How to Suggest a Best Answer to a Moderator

How to Suggest a Best Answer to a ModeratorIf you come across a helpful reply that clearly solves the original question — but the thread author hasn't marked it as the best answer — you can suggest it to the moderators using the "Report" feature.Here’s how: Click on the three dots at the bottom right of the reply. Select "Report" from the dropdown menu. In the report reason, write:“Suggested best answer” Why this matters:Marking the best answer helps others quickly find solutions, keeps the forum organized, and shows appreciation to helpful contributors. If the original poster forgets, your suggestion helps moderators highlight quality content.Thank you for helping improve the experience for everyone!Best regards,IFS Community Team

By default, the menu bar is hidden (which is good if you have little room on the screen). Press and release the Alt key to show it. Keep the IFS navigator hidden, and use the shortcut panel instead. Learn the keyboard shortcut Shift+Ctrl+F to show and focus the navigator filter. (press Escape to close it again) Show and hide the Attachments section using Ctrl+2 (the other context panels can be opened and closed using the numbers 1 and up.)

Event Search Form - Filter by Affected User

 Is there a way to change/edit the filters on the Event Search in assystWEB?I know we can use affected_user_name:"Joe Bloggs" to find all associated tickets to that user, but it would be good to just be able to type their name in with fields specifically for affected user, summary etc. When using the search, it tends to be a case of sifting through each ticket individually to find the one you’re looking for. This is a pain when someone pops in without a ticket number.
