Hello Is it possible to send our end users a link, that they can use for open in a EUP a special template. We create a template for NEW USER CREATION (Win & SAP), if this would be possible, I would give that link to our HR Dept. so they can advise all the Teamleaders using this link when they need that the IT create a new Windows and SAP user.

Hi All Is it possible to have a dynamic title for a request template? I have a template created for HR to ask for employee account suspension. One of the fields in the template is "employee name". I would like to populate the value of this field to the request title. Is this even possible? Many thanks Tatiana

Hello All... I try to customize an report a way, that it shows class in the output. So not all statuses but just Active or Closed. Any idea?? Best regards Michael

So I've searched the forums, looked at the Marketplace, and google searched for a while to see the limitation of the Email Rules. So this is probably a feature request and not actually a "how do you do this?" type question. I have a monitoring system that sends an email to SysAid to generate a ticket. The Email Rules allow me to search the subject, body, etc for specific text But, it doesn't seem to allow for direct linking for Selectable Fields. For instance. We use the CMDB, and we have all of our Switches in it with their CI# (We are not using Assets, don't ask its complicated and that decision pre-dates me by several years) "Main CI" is a field we use on practically every ticket we process. It would be nice if there was the ability to find a specific start character string, followed by a specific end character string from the email, and to use whatever is in between as an Importable Field. Example: Statement | Body | Custom Field Starts | "CI#:" Statement | Body | Custom Fiel

Question:When I click on a Sharefile link that was in an email that was forwarded to me I get Access Denied.Answer:Links that are sent from Sharefile are unique to the user that they are sent to.If you have access to the folder of the user that forwarded you the link you can log in to Sharefile and find the item in there, but you will not be able to retrieve it using the link.If you also get a link directly from Sharefile when items are uploaded for that user the link in the email that was sent directly to you from Sharefile will work. 

Hi All, Im fairly new to Sysaid ( only been using it 4 months) but I'm getting the hang of things fairly nicely. Ive set up about 10 different departments on our SSP with basic funcuniality. Im looking to improve these going forwards. I have 2 departments that interact daily. Department A check the end-user data and once the data is correct they send it on to department B who check if the end-user can change course for instance. Im wondering if its possible for the SSP ticket to come into department A who will be the initial process manager then once they have done their checks pass it onto department B who will be notified. Both departments have separate admin licences and work as separate process managers. I'm just not sure if it's possible for a ticket to come into 1 department as a process manager then once they have done their piece if they can be assigned it to a different department and process manager. Ideally, id like it to look like the below image. https://ibb.

Hi all, I am in need of some assistance. We have been using the self service portal for quite a number of years. Our issue is when someone uses the self service portal and submits a request in with the location it does not appear in the back end admin view. Even though the Request Template has the option to have the location set as a drop down list in the workflow tab. I am lost on how to fix it. I hope there is no need to code anything in the back end for it to function properly. It defeats the purpose of having the template setup i believe. Cheers, Pete

I have been told for the past year the mobile app for on-prem users is coming. I am still waiting, anyone else waiting?

where did it go? We have technicians trying to re-download it and there is no longer an app on the Google Play store. The SysAid website still mentions it - https://www.sysaid.com/help-desk-software/mobile-apps but the link is busted. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sysaid&hl=en

Hi. I recently installed a server using sysaid_free for linux. I have met all the installation requirements and the site is functional. My server runs on VMWare. And I have configured apache2 to force SSL, using self-signed certificates. Now, when I try to login with the HelpDesk app for android, and enter the credentials and the IP address, it returns the message "login failed: Network Security error" I tried to enter with the format "https: //" or with "http: // {my_address}: 8080" and with "https: // {my_address}: 8080", but I always get the same error. Through the web browser, there is no problem. My site is 190.86.176.45 Help me please.

Hello, We have recently setup SysAid and I am trying to configure the app. If I login with the generic sysaid user everything works fine but if I login using my personal credentials or indeed any credentials that were imported using the LDAP plugin it will not work. I get the following error— Of course, I've tried my password several times, I've tried different LDAP users, I've tried different formats for my username (e.g. DOMAIN\username, username@domain.com, DOMAIN\\username, domain\UserName, etc) but nothing seems to want to let me in except the user that was created directly on the system rather than imported. I have checked that the users in question have the phone app permission turned on as well. Does anyone here use the Android App with users imported from Active Directory? What format does your login take? Thanks.

Why does the iOS app not have the same filters applied as per what is configured on our SysAid instance? We have static filters applied on our different views in SysAid but when logging in to the mobile app those filters do not seem to apply. Why are there two different user experiences with your product? We have raised this at different times with support and this does not seem to gain any traction. If I have to configure the mobile app separately from how it's configured on our instance then it becomes a frustrating user experience.

Hi, I have been using SysAid Helpdesk app on android phone for a while and it works fine. I just change my phone and I found out that there is another app for SysAid called SysAid Helpdesk (see attachment SysAidApp.png) and I would like to try it. The issue I have is when I connect on this app, I have the error message: Invalid field name:third_level_category (see other attachment SysAidError.png), when I check in the review for this app 2 other people had the same issue but I can't find the solution anywhere so this is why I created this post. I would also like to know why is there 2 apps and which one should I use. Thanks

Hello. SysAid has created on my computer an administrator account, of which I do not know the password and can not install or uninstall programs. How do I cancel this account or change the password to one I know?

I am a little stumped, when a new ticket is entered in the system only one member of the staff is getting an email and I want all of the staff to see the tickets coming in. I am assuming this is a group setting but cannot seem to figure out where to change it so the whole teams sees these emails.

Why does Sysaid not have functionality to update an asset via API? You can update a CI but then our Asset and CI information do not match. If we were allowed to update an asset then the system would sync over that update to the CI. I think something needs to change... rather allow us to update an asset or for the CI and Assets to synchronize in both directions.

WE upgraded to the latest version of Sysaid Help Desk recently, and before the upgrade, when you closed an incident, you view would return to the Active/New Incident list. Now, it just stays on the closed incident and you have to browse back to the incident list. Where is the setting to change this back to the previous behavior where you would be returned to the SR list?

Hiya, Apologies for this, as it might seem crude and ill-informed, but I am relatively new to designing and re-arranging SysAid on the back end of things, and the self service portal is coming live very soon - I was just wondering whether anyone had any basic tips for me to get the ball rolling in terms of making the Self Service Portal more personal to our company? (E.g: adding our colours, adding custom icons etc) Any help would be much appreciated! Izzy :)

I'm trying to find a way to send a workflow notification from one action item with the values of fields from a previous action item. I have tried looking into copying fields over, but I would rather not have to do that and it isn't even working for me in the dependencies (nothing populates in the second field despite having lots of custom fields on each). The code that support kept giving me was for "GetCurrentActionItem(..)" or w/e, but I am not looking for information on the current action item, but on an action item two action items back in the chain. We are currently on the most up-to-date on prem version.

Hello all, can someone let me where the Java message come from? And how to resolve my code? I just wanting to create a SR request from a template. ---My code-- [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = "Tls, Tls11, Tls12, Ssl3" $sysAidURI = "https://mycompany.sysaidit.com/api/v1" Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "$sysAidURI/login" -ContentType "application/json" -Body '{"user_name": "username", "password": "password"}' -Method 'POST' -SessionVariable websession $Body= '{ "info": [{"key":"due_date", "value":1646857974017}, {"key":"status", "value":2}, {"key":"problem_type","value":"Vulnerability Management"}, {"key":"notes","value":[ {"userName":"sysaid","createDate":1646857974017,"text":"Note 123"} ]}, {"responsibility":35}] }' $Data = Invoke-RestMethod -uri "$sysAidURI/sr?type=request&template=145" -WebSession $websession -method POST -ContentType application/json -Body $Body ---And the terminal

Hello! I've added some values in User Custom List 1. Is there a way to display these values directly on an SR opened by that user? I thought about adding a custom field to the SR and trying to somehow bring the value of the User Custom List into that field, but I've so far found no way of doing this. I've tried to assign a value to that custom field with Escalation Rules, but I haven't found a way to use data directly from the database. Thank you!

Is anyone else on Inst06us and dealing with this?

Good morning, Under Settings > General There is 'Notify the following users when a service record changes:' It says on the 'i' icon that if I am the admin and I edit the SR, I will not receive a notification. Is there a way to change this so that if I add a note, it will send me a notification? I wanted to test some things but I can't if I can't receive the notifications...

I have a question that I hope is easy for someone to help with. When we get a ticket submitted we get a email that has the field Request User: Domain\(User logon name) We would like it to me something with more information like Request User: Display name Where in sysaid would I be able to configure how that "Request User" field is populated?

FYI if you are attempting to set up and linux agent. I am currently running CentOs Stream so your mileage may vary depending on your distro. The install appeared to be successful but never actually ran. Turned out that selinux set to enforcing was my issue using the RPM from Sysaid: setenforce 0 rpm -i SysAidAgent_21.4.45.rpm /usr/lib64/SysAid/SetupAgentSettings.out --serverURL=https://sysaid.url --account=account-name --serial=serial-number setenforce 1
