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.

Auto adding main asset to a SR request when a user is selected

I am looking to add the users main asset to the SR request so we don’t have to dig around for the asset before we remote on. We don’t use the inbuilt remoting system but a third party so using the RC isn’t an option. I can see you can add the main asset to the SR and I can assign users assets but how do I get it to speak to each other to auto populate the asset when the user requests a ticket?

anyone else experiencing strange behavior using Firefox 121.0.1 (64-bit) with sysaid? When I go to close a ticket, for example, a dialog should pop up asking if I want to add it to the knowledge baseIn my case, it’s putting that dialog into a new tab instead John

Is there a way to reply to a ticket with a templated response?

Hello SysAid community,I’m interested if anyone has found a way to reply to a ticket with templated responses - I’m thinking of a type of functionality in SysAid where you can select a template or a saved reply when responding to a ticket -- currently we just keep a handy document and copy/paste from that document into our message back to the ticket requestor - But if there were a way to just select a response that would be helpful. Has anyone seen anything like this? Thanks!

Users allowed to submit ticket without filling in "required" Field

Users claimed they submitted tickets, but none of our administrators could see it in the “Service Desk”. Turns out, We searched the End Users individually and found the tickets under the “Help Desk” tab.But the users didn't fill in the “Category” Field on the tickets (and therefore doesn't show up in the helpdesk dashboard) but were still able to submit Ticket. The Category field is marked as “required” on the submit form- I’ve added some pictures for context. Has anyone else run into this issue? is there a way for user to be notified they must fill out the Category section?

Sasspass/Two Factor

So we’d like to setup two factor authentication for SysAid, since it has a decent amount of information we’d prefer not to be accessible by people who don’t need to know it. I saw elsewhere that Sasspass is supported, or at least as an integration for it. But running into headaches, as it appears it’s not for the web version? I can’t seem to find any help on two factor for SysAid in particular, everything I’ve found is highly generic about setting up Sasspass. I guess the questions are:Can you do two factor authentication with the paid web version of SysAid? Can this two factor *just* be for the admins. I’ve seen it requested elsewhere, but adding Duo support would be highly useful, since we already use Duo for all our other two factor things.

Admin created ticket - no e-mail notifications

On-prem v22.4.45 b1When an admin creates a ticket and sets the status to assigned when creating the assigned admin does not get any e-mail notification. I have ‘assigned to changes’ and ‘assigned’ status selected in Notification settings under General. The notification works when the status is changed after the ticket is already created ,e.g. ticket is created as new then changed to assigned status. I assume this is not sending an e-mail because it only updates on changes and this does not trigger when the ticket is created as already assigned. Is there any way to make a ticket that is created with the admin assigned and status selected send an e-mail notification?
