assyst General

Hello, I am new to IFS Assyst product, but I have recently started to explore and research the Wiki doc of the product and more precisely the REST API. My main focus and use case is to be able to work with the Events → Incidents (read,create,update) and Service Requests (read,create,update).Based on the Wiki doc and testing by myself I already have example requests how to read/create/update these type of Events, but I still can not fully understand the basic - the discovery of the schema and the raml documents https://wiki.axiossystems.com/assyst11-6Wiki/index.php/Integrations:assystREST#Discoverability I would like to know how to read and

Hi all,What are we trying to do?We need to know how to limit a contact user search on a custom field to where the userItem relationship is NOT discontinued and exclude those that are.The backgroundOur objectiveWe are trying to clear down legacy user-item relationship data in our system and avoiding a hard delete where possible.How we are currently set upWe hold our cost centres as CIs and create relationships between these items and our approver’s contact users records. our forms have two fields working in tandem, which cost centre they want to use and which approver to direct the approval to.Dual field screen shot The lookup filters on the budget holder custom field is…select usr.id f

We upgraded to assyst version 11.5.1 and I have one user who cannot get assystNET to load at all. She just gets a blank white screen. We have tried the following but nothing has worked.Cleared browser cache/history Cleared temp files Cleared roaming files Restarted machine Tested in a different browser (Edge since it was initially happening in Chrome Tried different instances in Citrix (Chrome and Edge) Tried different instances on a VM (Chrome and Edge) Updated Chrome on the VM to match the newer version locally

We currently use our test environment for training our new service desk staff on IFS assyst, however, we currently do not update any knowledge procedures in test so when they are doing the testing with the new analysts the new analysts are seeing outdated information. It seems like a lot of resource time to update KP’s in test and then production to ensure the environments are in alignment so they can be utilized for training new hires. Have you ran into this before? What do other clients do in this scenario? What do you do internally for IFS to maintain the test environment? We are making changes non-stop the KP’s (we have two full time resources who focus on knowledge management) so to maintain KP’s in both environments would be impossible.

Hi,  Could ask for the stages within the process flow to be only RFC actions not generating Tasks ???for implementing as normal task assyst web 11.3regards Ziad

Hi All,  We are trying to get guest users on our AAD to access our AssystNet. However when we use the UPN which is formatted as “Firstname.Surname_<Third Party Domain>#EXT~@<Our Domain>.onmicrosoft.com” as the contact users login field beginning ad-. The user is receiving a SAML error.  Has anyone had any success in granting guest users access to their assystNet with AzureAD authentication? 

Hi I would like to ask if there is any way to Auto-Populate a field based on the content of other fields for example:we have 2 fields: 1- Start date 2- End date then we have a field called “ Duration “ to be populated automatically  based on math calculation of start and end date. 

Hi Together, Facing an issue while performing the Request process to be completed:created a new Prcess for Ordering but can not execute the Phase actions . Always in every stage/phase get the message:“The current stage contains mandatory tasks which must be resolved before the next stage can be proceed” But there are no tasks listed to  be resolved. Maybe someone has a hint regarding this Thanks in advanceRalf

Hi, I am trying to build a new Workflow Process with the Process Designer in assyst v11.5I am not fully familiar with the Workflow expressions, and ho it can help me in aceiving this, but I have a vague idea how they work. Anyways, in that workflow process, at some point, a Decision Task would be assigned to a specific SVD (support team) and the decision they will need to do has 2 more “sub-levels”So, to summarize, that could be something like that:1st Decision Task  = Select the “Level of approval” , let’s say between “Rejected, Level1, Level2 or Level3”then the 2nd decision they neeed to make would be, if Level1 to 3 is selected, then decide if affected user can use “BYOD” or “Company Devices”and last, 3rd decision would be, for each of the above choices, Decide if user can use “any type” of device, or “Phone Only” or “Computer Only”…I know I could build so

Hi All,I have created an assyst user but I couldn’t find where I can setup the username and the password for the user. What am I missing? Note: I’m creating this user to log in to AssytWeb.          Regards,Nuwanthika

Hi,I'm working on an Action Template and require the custom field values in a form entered by the user to automatically populate into the template.As of now, we are only capable of pulling Standard field values of a form, but my question is for Custom field in a form. Is it possible to get them auto-populate by writing expressions? If so, then please let us know. Also is it possible to grab the details of the user from his/her contact-user profile using an expression in the template? Below is a Service Offering Form and we need some of its CUSTOM fields to automatically populate in our Action Template.A form with Custon fields highlighted.Thank you in advance.

Hello.         I am unable to open customizer when ever I tried to open it it’s always give me this errorjava.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: https://saned.iau.edu.sa:443/assystweb/applets/customiser.jar    at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream0(Unknown Source)    at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.access$200(Unknown Source)    at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection$9.run(Unknown Source)    at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection$9.run(Unknown Source)    at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)    at java.security.AccessController.doPrivilegedWithCombiner(Unknown Source)    at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(Unknown Source)    at sun.net.www.protocol.https.Http

Has anyone come up with a CSS hack to “level” these 2 divs so that they are on the same line. This one has been driving me crazy for some time, not sure why they are not level out of the box.  

There seems to be a bug pertaining to the date of the last action field. For example, if I create an event monitor where I want to find all events where the “Follow-up Request” action was the last action taken, it works correctly. But, if I indicate that I’d like to find events where that action was taken, say, at least 5 days ago or more, the date filter doesn’t apply. In fact, it’ll still show events where the action was taken the same day that I am running the query. I’ve tried looking in the release notes but I can’t find any mention of this bug. My organization is running on assyst 11.2.3.

Hi, Simply wondering if there is a way to create a model event for events of the Service Request type? It seems to be possible for Changes, Incidents and Problems, but not Service Requests. Perhaps it is possible in the latest versions (my organization is running on assyst 11.2.3), but workarounds are appreciated as well. Thanks!

After typing a text into Serach field and click search, every time the same result : cannot find. seems to be a bug in serch engine related to Assyst NET

Hi all,We have a support ticket outstanding for something however, in the meantime - we would like to see if the community has experienced similar issues or have any workarounds.When we update organisational information on our contact user records (Section, Department, etc) we would expect that our item records also update to reflect the change. Unfortunately, this does not happen and reflects poorly in our reports.For example Screenshot #1 was correct at the time of asset allocation however, Rob has now had an org structure change as per Screenshot #2 which we would like to see on the item record.Screenshot #1:Screenshot #2:

First time logging a question here so go gently!I am creating some forms in the Customizer and would like some of the fields on each form to have the Formatted Text Editor toolbar but only one field (Description) on each form by default has this functionality and I cannot see how to create new fields that have this or amend the format of existing fields.These are required so that users can paste images into the fields.Anyone know a way around this? :)

We are finding that when creating Custom lookups and linking them to new Single Select fields, that a blank option appears in the lookup (that isn’t there in the Custom Lookup) But it only looks to be on some, and not others -   Is this something anyone else is experiencing? Are there any fixes?

How can we get details of Standard Fields of a Form from Database.Example: We need details of Expressions on Building Field of all Forms that we have.

We have a requirement to raise a Service Request from ETM. The form has a multi-select field. How can we add multiple values using ETM to this multi-select field? 

Would anyone have some time to go over with me their configuration/setup for service request bundles that aren’t related to procurement?  I’m trying to understand the best setup for bundles of things relative to application access etc vs an extensive workflow off of a single service request. Thanks!

Hi - we are starting to look at Power Automate, and what it could do when it comes to assyst.Is there anyone with experience using Power Automate and is able to share how they have used it to compliment/integrate with assyst, what they are using it for?

Is there a way to allow userID search in assystNET to avoid choosing the wrong user? Currently, when you fill out a form in assystNET, the Affected User is auto-populated to the reporting user.  When you change that, it is based off of name, not userID.  Is there a way to change that so when choosing an Affected User’s name, it also shows their UserID associated with that name?  When you click on the search magnifying glass, there are criteria options, but UserID is not one of them.  Is there a way to add UserID there as well?
