SysAid For Teams now displays images, tables and rich text properties of the original article. These visual elements enhance the overall experience of reading articles and will help users self-resolve issues. Important Notes: Article view in iOS is not yet supported. Images added to the article are only displayed if embedded.

Hi On-Prem SysMates, Can I call you the OOPG’s (the original on-premises gangsters)? Ya, not everything needs an abbreviation probably. In any case, our new version, which includes a new dashboards series, Linux agent for RPM, and more is up and ready for your upgrade: Download SysAid v22.4.45 On-Prem Release What's in this release you ask? Let’s see:Three new Dashboard Charts focusing on Action Items New charts added to the out-of-the-box list of charts, available in the Advanced Reporting section in Settings called:Action Items Overview - Helping admins keep track of their workflow tasks. Action Items by Category  - Identify which categories are most used for workflow action items. Open Action Items - Review how many action items are active in their accounts. They can filter the action items by, Category, Type, and other criteria to best meet their individual needs.​​​​​​and a supporting act: Service Record Actions List View Improved, which directly correlates with the new dashboard charts. In the table display, three new columns are included:  Service Record Type Category Sub Category (Optional) Same as the fields in the Action Items Overview chart. New and Advanced Linux Agent for Leading DistributionsWe now support RPM distribution for Linux. The new RPM agent, is an application, installed on the asset, supporting leading Linux distributions: RedHat, Debian, and Ubuntu. The RPM agent includes enhanced functionality:Improved inventory capabilities, monitoring, auto upgrading, controlling the agent setting remotely, and troubleshooting. Read here for more information.  Query Builder: Low-code Configurability of Date FiltersInstead of having to choose start and end dates, admins can now choose from a simple dropdown list of pre-defined time periods in the query builder. This is available on list filters related to all entities across SysAid.  This saves admins time and requires low effort to set up as no code is required.   Edit User Group Page Improved The edit page for User Groups has been improved, sectioning the information and actions into three tabs: General, Members, and Permissions, as well as adding option to delete or duplicate group.  Eliminate mundane user management tasks with ABots ABots are simple plug-n-play bots that automate the most common manual and repetitive IT admin tasks.Our first ABots support your most common user repository tasks, for example: new employee onboarding, role changes, permissions management for temp workers or visitors, and offboarding.

Hi SysMates, January is all over and we are actually still in 2023, and we continue to roll out more features. Let’s check it out: White label the SysAid BotThe SysAid bot on Microsoft Teams can be customized by Admins to fit their unique company brand and culture; Create a bot ‘persona’, consistent with brand identity and IT requirements Align with internal corporate themes, colors, and branding Learn more about setup here.Customize your default values for Asset TypesThe Asset Types page now includes a “Default Location/Department/Company” column. This enables you to define default values for each individual asset type – providing added flexibility and customization options for assets’ default values.When defining the Location, Department, or Company you can choose the logic for each value: “Same as owner”, “Set manually” or “None”.  These two are big but they are not alone we also delivered: #18814 - Company names with special characters in Azure syncs Fixed a bug that caused the company entities to be duplicated when imported from Azure, if the company name included special symbols (i.e. ä, ß, é, ç etc).#24673  - Automate Joe column duplications Fixed a bug for accounts using Automate Joe, that caused the “Visible in automation panel” column to be duplicated in the “Request Templates” list view.#17830  - Service catalog search results in SSP Fixed a bug that sometimes caused the SSP to open the homepage (when clicking on a search result) instead of the desired service catalog page.#14503 - New tag for email notifications: $RequestUserManagerThe new $RequestUserManager email notification tag is now used to retrieve the Request User’s manager name according to the “User name Display Method” (as defined in the Customize Appearance settings). This tag replaces the previous $ReqUser.userManagerName tag.   What is all this you ask? Version 23.1.30, gradual rollout: February 5-12, 2023and It's also here If you brand your bot, will you share what you created with us in the comments? would love to see 🤗Till next time,
