Help with Escalation Rule using "Time to Respond"

Scenario:Ticket is created User receive notification for ticket creation User supply additional info, unsolicited by the assigned administrator, on the ticket via email or notes resulting in the ticket status changing from “New” to “User Responded”.I would like to create an ER along the lines of if “Status=User Responded” AND “Time to Respond=isEmpty” then “Status = New”. Obviously, the ‘Time to Respond’ variable type is Float so a value of ‘isEmpty’ is not suitable. Additionally, the ER is not triggered when ‘Time to Respond’ is set to 0 or 0.00.Is there a default value for ‘Time to Respond’ similar to isEmpty or Null? I would also welcome any alternative logic.

oAuth mail check creating duplicates

Hi Team,  I’m noticing that since implementing oAuth for mail receipt, emails are creating multiple tickets within the platform. Is this something that others have experienced before and how did you resolve it if you did.

Workflow Action Item Logic

Hello everyone, TLDR: Can you perform a dependency check where the value of one field is compared to another?SysAid Cloud Customer - Latest VersionI am attempting to create a logic test within a workflow I am creating for approving user changes. I have an action item designated in the beginning of the workflow to pull the relevant field info in to perform the dependency test on a later action item and want to compare the two values to have further action items activate automatically based on that test.For the time being, I am pulling in the values of “Request User”, “Change User” (the user who needs permission changes, pulled from the “Followup User” SR field) and “Request User Manager” (Pulled from LDAP attributes) into the first action item as custom text fields. The user data/info pulls in correctly, however when I attempt to do a dependency check on the next action item, I can’t seem to get it to compare the values. For the dependency check, I have it look to see if the first actio

Archiving - How Does It Work?

Does the archiving of tickets help with database performance and search times? What happens with an archived ticket? Where do they go? Is there help for archiving, I could not find any. Is there any special setup required? Lots of questions, I thought I would go ahead and just get them all out there?

Custom Fields in Emails

  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.

Trim email body after any of these regular expressions

Hi, I’m trying to figure out regex to clean up my ticket notifications containing email. In integration>email there is and Advanced Options. There, you are supposed to be able to “trim” at the point of the regex match. I simply can not figure this out (not a unix/linux guy). Can someone recommend a regex that I can try please? Make it simple like only include current email body or something like that. Thanks in advance.

Importing assets - Link to Agent later

Normally with assets like PC’s, Laptops, we just install the agent and let it automatically populate the asset and the CI.We just received a very large batch of laptops that we likely won’t be deploying for a while, so I’d like to get them into Sysaid but don’t want to image/deploy the agent just yet.  We’ve never utilized the asset import feature.  If I import these assets, then later install the agent on them, will it link to the existing record or will it create a duplicate?Also, upon importing the assets, will it automatically create the CI record as well (like when deploying the agent), or will we need to import again to the CI list?Thank you for any direction you can provide!

Is there a way to report on when the status of a Service Record was last changed?

We are looking for a way to report on when the status (not necessarily the last modification of the SR) was last changed for a service record.  The outcome is a way to track how long service records have been in say a Pending User or Customer Responded status regardless of other notes or field changes in the service record.  Ideally, a database field dedicated to that with a timestamp of when the last status change took place.  Does something like this already exist?

Can I display custom fields in workflow tabs?

I have been trying for weeks now to set up an extremely basic workflow and I’m getting nowhere. We would like end users to be able to request to blacklist/block a number from calling the company and then have that request approved by one of two specific people in the company before it’s actually done by the Helpdesk. This seems like exactly what workflows should do. However, I cannot find any way to DISPLAY the answers to the required questions (eg: what number do you want to block, who is this, why do you want to block them, do they have any open orders...) that the approvers would need to make a decision on whether or not the block should be approved. The fields are there in the request, the end user can fill them in when going through the end-user portal, the right people (not SysAid admins) are notified about the request and can approve or deny the request, but I cannot figure out how to present the custom fields in the request. I’m really frustrated at this point.

Custom Filter for Syasid Dashboard

Hi there,I am trying to create a custom filter for one of the charts in our sysaid dashboard. I would like the filter to show the following: Priority Critical or Priority HighAnd Status 1. New or Status 2. Ready or Status 3. Open I’ve spent a good chunk of time messing with different options in the filter wizard to achieve this result but haven’t been able to get anything going.  Here’s the most recent way I’ve formatted the filter:Please let me know what changes I should make, if it’s possible. P.S. I’d love to see someone at Sysaid taking some time to make some QOL changes to this wizard, IMO it’s very unintuitive, even allowing users to type out the filter instead would be much appreciated.

Passing a SR Value in a Workflow when comming in as an email?

We are working on a workflow that is supposed to be triggered by an email coming in, we use an email rule to select our Workflow template. We are wanting to pass Title to the next tab of the work flow but when the email subject link goes into the title of the SR, but it doesn’t pass.  However,  if we trigger the workflow from the sysaid Self-Service Portal it does pass, we are wondering if we are missing a step to get it to work from an email?

Workflow Assigned To Field Population

I am building a workflow action item that needs to be assigned based on the value of a custom relational list field I defined in the “Request Details” tab. The custom field is a relational List based on the SysAid Users Entity. The attribute settings in the workflow do not allow the selection of “Assigned To” when using the custom external field. The “Assigned To” field only shows in the Local Field list when selecting Request User or Request Users Manager.How can I accomplish this?Attribute SettingWorkFlow Tab = Service Record, External Field = Relational List field (user) > Local Field = Assigned To

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?

Routing Rule Creating Complications

Hey, On our sysaid database, there is a rule (?) that is looking at the subject or body of an email and if it contains a ticket number (a ‘#’ followed by any set of numbers) it is attaching it to a ticket. My goal is to replace this rule with one that only looks at the subject line of an email. I looked in Email Rules and was unable to find the rule. Our web account is under help.paccoast.comContact info: Potato SchroeterPotato.Schroeter@PCCI.Com916-631-6013
