Hi,we need to see the icons of the priority of events. We managed to upload them and see them in the priority-formular, but we don’t see them in the search- or workbench websites.What is missing?We are running on 11.3. but will change to 11.5, soon. I followed  11.5. documentation is the same as the old version: https://wiki.axiossystems.com/assyst11-5Wiki/index.php/Specifying_Event_Search_Icons_for_Impact,_Urgency_and_Priorityand checked the parameter “Image Upload Allowed File Extensions”and did a new log-in.There is no picture/icon in the search-column: ‘priority icon’.Please helpRegardsMarion 

Hi There   Can we use the visibility expressions to refer to system fields?

I’ve created two custom fields in assyst, one allows you to select a Branch, and the other should provide a selection list of the Section Departments in that Branch. The Branch system lookup field has a shortcode of ORG BRANCH Here’s my Lookup Filter Expression:from sectn_dept as SectnDept where SectnDept.section.branch.shortCode = @*@$new.W("ORG BRANCH").shortCode@*@ and SectnDept.csg.shortCode = 'SHARED' This works in assystNET (Self-Service Portal). If I attempt to alter the value via assystWEB, I get an application error.  So, I’m guessing my filter expression is incorrect. Has anyone any advice? Thanks

Hi  I need your support to explain how to import “Manager” value from the Active directory to Assyst User as on the current configuration we have it is only importing (Tittle,Section) and we need to add “manager”  to build approval workflow

We have a non-service catalogue form that we are using to direct staff to the Service Catalogue when needed.  However, staff are not able to resist temptation to click the Submit button and so raise an unnecessary call  :-))I’m sure I remember being told how to disable the button and have a form purely as an informational one but, for the life of me, I can’t remember what is needed.  Is there a way to do this, please?Thanks

Hi Everyone  I’m training to add a validation expression on the customizer for Date, and I see the validation only applied on single_Line_String, is there any way to add it ?? the scenario is I have 2 custom fields one for “start date” and another for “end date” and System shouldn't accept end date before start date  Thanks on Advance  

Hello, everyone i would like to make the assyst log an event directly and assign it to a deapartment automatically.For example, we can make an email and everytime a employee sends to that email, an event will be created and assigned to a department.I dont know know whether assyst is capable of it or not?

Is there another action that we can use for Knowledge besides Knowledge Solve? We have scenarios where we want to apply 2-4 Knowledge Procedures to a ticket as ‘Knowledge Used’ or ‘Knowledge Applied’ when we are troubleshooting with a customer.

Good day, Is it possible to do an Item Search on a custom field in assyst, using the Item Monitor, to find Items that do not have a date specified? A search with a blank date returns an error, which leads me to wonder if this search should normally work. assyst Version: assyst 11.4.1 Build: 12405 Date built: 07 February 2022 06:15:33   Thanks,…Donovan

Is there a way to see what keywords end users are entering in the search bar when they are in AssystNET?   

Hello all.We have encountered an issue where a lookup filter expression on one of our custom forms is failing after adding some additional custom fields to the form. We know that the expression is valid as it is in use on numerous other forms, and was working up until we added the additional fields.In assystNet, when clicking on the magnifying glass to bring up the contact user search, there is an error that the lookup failed.  The expression is:select usr.id from usr as usr where usr.csg.shortCode = 'HEALTH' and usr.usr_flag1 = 'APPROVER' According to IFS, there is no limit to the number of custom fields that can be on a form, however this issue occurrs after increasing the number of fields from 236 (expression works) to 239 (expression fails). If we remove the filter expression from the field, the lookup works. We have raised this issue with IFS but they have not been able to provide any guidance. Has anyone else seen this or a similar issue, and if so, what was the resolution? Thank

Can anyone tell me what is causing a visibility expression to be invalid when comparing two different custom fields on an Assyst form? I have a form that has a leaver contact User and I want to compare it’s selected value against the line manager contact user field.  Based on the wiki, I reference fields by prefixing with $W(“<short code>”) and that works fine if I compare one of the fields against a hard coded value but if I try to compare one custom field against another then it complains that the expression is not valid.   Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?    

We currently have users who want to be informed on changes against CI’s and want to receive a notification as an FYI that a Change Request was submitted against that CI. Is there any way to have a user subscribe to a CI within the CMDB, which would send them a notification when a change request is submitted against that CI?  

Assyst version 10, sp 7.5Hi, Can anyone advise how to limit an action such as “Major incident” to just one group/service department to see and select for them, whilst making the action hidden to every other group/SD? Many Thanks. 

Does anybody have a method for telling if an authorization task was flagged as not authorized so that we can generate the following tasks dynamically? Currently, we use a decision task following the authorization that uses the function below (called in AP) to evaluate the answer and take a decision. However, this doesn’t work in workflows that have multiple authorizations occurring at the same time since it evaluates whether any “Not Authorized” was taken.function evalAuthTasks(parmEventId)    --LOGGER:info("First line in evalAuthTasks")    local sSql = [[SELECT COUNT(id.u_num2) NOTAUTH_COUNT        FROM act_reg ar        INNER join act_type at on at.act_type_id = ar.act_type_id        INNER join inc_data id on id.incident_id = ar.incident_id        INNER join incident i on i.incident_id = ar.incident_id        INNER join incident i2 on i2.incident_id = id.u_num2        WHERE id.u_num2 = (select u_num2 from inc_data WHERE incident_id = ]] .. parmEventId ..         [[)    and at.act_typ

Just a small customisation question - I am running multi-instances of ASSYST (10.7.5) and need to make a clear distinction between PROD and NON PROD environments. I’m hoping someone can point me in the direction for customising the separate landing pages accordingly - including the logo -?

Enhance the Change Calendar to look like an Outlook calendar with the ability to color code types of changes and populate the calendar information with the change request information or a link to the change request within the calendar entry. Currently, the change calendar layout is hard to read and takes a long time to load in production. 

Hello, Recently we’ve updated a custom form to include a new field which was made required in a form  referenced by some of our service requests.However, some of our contact users started complaining that they could not log an event anymore, because it was just shown “An error ocurred.”Almost every time we checked, it was a cache problem, but for two of those users, who use Firefox, even after clearing all the browser data, the new mandatory field never appeared.We ended up reverting the mandatory substituion of that field in Customizer, but I was wondering: given the nature of this issue, which mostly is dependend on end-user browser configuration, do you have any tips or advice on how to smoothly introduce this kind of changes? I was wondering if configuring JBoss cache control to avoid cache would be a good idea, but not sure it would work and even how to test it.Regards,Otmar 

Hello All, I was wondering whether anybody had been able to build an Action Processor rule based upon a specific answer from a Custom Lookup?If not does anybody have an alternative solution they have built?

I created some custom item forms in v11.4.3, applied the necessary visibility requirements, and associated the form with the required Product Class value.  However, since I upgraded our test environment to v11.5.1 the majority of the fields in the custom forms don’t show, even though they are not hidden or discontinued.  If I remove the custom form association then the default Item form details are all shown.  I also tried creating a new custom form (from the default) and, without making any changes for visibility etc, all fields are still not shown.Is there anything I need to change/reset/correct for custom forms at v11.5?

I’m wondering if anyone has had any success using an If statement in the Lookup Filter Expression. I’d like to have a dynamic Item B field based on a value of a custom field. This is where I’ve got to so far: IF($new.W("SSL-CORP-DEVICE").shortCode = "LAPTOPS",select item.id from item as item where item.id in (select item.id from item as item inner join item.itemUsers as itemUsers where itemUsers.user.shortCode = @*@$new.affectedUser.shortCode@*@) and item.id in (select Item.id from item as Item where Item.product.productClass.shortCode = @*@$new.W("SSL-CORP-DEVICE").shortCode@*@ and Item.itemStatus.shortCode !='DISPOSED',select Item.id from item as Item where Item.product.productClass.shortCode = @*@$new.W("SSL-CORP-DEVICE").shortCode@*@ and Item.itemStatus.shortCode !='DISPOSED'))My aim is to have a custom field with the shortcode of SSL-CORP-DEVICE be a custom lookup of Laptops, Desktops and Kiosk. If Laptops is chosen, to provide a list of the items in the CMDB which are linked to t

Hi all, we have a challenging problem, for creating a custom report we are trying to write a sql query that retrieves events with their custom values.We don't have a problem with custom string values or single select lookup.The problem is with multi select custom field values, that we want to retrieve as comma separated values (i.e val1, val2 etc)We were wondering if someone has some piece of code as an example that you can share with us thanks!
