Hi Does anyone know if it is possible to change the format of the Service Desk Templates > Workflow Notifications to match that of the Customize > Email Notifications? I have created a new set of Email Notifications that are a massive improvement on the original default plain text ones, and so far are getting great feedback - apart from one downside. We have a Material Request template that, once filled in and submitted, sends an email to a particular manager for approval. This email is generated within Service Desk Templates > Workflow Notifications but is just plain text with no way of setting like the main emails. Is there a way to improve this or would it be possible to do this in a future release? Thanks

Hello, I'm using SysAid Free. I see in Custom Notification the following notification that send email to end users at every SR status change. Name: "Email to end user regarding a Service Record" Subject: ${StatusNotification} Is it possible to configure SysAid to send email notification at every SR change, not just status, for example: new activity change priority change urgency Thanks Regards Christian

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.

Hi I have created some new email notification templates to improve the way the information is relayed to the end user. I created them in our sandbox environment for testing and then transferred to out live environment when approved. One thing that I have noticed is that in the sandbox the notes are in the order of newest at the top, but in live the newest is at the bottom (see attached images). Is there any way of reversing this in live so the newest is at the top? I thought there was a tick box somewhere for this but I cannot find this now. Many thanks

We'd like to automatically generate a Request based on an email account instead of an incident. A) Is this possible? 2) ITIL is responsible for all of society's ills.

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.

Hello. I installed Sysaid on a server and installed the agent on all the machines in my LAN. I would like to know if it is possible to have a complete list of all the software installed on all the machines of the LAN using the POST or GET calls thank you

Hi Everyone, Random Admin users are experiencing "Internal Error No#67", we noticed this started happened after we started customizing Views. Any help on this topic? So weird it is only happening to certain admins not everyone.

So we have an issue with our sysaid helpdesk LDAP integration. We use sysaid's password reset portal service with it's native text provider and it works great. The only problem is our LDAP connection overwrites the number a end user puts in themselves in the self service portal with the number in AD, so I was wondering if we could have a LDAP connection made to sync data both ways. Essentially my current idea is to have a second similar LDAP config that only syncs phone numbers both ways. Is this possible? Also, is there a better way? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Kyler C.

Hi Could someone advise what REST API call I use to download/retrieve attachments against an SR? Thanks in advance

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

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

Hi all, I'm using Postman and when calling the API (GET /...sr?view=CAFM Update) to get a list of SRs matching the 'CAFM Update' view, I get an error 500 response: { "status": 500, "message": "Failed to load list of service records" } I can successfully use the GET /...sr?view=CAFM New API call to return SRs matching that view. Could someone advise what the error means and how to resolve it? If I try to use the 'CAMF Update' view in SysAid portal, I don't get any results - could this me what the message is saying? This is an issue I need resolving ASAP so grateful for any advise you can offer. Thanks

hi. I need to run a script (.bat) when a request is submitted. i am an administrator and i am writing a code in groovy in tab "trigger" (field customizzation) but i don't wnow the sysntax to call a script. thank you

Good afternoon. I hope someone can help me with this bit of coding for my email template. I am no good at coding :( We have a particular request template for our Purchasing department that requires the user to fill in two extra boxes (Supplier Name & Materials Required) that aren't in other templates. These are customized fields are linked to Service Record - Custom Entity Menu (see attached image). I want the email notification to include these text entries, but only if they are present. The code I have is this: #if(${SubCategory} && ${SubCategory}!="Material Requisition" )Supplier Name and Contact Details (if known): ${sr_cust_proc_suppname} Materials Required (Qty, Description, Cost, Total Price): ${sr_cust_proc_materials} ${SubCategory}#end All of the above was guess work from looking at other examples. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Lee

Has anyone been successful with doing Computer Telephony Integration with SysAid using telephone number? My development has not been successful with doing CTI with SysAid using the provided CTI. The provided restAPI only works for username but not telephone number. Did anybody modify the SysAid database directly to do the CTI with SysAid? Thanks.

Hi, I've seen the "open service records per day" dashboard - I wanted something like "active service records per day" or "closed service records per day". Both would be nice to have ;) Thanks and best regards, Sven

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?

Is there a way to allow users to respond to ticket updates, but not create/reopen tickets by email?

I attempted to find best practices or similar questions in the forums and documentation but couldn't immediately find it. We have a large amount of end users for a "Domain" "Company" (whatever you want to call it) that we no longer provide service to. Those end users originally we brought in via LDAP integration. Disabling them all seems like something I should do ... right? Deleting them seems like it will break their ticket history? I'm pretty new to SysAid Administration, and I don't have a colleague who knows more about SysAid to lean on. Not asking you to solve my problem for me, Just point me to the right Best Practices Documentation for this kind of situation, or the risks, rewards, for disabling/deleting these end users.

Hello everyone, as new members of the SysAid community were were hoping someone may have some guidance. We are running a Win 10 environment and are having an issue when trying to send out a broadcast message to our users no message ever appears. We have all of the new SysAid agents installed, remote connections work as expected and we are able to see the users online.

API Usage - UpdateUser

We are having so many issues with our OnPremise installation, that we want to try a clean installation and see if this will help us. (it is after all and upgrade on upgrade since version. 3) But already at the LDAP integration I stumple upon my first issue... Why cant I enter credentials like I used to (it used to be text-fields, but now a drop down) https://ibb.co/CVjv8y7

Hi all, When a user emails an issue into the helpdesk, we are finding that we get CSS at the top of the description field. Our description would look like this P.ImprintUniqueID { MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt } LI.ImprintUniqueID { MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt } DIV.ImprintUniqueID { MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt } TABLE.ImprintUniqueIDTable { MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt } DIV.Section1 { page: Section1 } Hi, my computer is broken, please fix Has anybody seen this issue and if so do you know how to resolve? Many thanks Newguy

Anyone know how to add a disable asset setting to the asset info window? It would be a great QoL improvement.
