assyst General

 I’m rather new to the use of assystREST API, and I do apologize if this is blindingly obvious. I’ve tried using the Assyst wiki assystREST_More_Examples article as a guide, but I’ve come up short. Is it possible to get all attachments from an event using a single rest query?When using the query below the “Event attachments” are returned, however none of the “Action Attachments” are part of this response. GET http://:/assystREST/v2/events/[eventId]/attachments  I have attempted using the actions endpoint, however that does not return any of the “Event Attachments”, and this returns all the actions, not just the attachments. GET http://:/assystREST/v2/actions?eventId=[eventId]&fields=attachments  I’ve so far thus been unable to get a single request response, and i’m unsure as how to structure more advanced queries. In the same line of inquiry, I’ve been trying to lookup get all open events that are within a certain siteArea. This is trivial using the assyst GUI, however using REST I

Good morning,I spoke with IFS this morning and they confirmed that their customers who use Kerberos to authenticate AD users to assyst are reporting that users can no longer access the application after some Windows Server 2019 updates were applied.Has anyone here who uses Kerberos to authenticate users to assyst (pass-through authentication) experienced problems after Win Server 2019 updates being applied to the server?We will be attempting to rollback the updates.  I have also checked the krb5.conf and it appears to be correct.  I removed older encryption types.As a workaround, I have set up an alternate assyst app server that is using Database authentication to allow users to continue to use the application.Anyone else having this problem?  We are on assyst 10 SP7.5 but IFS has told me that it affects all versions.

Hello,I am setting up a workflow process in which I am sending authorization and decision tasks for end users on the assyst NET side. End users can create a request and if this request requires authorization/decision it is automatically generate and send to them. Authorization is usually done by a different person then the original end user requestor. Question: Can original end user requestor see/view who is the authorizer/decision maker? How to populate this information to the request?

Hello,I need to assign multiple Contact Users (for example, 10 users) to the same Item.I have checked assystETM, but I could not find a direct or standard way to bulk-assign users to an Item through ETM.Is there a supported approach in assystETM to handle this use case, or is it recommended to use another method (API, import, or integration) for assigning multiple users to an Item?Thanks in advance.  

On AssystME 11.8.1 (On Prem) - we are getting this error for a certain privilege group that my user belongs to.  I’m sure this is something within the Privilege group, but unsure of what is needed. 

We have requirement to fetch all Open Events for a particular Assigned User.We have created an ETM channel but it is always giving empty list.

We have been trying to use the substitution keywords to get a mailto link to send to customers through an action template that sends an email to our mailboxreader/etm This is mostly working, we can get the  event reference in the subject line,  but cannot get the substitution keywords to populate the body of the mailto. we have tried a few things and its so close but just doesnt put the subject/body in the right place, seems to not be picking up the ? correctly if we do  this it works great, without a body of the email<vtl>#set($eventLink = "mailto:XXX@test.com?subject=Approved Ref:")</vtl><a href="$eventLink$new.event.formattedReference">approve</a> to try to get the body in we tried<vtl>#set($eventLink = "mailto:XXX@test.com?subject=Approved Ref:")</vtl><vtl>#set($eventLink2 = "?body= Approved%0A%0DAdd%20Additional%20comments%20below%20if%20required")</vtl><a href="$eventLink$new.event.formattedReference$eventLink2">approve</a&

Hi All,  We are trying to create an event search that will indicate tickets which are currently on hold. Has anyone had any luck creating an event search that can show tickets currently on hold?   

Hello,Within assystNET, you can place Event Monitors on the homepage.Some columns within the Event Monitor may not be easy to understand for some people who use the portal (such as SVD Assigned Name) so it has been requested that these be changed to more easily understandable headers where appropriate.So with that goal in mind, does anyone know how to alter the headers of individual columns within assystNET Event Monitors with CSS only?The reason I state ‘CSS only’ as I believe these are the lititations of what can be done via Styling in assyst.Note: I’ve tried inspecting the element in three different browsers which all gave varying outputs.  The one below looked to be the most likely to work but it unfortunately did not (.dgrid-column-6 being SVD Assigned Name):}#dgrid_0 .dgrid-column-6 {  column-header: "Assigned Team";  header: "Assigned Team";}Many thanks in advance

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. 

It would be great to allow for sub-labels on forms. Instead of having this text pop up when the user clicks in the field, allow for a sub-label under the field name.Current option Sub Label option  

We currently use our test environment for training our new service desk staff on IFS assyst, however, we currently do not update any knowledge procedures in test so when they are doing the testing with the new analysts the new analysts are seeing outdated information. It seems like a lot of resource time to update KP’s in test and then production to ensure the environments are in alignment so they can be utilized for training new hires. Have you ran into this before? What do other clients do in this scenario? What do you do internally for IFS to maintain the test environment? We are making changes non-stop the KP’s (we have two full time resources who focus on knowledge management) so to maintain KP’s in both environments would be impossible.

At Norfolk probably like many of you we use tasks on Service Requests for internal workings to fulfil the SR.  Whilst our staff have been communicated to the importance of using the Service Request ‘S’ for any communications with the Affected User there are times when they forget and will take the Waiting Customer Input action (which triggers an email to the Affected User with the task ref).  So ideally we would like the ability to only show the Waiting Customer Input Action on Service Requests and not tasks (not sure this is possible though).  We could obviously stop the email but its a bit of a catch 22 as at least the Customer knows we are trying to get hold of them, even if the Task Reference has no meaning to them.  Just looking for an innovative ideas or others ways of working that are out there

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?

Has anyone done any configuration on generating affected user surveys where you can limit the number of surveys a user can receive if they’ve already received one within x amount of days? We don’t want to bombard our higher volume users with multiple surveys if they’ve already completed one in recent days etc.Nothing we can find on that currently beyond needing to potentially leverage professional services for something that otherwise seems like it would be in place for a customer somewhere already.Thanks

Hi all,I have a question regarding assystWEB, do you guys maybe know if there is an option to highlight updated tickets? Not by a notification bell, but by making the title bold or maybe some column with an icon when a ticket is updated?

Good day,We’ve been looking to import data into custom fields on Items. The wiki is very, very detailed for the Data Mapper, but there does not appear to be an example of how to update the value of a shared field (let alone, in our case, a single lookup field).Below is what we had come up with. assystETM recognizes our custom Item field, RESOLUTION-PROGRESS, but we do not know how to tell it to import the data for that field, as there are no fields to specify this. Clearly, we are missing something.  Can anyone give us a hint or direct us to an example for updating custom item fields? Really appreciate it,...Donovan

When attempting to log into Assyst at  /assystweb/application.do we are seeing a 20 delay before getting the login screen. Once past that it works fine.  Logging on to  /assystnet/#homepage does not have a delay, it’s pretty much immediate. 

Does anyone know the correct date format to use to update a custom date field via SmartMail/update_event_ejb activity?Per the wiki, it says it needs to be in the ‘YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss-OOOO ‘ format, which the value I’m passing is, but I can’t seem to get it to accept that date value no matter what I pass. I’ve tried the following:2025-04-08T12:00:00.00002025-04-08T12:00:00-0000date[2025-04-08 12:00:00.0000]date%222025-04-08T12:00:00-0000%22but none of these formats work.  

Even with the use of SLA Expressions, Assyst currently does not correctly measure SLA’s in some situations. For example, if an Incident’s Priority is changed but the assigned Service Department (SVD) stays the same it does not trigger. In our company we have different SLA’s for Priority 1 vs 2 vs 3. It’s very common for an Incident to get assigned to the correct SVD but after initial triage the incident priority is changed.  

While testing, our team has found an issue with SLA Resolution Times.SLA “Core-Critical Service” has Resolve Time as 30 days. On Testing we found that it’s not 30 Business Days instead it’s 30 Calendar Days.What changes can we make to setup this to 30 Business Days?Request you to please check this.

Our organization is upgrading from assyst 11.2.3 to assyst 11.7.2. In our current version, optional fields in the service catalog have an (Optional) tag below the field’s name. However, it looks like that tag has disappeared in 11.7.2.Is there a way for that tag to be shown in 11.7.2 automatically? Going through every field of every form to give them a new prefix or suffix is very inconvenient. For reference: In 11.2.3: In 11.7.2:Thanks.

Hi All,We have created a sample job title as “Not Used”When creating an assyst user and try to save the details an Error is throwing as "job title is required" even though the "Job Title" is already being selected. What can be reason for this error?   Regards,Nuwanthika 

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?

The View in Chart functionality is not allowing for modifications to the Primary & Secondary Grouping outside of Date/Time even though the Monitor in question has a Column Profile with more attributes than that.
