? Our contract is valid till Oct. 22nd, 2024 so it isn’t that.
