Edit/Delete notes

I have not found a way to edit or delete a note within a service request. For those occasions where someone hits add when the info is not quite correct, it would be nice if at least a sysaid administrator could delete or edit the note.

change request user field to an email address?

is there any way to configure the request user field to allow us to enter an email address?? I have some contractors that are not given a company email, and they email in requests via their personal email. we have so many contractors come and go so it's not possible to setup an end user account for all of them. if an end user puts in a ticket on behalf of the contractor there is no way i can change the request user field to anything else other than one of our end users in sysaid.... Thus, the problem i am trying to work around.

Workflow Notification Emails

I am trying to setup a workflow notification that will send an email out once that action tab is activated. What I don't want is it to send that email again if the assigned to field is changed. We assign based on group and not individual. I know this was changed at one point to allow for this behavior but is there any way to turn it off?

Subtypes are creating themselves

I am implementing Service Request functionality; my first step has been to create a subtype within the SR template area called “Onboard Employee”. I have created a template called “Onboard Employee Template” and assigned the subtype to it. All is well so far.I’ve done a number of tests:convert Incident to SR using the new template create an SR using the new templateAll again seems to be working fine.However, at some point, a new subtype has appeared in the subtype list:“Onboard Employee#1”Looking at the list of subtypes, I actually have a number of similarly named subtypes, such as “DEFAULT#1”, “DEFAULT#2” etc.What’s making these subtypes? Is there an action or configuration that I can avoid that will prevent them from being created? Can I safely delete them? Or do they actually have a use?Any advice would be appreciated!

SysAid not respecting my filtering requests

Based on other posts here in the forums I'm trying to get a view that only shows open incidents. I went to the gear icon>Customize>Lists then picked status off the drop down box. I created and modified the status as needed, made sure every one was in the right category. Then I went to customize view, picked status caption, edit, picked list.active and my filter expression is "status in (1,2,5,6)". 3 is my closed status, 7 is my deleted status. When I save and apply everything, I still see deleted and closed tickets. I've logged out and back in, I've switched to another view and switched back, I've deleted out the view and re-created it, I'm still seeing tickets I shouldn't be seeing. Any help is appreciated.

How do I change the order of Workflow tabs when editing a Sub Type?

I have created a new Sub Type and in edit sub type view, I have deleted some workflow tabs and added some of my own. These have added to the end of the tabs, but I would like to re-order these. Tabs are currently: Change Details - Close - History - Test Plan > Approval I want them to be in the following order: Change Details > Test Plan > Approval > Close - History Any ideas?

Admin Group Not Receiving Emails

Hi, I have an admin group that’s assigned to a few request templates and they aren’t receiving any emails when a ticket is submitted, closed, or updated. The checkboxes in Settings → Service Desk → General for “Notifications will be sent for all new Service Records with Priority >= Low,” “Notify Admins assigned to the Service Record,” and “Notify the Admin group assigned to the Service Record” are all toggled on. Only one person is getting the emails and that seems to be the assigned administrator.

How to proceed on the next workflow tab

Hi, I’ve been trying to create a new template and currently working on the workflow designer. However, after testing, it won’t proceed to the next workflow tab which is the “Human Resource”. There are also 3 non-workflow tabs in between Human Resource and End User. Why is this so that it won’t proceed? I’ve been working on the dependencies as well.  How can I move the 3 non-workflow tabs on the last part?  Hope you can help me. Thanks

Forwarded mails being attached to old service requests

We always liked the option where we could type #SR-number in the subject field of an email. But we started noticing after last onpremise upgrade that SYSAID now looks in the body of a mail for #number..This is very inconvienient for us as we have a lot of users working with PO etc. that uses this number as well, so now we get a lot of messages on old service requests and new service requests being attached to old ones because it happens to find the number eg. #874 instead of creating a new SR.How do we disable this feature.?

Is there any way to block certain extensions as attachments?

Is there any way to block .MSG attachments from tickets? We have certain end users who regularly attach emails with potentially malicious links and attachments to tickets wanting us to analyze them or help with opening the attachments. I don't want technicians to accidentally open an attachment thinking they're helping the end user and end up infecting us themselves.

${LinkToAttachments} URL in Admin Notification links to a 404 page

Our SysAid server was recently configured to use https, and this required using the FQDN in the URL to access the site. However, the ${LinkToAttachments} variable in the Admin Notification emails still uses the hostname only in the URL. When the link is clicked, the admin gets a 404 page due to the link not being the FQDN. Is there a way to change the ${LinkToAttachments} variable to return the FQDN instead of the hostname only?Example:helpdesk:80/linktoattachment VS. https://helpdesk.domain.com/linktoattachment

Ability to Change Status when tech sends message on Incident or Request

Is there a way to have SysAid automatically change the Incident/Request status when a tech uses the Send Message on a ticket? Ideally we'd like to have the status displayed on the Send Message form so it can show the default or tech can select a different status.
