Hi all, I am using a ‘throw new Error’ piece of code in my ETM datamapper to force a failure when there is no record match when processing an excel file.  This allows me to append a custom message to the end of the error log dump in the email instead of using the ‘No match - Error’ on the Record to Update which just shows a generic message with no detail.  It does what I want it to do but in the email message generated it is prefixed with the usual dump.Two questions … Is there a way to just show my custom message?  Or a completely different way to accomplish this. Is there a way to throw an info or warning message which will not stop processing so I can provide some additional information in the email as well.Thanks!T

Hi,My organisation is looking to implement some features using the Contact User form’s User Flags. I am aware that we can modify those according to our needs. However, we have a very specific scenario where we would like to be able to create event queries based on the value of those flags. I haven’t seen those fields in the query form. Is there a way to create event queries using the User Flag values? My organisation is using assyst 11.2.3.Thanks!

Hi All, We are trying to automate the automatic logging of received incident by mail in Assyst, was wondering if anyone has done this or have some useful input to getting this done. We are trying to eradicate manual intervention for quicker response time Currently running on Assyst 11.6.0 version Any useful tips would be appreciated Thank you  

Hello, I’m working on styling of AssystNet Mobile Interface and I’m encountering the below issue. I would really appreciate a solution for this. Under Favorites, the two Service Offerings - ‘Computer Services and Request’ and ‘On/Off Boarding Requests’ are not visible in assytNet mobile app.    Please, help solve the problem.Thank you in advance. 

We are looking at how we can promote the ‘Services’ screen filter on assystNet. Our user research indicates that the majority of our users do not know it is there.Services filter link and sub-section My question is two fold….Does anyone know if there is the ability to set this as expanded by default? (This was our first thought) How have you all promoted this feature to your end users?<!-- Minimised --><div class="catalogue-filter-panel axiosHidden" id="uniqName_3_230" widgetid="uniqName_3_230" aria-hidden="true"> <!-- .... --></div><!-- Expanded --><div class="catalogue-filter-panel" id="uniqName_3_230" widgetid="uniqName_3_230" aria-hidden="true"> <!-- .... --></div> 

Hi  I have a question can we have visibility to SYSTEM  in incident/Service request form https://wiki.axiossystems.com/assyst11-6Wiki/index.php/System_Theory

I’m trying to use SmartMail to send all files in a folder but can’t seem to get it to work using this line of code.                -- include_files = [[{                    -- app = AXIOS_BASE .. "\\Data\\Attachments\\",                -- }]],I can’t figure out what the wild card is to include all files in the folder.  If I explicitly state the file name the email with the attachment sends, but if I leave it blank or try any variation of wildcards, I just get an error Invalid email 'include_files' entry: no file exists with title.  The email still sends but no attachments.  The files can be in any format, .pdf, .xlsx, .csv, etc…Any help would be really appreciated.Thanks!

Hello, we upgraded our assyst database from 11.3.11 to 11.6.3 (with intermediate jump to 11.5.2).After upgrading the app server (with the same installer version) we got a start error when deploying the assystEAR.ear: SCHEMA VERSION MISMATCHComplete error:"{    \"WFLYCTL0080: Failed services\" => {\"jboss.deployment.subunit.\\\"assystEAR.ear\\\".\\\"assystEJB.jar\\\".component.SystemParameterServiceBean.START\" => \"java.lang.IllegalStateException: WFLYEE0042: Failed to construct component instance    Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: WFLYEE0042: Failed to construct component instance    Caused by: javax.ejb.EJBException: java.lang.RuntimeException: com.axiossystems.assyst.exceptions.SchemaVersionException: SCHEMA VERSION MISMATCH    Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: com.axiossystems.assyst.exceptions.SchemaVersionException: SCHEMA VERSION MISMATCH    Caused by: com.axiossystems.assyst.exceptions.SchemaVersionException: SCHEMA VERSION MISMATCH\"},    \"WFLYCTL0412:

We have had multiple users (including myself) receive the attached system error message. This issue is very sporadic and does not occur all the time. In addition, it’s not repeatable, so whatever activity the user was doing when the error happened, if they go back in and do it again it always works fine. I’m only aware of this occurring on Assyst Web not our self-service portal. We have not been able to find and pattern or reason for this random system error.Has anyone else encountered this and if so, did you find any root cause and were you able to prevent the issue from occurring?

Hi All,We’re considering moving forward with implementing a CMDB and prior to presenting to our leadership for approval of a SOW etc was wondering if anyone would be willing to host a brief demo of their CMDB instance?We are a healthcare organization with both owned and managed facilities and are working out the discovery side of things given all of the tools and applications we are utilizing in our environment currently.Even if it was a brief video vs a full on demo I think anything would be helpful to show or have on hand for reference if at all possible.Let me know if this works and

We have requirement to remove a particular secondary SVD from multiple Assyst Users.We created an ETM Mapper with Resource as “Secondary SVD” and Record to update as SVD and Assyst User Shortcode. But it is not picking up any record.

Hi, My colleagues and I noticed some time ago that some system forms, such as the Building form, cannot be edited (at least from the customizer). Is there a workaround to this, or a way to modify it? Similarly, is there a way to create custom lookups on tables that aren’t the Item, Cost Center, or Contact User tables? We haven’t found a way to do this yet, but it would prove very useful. Our environment uses assyst 11.2.3. Thanks!

Hi everyone! Maybe you can help a newbie:When we read mails from a mailbox via ETM to create a ticket from them, the ticket is properly created in Assyst. But the original mail is not deleted in the mailbox. As a result, the same process is created over and over again. Where can I set in the ETM channel that the mail is deleted after successful import? Thank you very much!Torsten

Hello  I would like to know if there is anyway I can print out a “String” based on the parent task field value $CURRENT_VALUE + “Reporter Name” + $new.affectedUser.name +"<br>" + "Technology = "+ $new.parentEvent.W("TECHNOLGY").name +"<br>"+ "Start Date = "+ $new.parentEvent.W("ACCESS_START_DATE") +"<br>"+"TEMPORARILY_ACCESS"+" == "+ $new.parentEvent.W("TEMPORARILY_ACCESS") So basically what I’m trying to do rather than the users in each task have to access the main record I want to output the fileds directly from the parent ticket into the tasks, which I have done successfully,   my problem is the field “Technology” is a visibility filter based on value for multiple WebCustomGroupswhich are not in common  so I would like to show a different text output for each value of “Technology”right now most fields on the form shows as NO VALUE and I want to hide that to only show the detail for the chosen webCustomGroup

We are using SLA -measurement a lot. After the update (from 11.3.11) to 11.6.3 my testing shows me, that the system doesn’t care of the response-targets..

Hello  Are there a method to resolve and close all active SR,CR,Incidents. that are attached with a workflow without closing each task manually?, So I have found dozen of unresolved incidents, Service Requests, and incidents, which was resolved but the tasks were not updated (resolved/closed) I couldn’t do a bulk change on them given the fact that all of them have multiple unresolved tasks  Currently the only way to close the requests with one click is through state actions >> Withdraw  but unfortunately that doesn’t meet our requirements to complete the workflow as it withdraw the process and closes the record as withdrawn, is there anything similar that automate the process and resolve all the tasks it would even be better if it continue the workflow.   alternatively is it possible to create any type of automation on Assyst that does this? any ideas would be appreciated. Action Processor/ AssystETM, I am aiming to make it available for end-users   

We have run into situations where an end user is trying to add another end user as their Delegate using the self-service portal but the persons name never shows up to select when searching. I verified the contact user and assyst alias user records are created correctly and also verified that they have event Privilege = Delegation as part of the privilege group on the user alias record.We have other people that are able to add delegates without issues, but in some cases valid user names are not selectable for some reason.Has anyone run into this before and is so what was the root cause?

Hi all,I’m pretty sure this is a No, but I will ask anyway ...Is there any way for ETM to ignore rows above the header row in the import file when processing?  So my file looks like … I am guessing it will have to be manually cleaned before importing into ETM but I was hoping there might be a workaround.Thanks!Trevor

Hi everyone, I need to update a record in ETM based on a custom form field.  In the below example the custom field is called ASSET-TAG.  It first searches for a Serial Number and if not found I want to search by the custom ASSET-TAG field.  Is this possible?  Thanks.T 

We currently have a situation where our test service catalog is missing on our test end user/self-service portal, while in production it is fine. When we log into the test self-service portal, the entire “Services” Menu option is missing/hidden, while in Production it’s shown.I even tried with my Assyst Admin account and still don’t see services in test.However, if I use my ZZGLOBAL account I see services and the catalog.The service catalog is available fine in Assyst.Web test and production.We're not aware of any changes we made that would cause this. Also, can’t explain why ZZGLOBAL can see Services but no other user, even an administrator can. We only use ZZGLOBAL occasionally and then only for setting up event monitors or query profiles we want to share globally.Has anyone encountered something like this before?Does anyone have an idea what about ZZGLOBAL would be different?  

Please correct me if this expression is wrong ! if ($new.affectedUser.manager.manager.assystUserAlias.shortCode = $NO_VALUE, $CURRENT_VALUE, $new.affectedUser.manager.assystUserAlias.shortCode) This expression is to take approval from Manager of Manager (VP). Thanks
