Hi,We have a business need where our IT users expect to have a manageable list of assignable Assyst users to search from, which conflicts with the need to have visibility into exactly who has updated an event in the self-service portal.Is it possible to prevent alias (also integration users?) from appearing in the Assyst user lookup in internal assign actions, without moving them to a separate service department that can't receive events?I'm having issues mapping out how to avoid this cluttering problem where the event form's assigned Assyst user dropdown and internal assign action lookup fill up with non-human and non-alias users (Contact User Alias users, integration users, etc.), while still allowing functionality like the major incident This affects me to work.My understanding is that the alias user must be in a service department capable of receiving events, but this also adds the current main alias user, and more importantly any potential personalized aliases, to the already long

I have an requirements to disable apply action on event based on custom field value .disable apply action : mean that the assign will be not able to apply any further action on the event till custom decision task's  answer recorded  take placeSO: Based on value of custom field more than value new decision task created and the assignee of parent cannot apply or update the event any more. 

I'm currently working with IFS assyst version 25R1 and encountering an issue with the Event Monitor on the assystWEB interface. When I configure and assign a query to the Event Monitor and display it on the home page, it appears correctly at first. However, if I navigate to another tab within the assystWEB interface and then return to the home page, the Event Monitor disappears.Has anyone else experienced this issue or found a workaround or solution? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

We would like the ability to hide the "Edit" button on actions in the new GUI for the Event Monitor.Currently, it is always visible, no matter what Privilege Groups the viewing Assyst User has. This makes it rather confusing if they do not have access to edit the action.Furthermore, when clicking the edit button, the GUI allows editing of the action, but shows a generic error message when attempting to save the edit.

Email content contained in $EVENT_DESC in html format has no formatting and is all jumbled together.  Wondering where I can find this variable and when I do, how do I format it to show that is readable.  html format looks like this:No description entered.

Hi everyone,I'm currently supporting a client in evaluating a migration of their notification system from rules implemented in the Action Processor to the Notifier.I'm encountering some issues when trying to define the rule for triggering a ticket creation notification. Specifically, I'm struggling to get the rule to work as expected.Has anyone here already worked with the Notifier for managing notifications?Here’s the rule I’m trying to use:$new.actionTypeCount = 1 AND $new.actionType.shortCode = "ASSIGN"Any insights or examples would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance!

Will the Event Monitor in the new GUI replace the old GUI, or will they always co-exist? We ask this as it currently seems impossible to import event queries made in the old GUI to the new GUI, bar manually copying every event query manually by each user. This is not an option for us as we have over a thousand assyst users, each with multiple queries of varying complexity.

I know that it is possible to set the number of rows returned when querying Assyst data with the REST API, but I don’t know nor can I find an example in documentation on how to limit number of rows returned to “x” number of rows.asking for ALL open service request events, is more than 500 rows.  I would like to limit the number of rows so my query does not error out and will run.any help is greatly appreciated and “Thanks” in advance

We are trying to attach files in assystNET and it will not attach.  In the system parameters I have it max file upload to 50MB and this file is 11KB.  I can upload it in assystWEB but not in assystNET.  Is there an area in system parameters that I can change the upload file size? I logged the test ticket and tried to attach it with assyst Update and it gave this error:  

Perhaps I’ve missed it in my wiki deep dives but is it possible to have users modify the building/location/room values on a form via the service catalog offering and leverage the event builder to route it to the appropriate responsible svd, etc?Issue is users may be requesting maintenance for a specific area of a facility, example being Main Hospital, Plaza 1. If it is only able to go by that users default associated details it doesn’t allow for the correct routing if they’re requesting maintenance for something elsewhere.So far I cannot get these values visible for manipulation via customizer for the fields in question.Has anyone leveraged this before?  I know with a CMDB and item/category/location correlation you can do this but until we’ve gotten to that point I’m looking for a basic form to have users choose from locations within their facility.-Mitch

Hi,  Just a question regarding the Discussions menu on the Self Service portal. Can you limit who can create new discussions, I have had a look on the wiki and cant find anything to suggest you can on the Self Service Portal. Happy to log this as an enhancement suggestion if it is not already a feature.Thanks

Is there any functionality to add keywords in bulk for Knowledge Procedures and Service Offerings. Currently adding keywords is very tedious as you can only add them one at a time with multiple clicks. Please let me know if this is already available in ETM or some other way, if not I will submit it as an Idea.

Currently, in the Event Monitor in the new GUI, when opening an action, the Description-field is not selected. Instead, the first field available is selected.For our Assyst Users, this means that they have to manually select the Description-field every single time they want to do an action from the Event Monitor in the new GUI.However, in the current Event Monitor, in the old UI, it autoselects the Description-field.Removing this in the new GUI decreases efficiency and adds worktime for all of our Assyst Users.

Hey All,We do a good job having our software as items in our CMDB. We also have our printers and computers in as assyst CMDB also. On the hardware printer items in CMDB were store the print queues for printers in config characteristics. The problem is you cannot search for the serial no in the characteristic. We are going to be moving our printer queues as separate items with relations to the hardware. That’s easy. We want to also relate the print queue to the software it is used by.Question. What do people do when relating it to the software?The two scenarios we came up with were:relating all print queues directly to the Software item. creating another item called “<Software Name> Print Service”, adding relation for this item to the software, and relating all print queues to the “<Software Name> Print Services” item.Technically the majority of these software are running a service for printing but its creating new items to track “services” or “sub programs” to the main soft

Wanted to reach out and see if anyone that has taken the update recently is using the notifier build out for some or all of their email templates in lieu of or in tandem with smartmail?I’m interested in the potential for this and bringing more into the UI and managing there vs an integration server etc.One thing I had a question on was satisfaction overall with it, where you’ve seen any improvement or issues. Also, if you utilized action templates preivously how you were able to incorporate those with the new functionality? Even if not using in production anyone who has gone through the work of building out in dev/test as I am in the beginning stages myself.Thanks!

Hi all,Has anyone found a way to prevent users taking action on closed events?I suspect this will require a new function on the Integration Server but before we go down that path I’d like to confirm there is no native way to configure this.I’ve searched through the available event privileges and reviewed action configuration but can’t see a way to complete the required configuration.We’re on assyst 11.7.4.

Good afternoon,Does anyone, please, have a more up-to-date roadmap for IFS assyst and ITOM than the one available at the following link:https://community.ifs.com/product-strategy-and-roadmap-124/master-article-what-is-the-update-release-schedule-and-release-details-9818?tid=9818&fid=124#IFS+assyst%C2%A0I searched the community but could not find any.

Hello,I’m evaluating a request from our users to have parts of an event form in the Self-Service Portal auto-populated based on a QR code or similar technology, and I need some help to determine if it’s currently possible.The users want quick access to log requests for certain equipment, such as printers, hospital equipment ect. We aim to support this, and were thinking of using QR codes for the equipment, allowing for easier event logging.My immediate idea is to use Deep Linking (Assyst Wiki) and prepare QR codes for use in labeling the equipment. These QR codes would point to a specific service or service offering, along with the specific item ID for the labeled equipment.However, the wiki only mentions deep linking prepopulated forms in the Assyst Portal, not the Self-Service Portal. (The list of examples of values that can be prepopulated in the Assyst Portal is rather limited and does not seem applicable to assystNet)I’ve had no success with attempts at using URL parameters to pas

Hi Everyone,I’m trying to create tasks for each selection in a custom multi-select lookup field. We are running assyst version 11.6.3.In the process designer I have been able to create a Dynamic Task Expression for a single-select lookup, but I am unsure of how to get this working for values selected in a multi-select lookup.Here’s what I used as a dynamic task expression for a single-select lookup for a custom field called “ADHOC SINGLE”:  $new.W("ADHOC SINGLE").shortCode.   I have another field called “ADHOC MULTIPLE” where I can select multiple values.Any ideas?  Or is this maybe not possible in our version of assyst?Thanks!Jaco
