assyst General

Hi everyone!I have been using assyst for a few month now, and I was wondering how to approach project managment and documentation. I don’t really see dedicated spaces or structures for this, so I’m curius how others are handling it.For now we are using a separate service department for projects, workmanager, and the project name is selected as Item B on event forms. How do you organize your projects in assyst? 

Does anyone have any guidance on we can utilise the ETM to add security groups to an Active Directory account? We currently have a hybrid environment and some security groups cannot be managed from azure so rules out the azure powershell runbook option I have found on the wiki. We are self hosted and running 1.10 version of the ETM.Thanks

Hello IFS Community,I am struggling with a CSS customization issue and have exhausted my usual solutions. I would appreciate any guidance.My Goal:Apply custom CSS styles to the login and logout pages for both assystMob and assystNETMob.The Problem: My custom CSS is working perfectly on the assystMob login page only but not logout . However, the exact same customization has no effect on the assystNETMob login or logout pages. I have verified in the browser's developer tools that the HTML classes and IDs I am targeting do exist on the assystNETMob pages. I have tried various selectors and !important rules, but after saving and refreshing, nothing changes on the assystNETMob side. My Question:Is there a different process or a specific location for customizing the CSS for assystNETMob compared to the standard assystMob? Are there any known caching mechanisms or build steps required for assystNETMob customizations to take effect?Any insight into the architectural differences or a poin

Hello everyone.We have a potential use case for the assyst CMDB where the form could contain up to 150-200 custom fields. I’m wondering if anyone has any experience with this amount of custom fields in a custom form, and if so, whether there any impacts (such as performance)? Of course we have the possibility of splitting those fields in multiple item forms to reduce potential negative impacts, but any other comments or even suggestions are welcome.Thanks!

we would like to create our CMDB in AssystWeb too. Here we face the problem of representing the product cleanly so that it can be evaluated well later on. I will illustrate our problem with an example:We have the application Assyst, which uses several technologies: Java 11 and MSSQL 2022. Therefore I created a relationship between the Assyst application and the technologies Java 11 and MSSQL 2022. Java 11 belongs to the product Java from Oracle. MSSQL 2022 belongs to MSSQL from Microsoft. Additionally, the application XY also uses Java 11.I can represent the technologies and products in two ways: Create the products as products in Assyst and maintain the technologies as objects. This results in the lowest maintenance effort and the Explorer view is relatively clean.In this case I would only have to maintain one relationship from the Assyst application to Java 11. Because Java 11 is derived from the product Java, the product assignment would be resolved automatically.Create the technolo

Hi,Has anybody had any success in updating contact users profile pictures from Entra / Azure?Ideally, this would be done during the ETM Contact User Gateway runs.Interested to see what other people are doing?

We are pleased to announce that assystITOM 25R1 SU2 is now available to download from our ⁠CDN.   This release primarily includes an upgraded version of SQLite, which addresses previously identified issues and enhances overall stability. The release notes can be viewed ⁠here

We are pleased to announce that assyst 25R1 SU2 is now available to download from our CDN.   Within this release, Miniconda has been completely removed from the assyst installer, eliminating any dependency on Conda for AI Server installation. This change was implemented due to recent licensing updates from Anaconda Inc. If you use the AI Server, IFS recommends upgrading to a version of assyst that no longer relies on Miniconda (assyst 24R2 SU6 or assyst 25R1 SU2 and later). This release also contains a fix for P16802. The release notes can be viewed here

Hi all,How can I find the name of the fields I need to reference in ETM via dot notation? For example, if I am in a datamapper where the assyst Resource is Event I would reference the outbound value of the Event id as outbound,self.id. If I want to reference the status I would use outbound.self.eventStatusEnum. This is not obvious to me. I would think it would be outbound.self.status or something similar. What I am looking for is a reference guide or any way to find every attribute of every object.Thanks.Trevor

Good morning/afternoon.I'm not very familiar with the Rest API and currently I’m developing a project that will automate some events in my workspace, and I'm having a hard time retrieving the full description of an event from a request. I can get the short description, the custom fields, and basically every other piece of data I've looked for — but I can't retrieve the full description.I've already tried the following (and other similar) requests:/assystREST/v2/events/{event_id}/assystREST/v2/events/{event_id}?fields=customFields,customFields.singleSelectValue,customFields.systemLookupValue,customFields.multiSelectValues I also know it's probably not under actions, but I tried this as well:/assystREST/v2/actions?eventId={event_id}At the image you can see what I’m looking for. Thank you in advance for your support.

Hello! How to mask data field in IFS assyst? i.e.EmpNo- 12345678 should be masked as XXXXX6789. Only the last 4 digits of EmpNo should be visible. Appreciate if any expert who can help on this.

I have a question regarding the use of the Event Monitor in assyst 11.8.3 or later.Is there a way to capture the Selected Answer on a ticket that has one or more approvals?In other words, if a ticket goes through multiple approval steps, how can I identify which answer was chosen via the Event Monitor?

Hello. We have a custom field added to our Contact User form for job title. There is a requirement to add the value of the job title to the info zone for the affected user and reporting user, but I am unable to determine if custom fields can be used in the Contact User Field Definitions System Parameter. Contact User form: We’d like the value to appear here:  Can anyone let me know if they have been able to configure custom field values to be visible on the info zone, or if this is even possible.  Thank you.  Duncan  

We recently updated to the version 25R1. Unfortunately, we are now experiencing an issue where all object searches display a maximum of 20 objects as results. We cannot figure out what is causing this. In the previous version, everything worked fine. It seems that a parameter is either new or incorrectly set. Does anyone have an idea what we can check? The IFS support has not been able to assist us so far (which is a bit frustrating). Many thanks for your help!

I have a problem with the Assyst Web homepage -  when I configure the layout and add monitors or reports, everything looks fine. However, after I reload the page or leave the homepage and return - I can’t see any of the reports or monitors. Assyst remembers the layout and what I placed in each panel, but instead of the content I only see a grey background with “EVENT MONITOR” or “REPORT” in the panel header. We’re running Assyst on-premise -  version 24R2 SU3 and I have full administrator permissions. Has anyone experienced a similar issue?

Hi!I have a question about using action templates and referring to custom fields on an event logging form. TLDR: Is there an easy way to get the value and/or shortCode from a specific customField, either by making VTLs in substitution keywords, or directly in an action template? I’m lookint for something similar to how visibility expressions can refer to a custom fields, and if possible how to get a list from multi-select fields.  Some context:Today a lot of time is spent on copy-paste from Assyst to Outlook when our IT users have to send email from certain postboxes, such as when comunicating with certain suppliers.We want to recude time spent on copy-paste from Assyst by pre populating most or all of the email from data already entered into an event. In this effort, we want to make action templates that create the emails for easy copy-paste into Outlook, and this template then needs to extract some values from a select set of custom fields. The desired outcome would be a reusable sub

Is there a way to pull Event Info into an auto generated email when you submit a ticket in assystNET and assystWEB?Currently, our “Thank you” email provides the ticket number etc. and then the Event Description (EVENT_DESC).  The issue with that is that it shows ALL questions in the form even if they were hidden and/or not filled out. The data we want to show in the email are ONLY the questions that were answered (what shows in assystNET once submitted)We just want to hide any unanswered questions in the notification email. Currently, it shows like this:[[INCIDENT DESCRIPTION\DESCRIPTION DE L'INCIDENT]]No description entered.

I have logged an idea for this, but am wondering whether anyone may have a better idea of achieving this?We have a custom logging form that has a custom item lookup, and what I would like to be able to do is provide the user with a short summary of what that item is/does. It doesn’t look like the we are able to amend the column profile that appears in the item lookup so it includes a remarks field from the CMDB, so the only way currently to achieve this is to create a caption field and manually enter the text - but for 100’s of items, this is not feasible. Ideally, what I would like to happen is when an item is selected, the next custom is a caption that is configured dynamically pull through the information stored in the remarks field of that item in the CMDB - only needing 1 caption field instead of 100’s. This currently isn’t possible, and logged an idea for this 5 months ago, still with no solution.Is anyone able to advise if there is a better way to achieve this? Any help is appre

Hi, is it possible to display a read-only field in the Item Form which shows the information that is stored in supplier master data (e.g. Remarks field)? 

Hi everyone,Is it possible in the Item form to compute a field directly while saving the Item, or alternatively via a trigger to the Action Processor?Here’s the scenario:We have two fields:Item End Date Item Notification DaysWe’d like to automatically calculate and keep updated a third field:Item Notification Date = Item End Date - Item Notification DaysThe Item Notification Date should be a read-only field, managed entirely by the system.Has anyone implemented something similar or found a reliable approach to achieve this?Thanks in advance!

When creating a new Service Offering in Service Manager, I sometimes have to create a new image to be used for that service offering. To be able to use this new image in Service Manager, I have to go into AssystWeb > Administration > Images and then upload the image.Would it be possible to have that same option in Service Manager as well, so that when I go to add the image, I can just upload it from there? Something as simple as adding the same upload functionality found in AssystWeb.  

Hello,I have a question regarding how Info Zone retrieves its values from Events, and whether it’s possible to maintain the default behavior while also adding extra fields as requested by our IT users.Defining custom fields works somewhat as expected; however, the behaviour of using system defaults and custom ones are not the same, and I’m having troubles sorting out how to avoid experience reduced functionality compared to the default setup.In my attempts to add custom values to the system parameter that controls this, I’ve ended up losing functionality that our IT users expect and rely on for a smooth workflow. For example, Info Zone normally populates the extension field using values from the Event form, and only falls back to the Contact User form if no values are provided in the Event, this is not the case when using a set of custom definitions. Another important feature I haven’t been able to grasp is how to consitently replicate is the conditional display of rows in Info Zone, a
