Strange formatting in Update notifications

We updated Sysaid to v20.3.64 b14 a few days back and my colleagues are now reporting to me they get some strange formatting in the notification mail. Anyone seen similar like this. /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:"Cambria Math"; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4;} @font-face {font-family:Calibri; panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;} span.EmailStyle18 {mso-style-type:personal-reply; font-family:"Times New Roman",serif; color:windowtext;} .MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; font-size:10.0pt;} @page WordSection1 {size:612.0pt 792.0pt; margin:72.0pt 72.0pt 72.0pt 72.0pt;} div.WordSection1 {page:WordSection1;} --> And then the actual message.

Tickets Auto Re-assign to logged in Admin when changing status

Hello, I've just noticed that when I am closing a ticket for another Admin, the ticket is automatically assigning itself to me. I tested this and it seems all statuses with the Closed status perform this action? How can I make this stop? We handle tickets for Consultants and use them to match invoices, and this will cause a large issue. I don't know how long this has been happening, so please help as soon as possible! Thank you,

New drag-and-drop and visual preview capabilities for your attachments - FR#34718 - 19.3.10

Admins can attach files to an SR, using the control in the Attachments field in an SR form. This can be helpful for attaching log files or images, gifs, or videos that illustrate the issue that the user is experiencing. Here’s what the old attachments UI looks like: This functionality has been significantly upgraded in the latest release. For starters, the attachments are now displayed in attractive icons that indicate the file type instead of just the text of the file name. Furthermore, admins need not download files to view them. SysAid now offers a gallery view that allows admins to quickly preview the attached files directly in the SR Form. But perhaps most importantly, admins can now drag and drop files directly into the Attachments area for a faster and more pleasant user experience. This is all in keeping our focus on providing a cleaner, more modern UI, a more pleasant user experience, and finding ways to help you work more efficiently. For more information abo

verification field

If there a way to put a "verification" field in to a form and have a check to make sure the info in both match? Example enter name: and then confirm name: I'm sure the technician can confirm that they match after the form is submitted, but I was wondering if there is a better way to do this. Thanks, Chris

Email notifications after xx amount of "Waiting for user"

Hello, does anyone have a working example of a setup where the user receives an email notification with a reminder, when a case has been "waiting for user" for xx days? In addition to this, maybe also the ability to set the case to "Closed" after additional xx days? This would help us clean up our tickets...

Request User drop down is missing users

I am having an issue where the Request User drop down in a New Incident is missing several of our users that are in the End User list. I have not applied any filters or made any changes to the New Incident form so I am not sure what is causing this. Does anyone have anything that they think I should check? Steve P.S. - I just noticed that I put the wrong field name on this. I have corrected it.

Locations not coming through

We have a group that divides up their tickets by location. So one tech is responsible for these locations, another is responsible for other locations, etc. They view their tickets filtering only the locations they are responsible for. However, lately some users/tickets are coming in with 'blank' locations. So things are getting missed. These users submitting the tickets are emailing in, and I can see these users in SysAid, with a location listed. But the location field on some of their tickets are blank. It is intermittent as well. If anyone has any ideas on this, I'd be most appreciative. Kind of stumped. This is an on-prem instance, so I have rebooted the server already.

Call Closure Information

Hi We are in the middle of streamlining out SysAid instance to make it easier for our end users and admins to use. One of the messier parts is the Closure Information box. We have several departments using the software and all need different reasons for call closure. This has resulted in us having a long list of reasons. My question is this: Is it possible to have a different list of closure reasons depending on which department or 1st level category is being used? Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Tooltips

Hi Is there any way we can chage the tooltip text (the little pop-up when you hover over something) so that it can say a bit more to help our end users fill things in. A lot of the time they leave fields blank because they don't know what to put, which wastes a lot of time for us having to chase them to get the info. If we could put a better description or short example it would help. Thanks Lee

"Computer I'm working on" - How do I get this to populate?

I'm new to SysAid (took it over from another guy who started to implement it and got busy). I'd like to do whatever is needed to allow this field to be auto-populated. Is this an issue of needing to install the agent on the machine that submits a request? I can't find documentation to know everything that's needed to get this to work. I also looked in my inventory and only see a few machines in there, so obviously it's something with an AD sync not working/running and/or maybe needing the agent on the machine? Any help?

Request Time Tracking

Hello, I'm new to SysAid and I'm hoping someone can help point me in the right direction. We're using it primarily for Incidents and Requests (Help Desk). With Incidents I was able to add the Activities field for our staff to track what they've done on an incident and the duration they worked on it. We haven't been able to find similar functionality for requests. In particular, I need to find a way to show a field on all requests (basic or advanced) to have them track their times. We bill back to our supported sites and need to document how long we spend on each ticket. Thanks ~Jacob

Can't delete rogue Asset Group

Hi, We've had a random Asset Group picked up from somewhere and I'm unable to delete it from Asset Management > Asset Groups > Select > Delete. I've been able to create and delete other groups to test the function, but this one doesn't appear to be able to be removed. It did have some assets assigned to it, but I've moved these to other groups thinking it was an asset issue. I've also put dummy assets in the group thinking that may help me delete it - but without success. When a group is selected in the asset, additional "webding" groups are visible. It's really messing with our layout ...and my OCD. Any advice would be appreciated. SysAid Build: v18.1.54 b3

Free Trial Setup

Hello All, Trying out the free trial of Sysaid running the Saas environment. I installed the RDS installer on my Windows 10 machine and noticed that the RDS instance does not appear under RDS in the Network Discovery settings. What am I missing? Also, when I install the Sysaid Admin tools and enter my URL, Account name, and serial number, it says those are invalid. What am I missing there too? Thanks for any help. Jerry
