We recently upgraded from 11.5 to 11.8.4.  We are experiencing a weird issue.  When viewing in the queue, the task description shows but the parent log information (description) no longer shows, and it used to.  This is for new and older tickets, we cannot see it. If we open the parent ticket, we can see the information but not in this view for some reason.Here’s what it looks like when you open the parent  We were told by IFS that “You need to change description replace “ Additional information with” additional information”(replace uppercase A with lowercase a) and save it”We don’t know where to change th

HiI want to configure Assyst 25R1 to have closure drop downs list at the end of the ticket life, these would be the Symptom, Root Cause, and the Action taken by the person who resolved itHas anyone ever setup Assyst like this? Product Code, Product Area at the point of creation, then Symptom experienced, Action take to resolve the issue, and finally Root Cause reason all added at the point of ticket closure.  I wont to move away from the single Category codes   

Hello Community,During a recent demo call, we raised a question about how other assyst customers capture and report on ticket time across multiple teams and departments throughout the lifecycle of an event.A typical scenario for us might look like this:A ticket is logged with the Service Desk (e.g. ~5 minutes spent triaging and reassigning) The ticket then sits with a technical or resolver team for a longer period Finally, it is reassigned back to the Service Desk for closure (e.g. another ~5 minutes)My assumption is that this data is captured via the action register within the assyst database schema (time recorded against actions and assignments). However, we’ve struggled to surface this information in a meaningful way that clearly reflects:Time spent by each team Multiple assignment hops Overall lifecycle effort

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. 

Good morning, For anyone who was not aware, Apache has released a security advisory relating to ActiveMQ versions prior to 6.3.2, which are included in assyst as the assyst External Messaging System. https://www.cyber.gc.ca/en/alerts-advisories/apache-activemq-security-advisory-av26-330When we contacted IFS about this yesterday, we received the following reply:With regards to incident 507287, this is the issue is Vulnerability CVE-2026-34197 After investigation, the IFS assyst Service Desk have confirmed that your incident has highlighted a new defect and as a result we will log a new problem record.The following workarounds have been identified that may help mitigate the impact of this defect: (1) - Ensure that "Enable Web admin

Hello Community,Automatic Assignment When Logging Events via assystWEB)When an Assyst user logs an event via assystWEB, the resulting ticket has both the Assigned Service Department and Assigned User fields left blank. The default available action is “Reassign Event.”We would like to understand whether this behaviour can be configured so that, when an event is logged via assystWEB, the Assigned Service Department and Assigned User are automatically populated with the service department and user account that is currently logged into assystWEB. Reassignment would then be performed only where required as a secondary action.The expected exception to this behaviour is where an End User logs a ticket via assystNET (self‑service portal). In that scenario, we would expect the existing service catalogue–driven default assignment l

Hello Community,We’re looking to better understand what accessibility or quality‑of‑life features are available within assystWEB or assystNET, particularly around supporting colleagues who experience accessibility challenges.We’ve received feedback relating to usability and ease of interaction, and would like to know what options currently exist, for example:UI customisation (layout, font size, contrast, etc.) Accessibility or usability toggles Compatibility with assistive technologies (e.g. screen readers, keyboard navigation) Any known configuration settings or recommended practices that improve accessibilityWe’re currently running assyst version 11.8.4.We’d be really interested to hear from the community:What accessibility features you’re using today in assystWEB or assystNET Whether any improvements were achieved through configuration,

Hello Community,We’re exploring ways to increase automation within our access management processes, specifically whether assyst workflows can be used to trigger outbound actions such as adding users to Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) groups based on ticket or workflow outcomes.We already make use of inbound integrations (for example, Intune feeding data into assyst). However, our focus here is on using assyst as a driver for outbound actions, rather than purely as a consumer of external data.Our current understanding is that this type of integration would most likely be achieved using AssystETM (e.g. via workflow steps and external calls), but we’re keen to understand how others have approached this.We’d be interested in hearing from the community:Have you implemented outbound integrations from assyst to Entra ID (such as managi

Is it possible to show the name and/or shortCode (name) of Items in the Product Tree Data Explorer in assystWeb? Currently, it seems that only the shortCode is displayed at the Item level in the hierarchy, while the parent levels show only the name.To illustrate There does not seem to be much detail about this in the wiki, and I haven’t been able to find any system parameter or user preference that can be toggled to change this behaviour. Does anyone have additional information on this?For reference: https://wiki.axiossystems.com/assyst24R2Wiki/index.php/Data_ExplorersIs this something that is currently possible, or would it need to be raised as an idea?

Hi all,We are currently using the standard searchable entities in assystNET when searching for the Affected User (e.g., Name, Department, Section, Building, etc.).We would like to check if it is possible to extend or customize these searchable entities specifically for the Affected User lookup.In particular:Can we add additional searchable fields/entities to this search dialog? Is it possible to include custom fields in the Affected User search? Are there any configuration options or best practices to enhance this search capability?Our goal is to improve the search experience and make it more flexible based on business needs.Any guidance or documentation would be highly appreciated.Thanks in advance. 

Can I use a network drive as the source configuration directory for an ETM import rather than a local folder?  I keep getting an error so I was hoping there was a workaround or config setting to allow this.  I need a 3rd party to drop a file in a network folder so ETM can kick off it’s usually processing of an import file.  Is there any other simple solution for this?Thanks!T

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 everyone,I would appreciate some guidance on an assyst workflow / ETM use case.In our Change Request (CR) workflow, the assigned user can take an action called “Add Info”. When they select this action, they: add a comment, and attach a file (if needed) This triggers a notification to the requester (email) to provide the missing information.The requester then goes to assystNET and replies by: adding the requested details as a comment uploading an attachment (e.g. the completed form) However, because the requester cannot see the CR workflow tasks in assystNET, their reply is captured on the parent CR event, not on the active workflow task that is actually waiting for their response.What I am trying to achieve is: When the requester adds a

Hello,I'm reaching out to see if anyone could share some examples of how to use the Assyst Message Bus Request when creating channels in ETM.I'm trying to expand my toolset when working with ETM and want to understand the possibilities and limitations of writing to, and then reading from, the same message bus queue.I've been referring to the Assyst wiki for guidance, but it lacks examples on how to fill out all the field types available during Assyst Message Bus Request datamapping. Specifically, I'm looking for guidance on:How to fill out the various options present in the Assyst Message Bus Request. When and how to use the different optional mapping fields. Any particular cautions or best practices to consider wh

Hi Team,we are working on mapping ITOM assets (servers, VMs, databases, storage) to business/application services in assyst CMDB, for example, linking all mail related components under an E-mail Service.Could you share guidance on the best approach, required fields in the Service Catalog, and recommended practices for building these relationships effectively?Currently, we have support for ITOM, and we would like someone to assist us with the CMDB part. Thanks in advance.

Hi,I’m using Assyst 11.7.2 and ETM version 1.7.2.I’m trying to populate a Custom Sigle-Line String field that has been added to an Incident form. As you can see in the screenshot, the data that I want to populate the field with is available in the ETM Channel.  It shows if I map it to the Remarks field.  However, it does not populate the Custom field.The Custom field short-code in the Data Mapper matches that of the field in the Customizer.What am I missing?  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hello,We are currently running IFS assyst 25R1 SU2 (On-Premise) and the web access is working perfectly.Environment details: On-Prem deployment Authentication method: SAML Mobile device is domain-joined Access via mobile browser (Safari/Chrome on iPhone/iPad) → Working fine Access via desktop browser → Working fine However, when using any of the available IFS apps from the Apple App Store, none of them are working. I tested all available IFS applications and none were able to connect successfully.Important note:From the same mobile device, I can access the assyst URL via browser without any issue (including SAML authentication). So connectivity, certificate, and authentication appear to be working correctly at browser level.Questions: Are the IFS mobile apps supported for 25R1 SU2 On-Prem environmen

Does anyone know how to update a custom field to empty/blank using the update_event_ejb action? Sending nil just makes it ignore any updates, and sending “”, null or [empty] just gives an error. For now I’ve ended up updating the field value to NBSP, which makes it “look” blank, but doesn’t actually make it blank.
