assyst General

We’re new to the use of the Service Catalogue so are still finding our feet with it all so apologies for the newbie question.When creating an offering you have to specify a default item and category value, even though the actual values can be part of a list.  We’re finding that, in a few instances, staff are just accepting the default values when filling in the form and not actively selecting the required value.Is there a way to have the offering form display a blank value in those fields so that it prompts (forces?) a value to be selected?Thanks

Hello,I’m working on process improvements and trying to understand more about how the workflows work and they functionalities. I’m not the assyst Admin, but work with them when request form changes.I have many general questions I’m sure a user guide would answer.Thanks in advance for any help.C.

Hello, I’ve just upgraded from assyst IPaaS 1.4 to 1.6 and after reading the current wiki, I’ve got the impression that I could use IPaaS to trigger some data maintenance. However, I could not understand how to do it by looking only at either https://wiki.axiossystems.com/assyst11-2Wiki/index.php/Integrations:assystETM_1.6_-_Channel_Configuration#Timer or https://wiki.axiossystems.com/assyst11-2Wiki/index.php/Integrations:assystETM_1.6_-_Data_Mapping My use case: Close some open events which may contain or not an attached process.1 - First problem: I could not understand how to query open RFCs. For example, I’ve tryed to define a single data mapper for Event resource type and tryed to search for status, but I’ve got the following error:  I’ve could not find any guidance on how to inform Java Enum values such as EventStatusTypeEnum. 2 - We have some RFC configured with attached process that contains a decision task asking for the RFC results. We’d like to automatically answer that decis

We have several questions regarding the Service Department SLA clock.  Here is the scenario… An event is assigned to SVD A with a defined SVD SLA (not an internal SLA) with the appropriate Priority.  The SVD works the event for 1 day (the SVD SLA resolution time is 5 days) but needs to assign it to SVD B.  SVD B possesses the ticket for 6 days and re-assigns the ticket to SVD A.  Is the resolution SLA for SVD A in breach?  Also, does the SLA clock for SVD A stop when it is assigned to SVD B?  If so, does the SLA clock for SVD A restart upon re-assignment from SVD B, or does the SLA clock “pick up where it left off?” Thanks!

Hi,We are looking to introduce a new offering on the Service Catalogue for our assystNet users to use for when they want to provide us with feedback on the portal. So, for example, if there was something that they felt needed changing/correcting on a specific offering, then they could let us know. But before I go down the route of creating a specific offering for this, I thought I would reach out to see if anyone else has a better idea? I’ve checked the wiki, and the only feedback option available seems to be in assystWeb. Ideally, there would be an out of the box solution for this?

Hi,Is there a way to print processes created in Process Designer v. 11.5?  The older versions allowed you to view the whole process including sub-processes and expand all stages and tasks. The new version doesn’t allow any of that nor can I print.   Does anyone know how to do that?  I tried to print but it doesn’t seem to work, the process barely shows in the orientation landscape either.  I had to scale it down to 70 to actually see it on the paper if printed. Thanks in advance

Hello,I created an html formatted email but when the email notification comes in via Outlook, all the html code shows and none of the formatting.  Any idea how to get it to come through.  We are using assyst 11.5.We currently use .txt files and I’m trying to get it to look nicer, insert links etc.Thanks

Hi all.  I  am new to assyst ETM and I want a simple channel / mapper to send an email to the specified address.  I cannot find any documentation or training material to explain this.Your assistance would be appreciated.Thanks!T

Has anybody out there built an assystETM channel which will process an email and log a new ticket using a specific Custom Form?If so I could do with some guidance as to how you reference the specific Custom Form you want to use.We will be looking at taking the data out of the body of the email to populate the custom fields within the custom form which I am comfortable with, I am just struggling with how to call that custom form.

Hi! While testing the anonymous affected user feature in assyst 11.2, I noticed some unwanted behaviors.  First off, from the assystNet side, when filling a user fills out a form and uses the anonymous user feature, the information entered in the anonymous fields is replaced by the logging user’s information when the form is submitted. This means that the anonymous user feature cannot really be used from assystNet, since the data captured is immediately replaced. The second behavior originates from assystWeb. We have been able to change the Affected User field so that it contains an anonymous user and save the ticket in that state. However, when performing a “Closed / Resolved” or “Pending Closure” action on the ticket, which can both result in the ticket being marked as closed, an error occurs which prevents us from executing the action. Here is a screenshot of what occurs:  It’s important to note that my team administrates the platform, but that we don’t have direct access to the con

Hi Everyone,Has anyone figured out how to automatically delete the browser cache after an upgrade? To delete the cache for only the assyst site specifically?We find it a huge pain to communicate to all our user community to delete their browser cache after an upgrade. It’s also a strain on our internal helpdesk.We would love to do this automatically for users at login using a script pushed to the users machines.Thanks.Martin ProvostInnovapost

I’m working on a Email Channel that has this “Record to Update - Formatted Reference Range” - currently I’m running Debugger with the lines commented out below. Now with the lines uncommented, I get the error - I don’t quite understand why I’m getting this error. Just in case this helps with the initEventListSrch… 

We have a lot of change forms which are using substitution keywords $LOGGED_ON_SVD and $LOGGED_ON_ASSYST_USER in custom fields. We did an update from 11.5.1 to 11.6 and I would have expected that the legacy keywords would be automatically replaced with the javabean-like notation, but it still shows the old notation in the forms. When trying to copy an existing form with legacy keywords in the Layout Designer it throws an error: The default value of this expression is invalid.Same error shows up when re-saving a custom field with such a default value expression. Seems like a bug or am I missing something? Best regards,Chris

I want to be able to hide this ITEM/ELEMENT “Item.product.shortCode = PIMS” in my look up via my look up filter expression box in my look up field on my form . Every expression I've tried had broken the look up search completely and wont return any results. All im trying to do is hide 1 item from my lookup without having to create a whole separate look up without that item in it. Can anyone please advise how this can be done ? I'm using assyst Version: assyst10 SP7.5Build:  12183 Date built: 04 August 2020 09:40:59assyst Version: assyst10 SP7.5Build:  12183 Date built: 04 August 2020 09:40:59 

Hi,I have created a Technical Issue in OSCA and I wanted to add a person to the watch list/ maybe the person can keep track of the process.Is there any way we could add a person to the watch list ?

I’ve been trying to work through some test cases for where Workmanager may be beneficial but am struggling to visualize/realize how best it could be utilized.  I’ve been reading through the wiki and understand the concepts but before presenting to any leadership and/or managers I’d like to present some examples to help tell the story of what it is capable of.Is anyone using Workmanager for things like Change, Request, Incident?Best practices you’ve found or suggestions you’d be willing to share?Thanks so much

Is there any way to un-tag an item as a known problem? It looks like it is a system field. 

Hello - we have had occurrences in our change request approval process, where email replies are not getting fully processed.In most cases, on decision tasks, when a user using the link to reply with their approval it works fine; however, we have had cases where it didn’t. What we see in those cases, is that the process works except the associated change workflow is never advanced/processed.Even when we look at email in our ETM channel, it shows successful. Also, in Assyst, the change event also has the email reply attachment and you see the reply in the action history as well.In ETM, we then reprocess the decision task reply and then the workflow is processed correctly.Have any other customers run into this type of situation and if so what if anything did you do to determine root cause? Thanks in advance.Scott.

Hi All, Has anyone identified a way of tracking/listing users who have set up their own custom homepage (not using the new functionality in 11.5+).  We are looking at rolling users onto a new default homepage but would like to identify users who have their own custom ones created, so they do not lose their own designed ones. Thanks in AdvanceKevin

We currently run IFS on Oracle using the ASFU license. We are putting in a very small Assyst installation with <400 users If I install on Oracle then the help system will fail if there is a problem with our production database, obviously not idealI considered sql server express but the documentation says it is “not recommended”.  I wondered if anyone knew if there was a specific technical issue or if it’s more of a sizing issue 

We are accessibility testing our portal following an upgrade to 11.6.0 and our testers have raised a question around aria labelling on elements within the update history (shown below). The labelling states that this is a clickable element, which is correct. However, actually clicking on it doesn't seem to do anything other that affect the CSS (border pictured above).My question:Does anyone have any functionality (that we may not use or have turned on) that results in any different behaviours? Contact User actions, pop-ups, etc?

Hi,In MSEdge, the file is downloaded but not opened automatically. Is there a way to configure MSEdge to auto open the file [clientJobRunner.assystApplication]? I looked at various MSEdge (not business install) settings and could not figure it out. I did see a possibility of configuring MSEdge Business Group Policy:    AutoOpenAllowedForURLs: URLs where AutoOpenFileTypes can apply    AutoOpenFileTypes: List of file types that should be automatically opened on downloadOr Windows Registry:    Windows registry:    HKEY_CURRENT_USER         Key path Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\AutoOpenFileTypes\         Value name 1         Value type REG_SZ         Value data "sapaox"     HKEY_CURRENT_USER         Key path Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\AutoOpenAllowedForURLs         Value name 1         Value type REG_SZ         Value data "https://web-address/" Jean

Is there a place to check the status on Problem tickets, specifically P16029 regarding the Assign to Me button being grayed out. I see that this problem does not appear as part of the 11.6 fix pack, so I assume this issue hasn’t been resolved yet. The issue still remains for workers in a service department that are only allowed a certain set of Action Types. If the service department is not “locked down” to certain actions, the Assign to Me button works without any issues.For example, if Action Types are specified for the Service Department, the Assign to Me button will be grayed out. If the Service Department doesn’t have any Action Types listed (has access to ALL actions) then the Assign To Me button works.

Afternoon all. It is early doors on this functionality, but does anyone now if there is a permission relating to the administration of keywords on Offerings in the Service Designer in v11.6? I am interested in whether we can enable our business users to manage their own search terms.Thanks

Has anyone tried filtering an item field on a custom form to include all items with a specific configuration characteristic? I’ve been working my way through it myself with the help of the Wiki and Javadocs but seem to be missing something.My use case is to apply a configChar of ‘’Single sign-on’ to all applications that are set up for it, to present our user base with an incident relating to troubles logging in, and limiting the item selection to only relevant applications.Thanks in advance.
