Can someone tell me how to change the ldap integration 1 credentials? Or how to supply new/different credentials for ldap?

Hi everybody :)We / I have a question regarding “Routing Rules List”. The issue here is, that if someone submits an incident directly on Self Service Portal, it routes it as it should, but it doesn’t route incidents, that are submitted via email. This worked all along till some point and it stoped working completely. Does anyone have any ideas, is there some checkmark that got disabled/enabled by accedent? Can I view some logs, how specific incident is handled when it comes to Helpdesk, so I can see where it goes wrong? Thank you all for help and regardsMatic

Our requests are setup to go through 2 workflow levels of approval. These approval levels are set up as Service Action Items.  I want to send reminder emails if the approver has not approved the request within 3 days of the Request Date/Time.I set up an Escalation Rule to do this but it is not working. I set the email to go to myself.Escalates service records with type Request, only non-merged tickets, with status In Approval Process. Triggers on 72 hours 0 minutes after RequestTime. Notifies: Jane Doe.I want to notify the approver on the Service Action Item. Any help would be appreciated.    

Hello Sysaid Community, I am starting to finish up a Sysaid workflow and have a quick question on data population or if this is possible. Under my Action View labeled ‘IT Execution’ This View has a 3 Action Items within it. All Three require the Legal Name, and 2 Numbers below that for our Admins to know. I placed these Text/Integer fields above the Action items but when testing the data population these fields remain blank. If I move it into an action item such as Account creation, then they are filled but not when they are above it. Is this something that is doable or am I doing something wrong. Or should I just be placing the same three fields into the action items individually.The Request Template:  The Action Item: 

Hi, I’ve been trying to set up a template to where there is an action item that will be assigned to a specific Admin Group.What will happen is when the action item is activated, there is this Admin Group tab in which I will choose the specific Admin Group. When I click Ok/Apply, an email notification will be sent out to the members. I have set up a workflow notification for this as well and integrated this on the action item. However, no email is received on the members’ end and the other thing also is, I need to complete the action item, re-open it and that’s when the emails are received on their end.  I attached a history of a sample ticket I have ran and tested, for your reference. Can someone please help. Thanks.   

Hi All,  Does anyone have a way of changing the process manager within a ticket with the workflows? So the senario is a request ticket comes into department A. They do some check then it will go to department B they do there bit and then Department C do the final piece and closes the ticket.  In each stage of the request I’m already using Assigned To to field with another custom field so tickets can be assigned to individual members of the specific teams. What i want to happen is once department A has finished their part and clicked complete it automatically changed the process manager to Department 2 who will then get email notification and the ticket visible in their queue and same for department C who will then close the ticket.  Anyone have any suggestions? Cheers Dave

We need a way for users that primarily work in the admin portal to see workflows assigned to them.  A tab or some type of notification queue would solve this.  Having to look in the end user portal is not a great solution.

Good morning,We have a Request Template that we would like to add attachments too. However, when we add the attachments, they do not populate in our test requests. Is this a limitation or are we doing something incorrectly? This is just a screenshot as an example, I realize there are currently no attachments selected. 

I’ve been able to (somewhat) get the Launch Automation Process to work for calling a Powershell script, but I’m having trouble with the script always reporting as Failed. At first I wondered if I needed to use an exit code, but even that isn’t seemingly working. How do you need to end a Powershell script to get Sysaid to report a success instead of a failure?Powershell script is currently (not sure how to terminate it)$loc = "C:\AutomateJoe\Powershell\output.txt"Add-Content $loc "This is 1:"Add-Content $loc $in_param_01$process_exit_code = 0exit 0 Logs attached. 

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.

I'm creating an Offboarding template for HR to fill out. One of the items that was brought up is they would like to see all of the assigned assets to the user. I created a Relational field for Employees that HR can use to select the person who will be offboarding. Is it possible to also have all of the Assets of the user in the 'Employee' field shown in the SR?

Hello SysAid I have a problem in my escalation rules! None of my many rules still work after the update to version 21.4.44 b88! I saw that there is a new field "fashion" and I think it has to do with that. Here is an example of one of my rules: Escalates service data records with status Active, Weight = 0 Is triggered 0 hours 1 minutes before DueTime. Set the following fields: Weight = 1 What do I have to do to make it work again? cheers Karlson

Hope that's not a dirty word here :) . I'm charged with determining whether our help desk ticket system can be transferred from TeamTracker to SysAid. In particular, at one point we have two sub-tasks "waiting for approval". When one is approved, it cycles right back into "waiting for approval". When the other is approved, it is also sent back to "waiting for approval", but now that they're both approved, they "auto-transition" (TeamTracker's term) to "Approved". I need to know if SysAid has this functionality and would much appreciate anyone who can tell me. Thanls!

I am configuring a basic approval workflow that has 3 levels. However, at the 2nd level, that person can outright approve the request OR use a secondary yes/no list to require another's review for approval. How can this "conditional" approval be configured within the workflow? Thank you in advance for any assistance. Robert

Is there a way to send a reminder notification to those assigned to an action item when it has not been completed within a certain length of time?

We're hot on the heels of launching the new Workflow Designer which will be enabled for cloud customers in the coming 4-5 weeks.

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

I'm trying to create an off-boarding workflow. HR will be the submitting user, and on creation of the Service Request, they need to be able to select another user in the system. That selected user will be pre-populated in the Manager Task tab where the manager uploads a completed form and marks the tab as complete. 1. How does HR select the manager? 2. How does the manager get notified of a task? (managers are not SysAid Administrators)

How do you setup your workflow notifications on your workflow designer tabs, so that you can send out an email to individuals/groups per each workflow designer tab as it is completed? Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, Clint

Hi I am trying to build a workflow which allows an employee to complete a spreadsheet and attach it to a Service Request which then needs to go to a member of Finance for approval. The employee in Finance is not an admin user and cannot be set up as one due to the fact that our Admin portal contains sensitive HR data. I can attach the spreadsheet to the original SR but when someone in Finance opens it they cannot access it. Is there anyway to make an attachment move from end user to end user via a workflow? many thanks Andy

SysAid’s Email Rules apply a set of predefined actions on tickets that are automatically generated by emails from your users. Admins have been allowed to configure a rule to search text in an email’s body, subject or Sender (From) and to use the text to determine which rule to apply to the ticket. Now admins can also decide to search based on the address that the user sent the email to. This can be very helpful when admins have multiple email aliases that reach the same inbox. This way if an admin has an email inbox that is accessed by multiple companies, departments, or some other designation, using different aliases, they can apply different email rules based on which alias the email is sent to. Let's say that you set up your email integration to generate tickets for emails sent to support@yourdomain.com. You can now create an alias named urgent_support@yourdomain.com that is routed to the same inbox. Just set up an email rule to check the address that the email is sent to and ass

Sometimes, for various reasons, a call is in a state where it can't be closed because of something that has to happen in the future, but there is nothing that can be done until that time comes. For example: - someone logs a call to do something for them on a certain date (in the future) - most of a call is completed, but there is one task left that needs to be done in the future These calls are not ready to close, so they take up "space" on an active queue. It would be nice to be able to set a reminder time, then close the call and have it re-open automatically when the time comes. We already use reminders for warranty expiries, but i can't see how to make that work for this scenario. Thanks

It would be really useful t be able to include details of SLAs in to auto notifications sent to users. Currently this doesn't appear to be an option.
