assyst General

Hi,How to make the comment on RFC Stage visible as we need to make the internal comments on workflow visible to Assyst user 

I have a Service Request for Personnel Changes.  there is a drop down question which asks them if they are ADDING, REMOVING, or CHANGING.  the workflow and tasks are completely different based on this  ONE question.  There isn’t an Approval I just need to follow 3 paths and have multiple parallel tasks based on the path.  Removal of a spouse has multiple places that need to be updated and it has to go to different service departments concurrently to do the updates.  If there is a name change again totally different task and different service departments.  How to I make this happen?  Any direction or hints would be greatly appreciated!here’s a sample picture for those that are visual:Sample of how i want the process to flow. 

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:  

We wondered if anyone else in the community was planning on upgrading when 11.6.x is released? We’d love to get more of an idea of what other institutions are doing - do you like to keep up to the minute or take a more slow gradual approach?

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:Thanks in advance.

We have a “Service Department” FX that I am wondering if someone may be able to assist with.  We have a service offering that we have set up to be used as a stand-alone offering or as part of a few of our Bundle offerings. We are looking to have it assign to a desktop team based on region if used as part of any of the bundles, and to the Service Desk when it is not being used as of a bundle/ as a stand-alone or being used as part of a bundle when the region field is blank/null.   Notes:The Region field is on the Parent Bundle Form and can sometimes not be required (empty). Current Expression:if($new.parentEvent.bundleEvent.serviceOffering.shortCode = "ONBOARDING",            if($new.parentEvent.W("DESKTOP REGION").name = "US & Canada", "DESKTOP SUPPORT US & CANADA",            if($new.parentEvent.W("DESKTOP REGION").name = "EMEA", "DESKTOP SUPPORT EMEA",            if($new.parentEvent.W("DESKTOP REGION").name = "LATAM", "DESKTOP SUPPORT LATAM",            if($new.parentEvent.W(

Is there a way to have the “Action History” and “Links” panels on an assyst ticket expanded by default?  Thanks! 

How do you handle responses to/from users on Tasks? We don’t have the Advanced Event Monitoring license for our users, but we have many processes that involve sub tasks, such as a user termination workflow. When our workers process those tasks, they may try sending a message to the affected user for more info, etc. Of course, the affected user cannot respond to the ticket via AssystNet. How does your team handle this for those that do not have Advanced Event Monitoring enabled?

Hello.We have installed assyst 11.8.2 in a non-production environment for testing, and are having an issue with the assystNET page not loading. We have two sets of web servers which authenticate differently, and all applications (assystnet, assystnetmob) on both sectors is having the issue. assystWeb login works fine. When a client attempts to access assystNET, the following error occurs in the server.log: 2024-08-21 09:11:17,455 ERROR [com.axiossystems.assyst.dao.security.CSGFilter] (default task-2) CheckDtos : unable to set property => csg Here is a screenshot of the error: We have tried numerous different authentication methods (LDAP, Azure SAML), and the same issue occurs.I have opened an incident with assyst support, but they have yet to be able to prvovide any advise. Has anyone else seen this with 11.8.2? Thanks, Duncan 

Why version 11.6.2 is no longer available for download?

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

Where will the release notes be available as it was noted the previous wiki for IFS Assyst will no longer be hosting them?

Hello,I’m trying to find out how to see if a parent log has any open tasks.When our action processor server freezes and needs to be restarted there are sometimes logs left behind that did not close properly. I’m trying to find a way to identify these logs so we can close them. I thought if there was a column I could use, I tried Next Action, but if the task was re-opened it would still appear as the process was completed and I don’t want to close those.

Where would I find schema changes for 11.5? It would appear that tables have been deleted in the wiki.  

Hi All,I’m looking for ideas for including Approver details in the global user's Event Monitor on the Self-Service Portal (under Progress > My Open Issues and Requests).The issue I have is the Column Profile for the Event Monitor is looking at details on the Request ticket and not the underlying Tasks. If I include Approver as an additional column on the global user’s Column Profile, it appears blank as the Approver is listed on the Task and not the Request. This means end-users are unable to identify who to contact for a pending approval and need to contact our Service Desk to provide the information.Any advice on if or how other customers are managing similar requirements would be much appreciated.Best regards,David.

Looking for assistance with an assyst task - assyst user expression.We have a custom field doing an assyst user single select lookup. The expression I would need is to call the selected assyst users contact user manager as the assyst user for the task to go to. Example: custom field lookup; assyst userdecision task goes to assyst user of the manager value of the selected assyst users contact user valueMitch OC contact user manager definition of Jason BCustom Lookup: assyst user selected is Mitch OC; decision task assyst user expression to be Jason BI cannot find a way to make this work on current available expression examples in wiki or otherwise

Looking to utilize a custom field answer to drive the assignment of a decision task to an SVD not an individual.Does anyone have an example of this scenario they have been successful with?Understand the decision task part of this may be an issue btu thought i’d reach out here while support continues to review.Thanks!if custom field answer a then assign to svd a, if answer b then assign to svd b, etc

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 are using 7 Windows Servers with assyst Server installed behind an F5 load balancer for a maximum of 200 concurrend assystWEB and 30 concurrent assystNET users.We also have another server running assystServer, IPaaS and Search Server. This one is not used by normal users.Since upgrading to Assyst 11.6.1 last Friday we’ve been experiencing some “java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded” on the 7 servers behind the load balancer which leads to the JVM restarting and all sessions on that server being killed.This doesn’t happen on all the servers and is irregular.We had all the JVMs for assyst Server configured to 6GB of memory as recommended by IFS on the Wiki. We decided to up the limit to 8GB which seems to be working for now but our JVM monitoring shows spikes to nearly 8GB which if reached would probably make it restart again. According to the wiki page from before we should need 50MB per user but we have way higher memory usage.Has anyone be experiencing similar incr

I have a question regarding the use of the Event Monitor in assyst 11.8.3 or later.Is there a way to capture the Selected Answer on a ticket that has one or more approvals?In other words, if a ticket goes through multiple approval steps, how can I identify which answer was chosen via the Event Monitor?

When a decision task is taken and Denied this is successfully triggering an email to the affected user based on the Denied sub process and associated Task.  Approved decisions are not triggering an email, Approvals don’t generate a sub process they just simple move the process onto the next task. Each task is different depending on the process so I cannot effectively hang an approval email from those. Is there some way to trigger an email based on the ‘Answer’ to a decision?

Hi everyone,Is it possible in the Item form to compute a field directly while saving the Item, or alternatively via a trigger to the Action Processor?Here’s the scenario:We have two fields:Item End Date Item Notification DaysWe’d like to automatically calculate and keep updated a third field:Item Notification Date = Item End Date - Item Notification DaysThe Item Notification Date should be a read-only field, managed entirely by the system.Has anyone implemented something similar or found a reliable approach to achieve this?Thanks in advance!

Hi,I’ve implemented a service offering with a simple form (without a process), while trying to submit the form on assystNET I receive the following generic error:  The strange thing is that from assystWEB I can open the request without any error.I’ve already checked the permissions for the alias, eventual filters inside the form, the import profile, the CSG but everything seems fine. Do you have any clue about this? 

Would any IFS assyst customers be willing to share information or examples of their Category for Cause and Event and Generic/Product Class/Product/Item structures with us?We are in a period post SaaS migration of re-evaluating our structures and uses of the tool to better align with best practices with increasing efficiency in mind. Our reporting and SLAs are lacking as a result of how we initially structured many of the system fields in our instance and would like a reference point for how others are utilzing this currently.  After pouring over the wiki i have a good idea of what we should be moving towards but always helps to share with our staff and leadership other real world examples where possible. Anyone interested please let me know and I’d love to work with our CSM to get in touch and set up the call or working session!
