How do I enable the creation of custom views? It is an option when logged in as the Supervisor, but not for me as an Administrator.

Good afternoon, I wish to use Escalation Rules to send notifications to the end user and also the defined user in DB field ‘sr_cust_test_listtt’.  I checked the option ‘Notify these custom user(s) (DB field name only)’ and entered ‘sr_cust_test_listtt’ into the box but this doesn’t notify the person defined in that field in the service record. Is what I’m trying to do possible? If so, assistance getting this working would be appreciated. -Leon  

Good morning, I don’t believe it’s possible but here goes. We have a few automation email for example, one would be newstarter@example.com where we are notfied of a new user. This mailbox is unmonitored and would therefore not receive any replies. We can of course change this to our HR user. What I would like is any emails from newstarter@example.com to have the request user field be automatically changed to hr@example.com IF the subject field is XXX. In Settings>Service Desk>Email Rules> EMAIL RULE >    Update the following SR fields:there is no option to change the request user. Is it possible to add this option? Or would this fall under a FR?

The issue:When a Helpdesk analyst sends the requester a message from within SysAid - they don’t format the text in the box because they don’t have time. They just write a message and send.This results in a message that doesn’t look as professional as the end user notifications (which have custom tables and formatting), and because the “include SR details” is ticked by default, they forget to untick it. We end up with a message that looks like this:  Is it possible to set a template to appear when you click the ‘send message’ box, so that the helpdesk analyst doesn’t need to format text - but the message sent out matches the other notifications? I may be missing something in the documentation - apologies if so.I would like these messages to look similar to my end user notifications with the same formatting, but not repeat the details (can we set it so that include the details of the Service Record is unticked by default?) I would like as little ‘work’ for the helpdesk analyst as possibl

Hi, I need to find out how to add fields to the template for mobile app. We have a location field that is shown on the web version but is missing on the mobile app. Thanks all!

I have previously used an on premises version of SysAid where we used the end user portal instead of the self service portal. I now have a cloud instance and I can’t find the setting to switch to the end user portal. Is this available in the cloud version?

In the self service portal, users can see their open tickets as well as “recently closed”. Does the “recently closed” list show all of their closed tickets, or only those closed in a given time frame (and what time frame)? I need users to be able to view all of their tickets regardless of when they were closed, but I can’t find anything in the settings or documentation on this.CheersJenny

I support users who work shifts and need an easy way for them to communicate with their colleagues on the opposite shift to them. If I use the “cc” field in the incident form, does the cc’d user get copied in on all email notifications on the incident?

We had a multi-user issue today, and when our tickets are raised, they come in with blank categories.Is there a way to force the child ticket to inherit the categories of the parent when you add the parent ID into the child ticket, when it has blank categories?It meant that our analysts had to manually update every category as well as the parentID today for 30+ tickets.

I’m trying to customise our Request templates but I am unable to move simple fields as the ‘Design Form’ isn’t available.I’d like to move the Notes field from the Close tab to the Request Details tab, for example - and remove some fields from the Request Details tabAm I missing something obvious? I can do this with an Incident template but not a Request.

I am trying to create a custom request template with my own questions.  Is there a way to do this?  I don’t see a “custom” action item to add to the template.  Any help would be helpful.

We deal with Tickets that run over 2 years is there a way to extend the auto archive function to 2 or more years

Could someone provide the syntax for adding notes field in custom notifications? I have it set to send information for the solution but I need the notes to get added to the notifications as well   Thanks

  When i use the following:${sr.getAddonFieldValue("CustomColumn34sr")}The output is 125.125 is the ‘Reference id’ of my profile. If I put someone else's name in the field, it shows their ID. How can I change this to show their name instead if their reference id? I have followed this:   “Hi Chris,Please try this instead and let me know if this works:$AccountObj.getCustValues("sr_cust_sbm_proj_code",$AccountObj.getResourceBundle()).getCaption($sr.getAddonFieldValue("CustomColumn5sr"))Cheers,Danny” so in my case, it will be:$AccountObj.getCustValues("sr_cust_test_listtt",$AccountObj.getResourceBundle()).getCaption($sr.getAddonFieldValue("CustomColumn34sr")) the ‘125’ is from ${sr.getAddonFieldValue("CustomColumn34sr")}    We are on cloud hosting.

We have screenshots we need to capture as administrators that contain information that we do not want to share with the end user. Is this possible without disabling the attachments tab for the end user?

Our school district has a clinic run by a third party. I went over there to set them up on SysAid so they could put tickets in. I didn’t have their Google account set up when I was showing them how to use the system, so I logged into my account.I went back over today with the Google account created and tried to show them how to do it with their account, but I was still logged in. I went to log out, but it continues to log me back in. It goes to the “you have logged out” screen, but when I click on the “go to login” screen I am still logged in. I can not seem to get logged out and stay logged out.How do I log out and stay logged out? Any thoughts on what could be causing the issue?I have deleted cookies, signed out of and logged back into the computer, and, as I said, logged out of SysAid numerous times to no avail.The district uses Chrome and the third party uses Edge, so I am logged in over there in Edge.   

Hi all, my first post, just started creating a request workflow, I created a new subtype, which created a request template automatically. The problem i have is after editing the request template it created a duplicate when saved with #1 tag, which i deleted as i did not want duplicates, now the original template reverted to the default subtype (so i have deleted this also) and the original subtype now has no template. How do i create a template based on an existing subtype its not obvious ? or do i need to delete the subtype and recreate from scratch. This is a pain as i don't know why the template save created a duplicate template, which had also lost is workflows. I tried editing the subtype to recreate the linked template but my save option remains greyed out even if i make a change so i am unable to actually re save the subtype to try this method. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I find that adding fields when designing my incident or request template makes the template longer.I’d like to have the Impact and Urgency fields next to each other in the body of ‘general details’ tab, not on top of each other.Is this possible? It means there is a lot of wasted space in the template!Thanks.

Requests go through a two step approval, manager then IT.  We need an easy way to see what has been approved by the requester’s manager, but not yet approved by IT.  Filter, Report, etc.  Something we need to change in our process?

Hi,I am doing an upgrade from old version of HD and after installing On-Premise HD v18.xx I am unable to view more thank 1000 tickets.Is there a way to increase the number??If not how do I set my View Filter to show only the Last 1000 tickets??I will apreciate any tips.Filip

Every time I write a note in a SysAid incident, it sends an email to the user concerned.  I want to make the notes field private so that it does not do this.  Please help.

Today I noticed that notifications are not operating as I expected… here is the flowNew ticket comes in via email where it is automatically set to the Service Desk Group (and notifications are sent to that group) New ticket is assigned to the Development Group, with Assigned to: set to noneI would expect a notification is sent out to the Development Group members for one of them to pick upBut no notifications are being sent outIf I assign a group member to the ticket they are notified via email Thoughts? John
