Hi, is it possible to display a read-only field in the Item Form which shows the information that is stored in supplier master data (e.g. Remarks field)? 

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!

When creating a new Service Offering in Service Manager, I sometimes have to create a new image to be used for that service offering. To be able to use this new image in Service Manager, I have to go into AssystWeb > Administration > Images and then upload the image.Would it be possible to have that same option in Service Manager as well, so that when I go to add the image, I can just upload it from there? Something as simple as adding the same upload functionality found in AssystWeb.  

Hello,I have a question regarding how Info Zone retrieves its values from Events, and whether it’s possible to maintain the default behavior while also adding extra fields as requested by our IT users.Defining custom fields works somewhat as expected; however, the behaviour of using system defaults and custom ones are not the same, and I’m having troubles sorting out how to avoid experience reduced functionality compared to the default setup.In my attempts to add custom values to the system parameter that controls this, I’ve ended up losing functionality that our IT users expect and rely on for a smooth workflow. For example, Info Zone normally populates the extension field using values from the Event form, and only falls back to the Contact User form if no values are provided

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 p

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.

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.
