Hello I was wondering if there is anyway to make AssystETM/iPaas search for the tickets on Assyst to fetch and modify the content without the need to upload the data by csv file. I am trying to create a channel for Bulk update, although I’m not sure what is the proper configuration for the channel, currently we are using csv files, to upload the reference and reflect the changes.
Hello,I’m working on process improvements and trying to understand more about how the workflows work and they functionalities. I’m not the assyst Admin, but work with them when request form changes.I have many general questions I’m sure a user guide would answer.Thanks in advance for any help.C.
How to use AssystRest to insert a batch of events?
Has anyone tried/ succeeded/ know if it is possible to set up a mailbox reader channel in assystETM that will use an attached spreadsheet as the data source? Alternatively, how to pass this spreadsheet into another ETM channel for processing?Use case:We provide our users with spreadsheet templates that they complete and we import by datamapper channel. For example, purchased IT assets imported upon delivery to be updated and added to in more detail later by our discovery toolset. This is currently emailed to us and manually imported but I would like to be able to have their email automatically populate the database.
Hello Are there a method to resolve and close all active SR,CR,Incidents. that are attached with a workflow without closing each task manually?, So I have found dozen of unresolved incidents, Service Requests, and incidents, which was resolved but the tasks were not updated (resolved/closed) I couldn’t do a bulk change on them given the fact that all of them have multiple unresolved tasks Currently the only way to close the requests with one click is through state actions >> Withdraw but unfortunately that doesn’t meet our requirements to complete the workflow as it withdraw the process and closes the record as withdrawn, is there anything similar that automate the process and resolve all the tasks it would even be better if it continue the workflow. alternatively is it possible to create any type of automation on Assyst that does this? any ideas would be appreciated. Action Processor/ AssystETM, I am aiming to make it available for end-users
Hi! While testing the anonymous affected user feature in assyst 11.2, I noticed some unwanted behaviors. First off, from the assystNet side, when filling a user fills out a form and uses the anonymous user feature, the information entered in the anonymous fields is replaced by the logging user’s information when the form is submitted. This means that the anonymous user feature cannot really be used from assystNet, since the data captured is immediately replaced. The second behavior originates from assystWeb. We have been able to change the Affected User field so that it contains an anonymous user and save the ticket in that state. However, when performing a “Closed / Resolved” or “Pending Closure” action on the ticket, which can both result in the ticket being marked as closed, an error occurs which prevents us from executing the action. Here is a screenshot of what occurs: It’s important to note that my team administrates the platform, but that we don’t have direct access to the con
Hi Could anyone recommend report to show the full history of ticket in one page? I need to know how much time ticket spending in each service department

We are currently using assyst 11.3.1Anyone successful using SAML authentication with Azure AD?The problem we are having is with the section "Enabling SAML Authentication using the assyst Installer" from the 11.3 wiki:It states the installer will create SAML XML files, which you have to provide to Azure to complete the config on the Azure side. But this documentation wants you to configure the installer first, before you have the values Azure needs.We need help generating the XML file from their installer that will then be needed to configure Azure. Thoughts?
Can we get help on some functionality of action processor. We would like to get the Task Description appended to Custom Field (“Field1”) in the Service Request when the Action “Commit” is apply.
When someone clicks on Menu > Search > Event Monitor > Event Search, is there an admin change that can be made so that users can get directly to the Event Search query instead of having to click on the Query button?
Hi, We have an ADExport.csv file which overnight imports users into Assyst via ETM. Sometimes, a user fails to import so we manually have to import that user via ETM. I’ve written a basic PowerShell script which prompts us to enter in the Email address of the user that has failed to import. Once the email address has been entered, the script then searches for that user in the ADExport.csv file. Once the user is found in the file, it copies the following file headers into a new .csv file: "sAMAccountName","userPrincipalName","SID","GivenName","Description","sn","physicalDeliveryOfficeName","Department","mail","telephoneNumber","userAccountControl","MobilePhone","Manager","ManagerName","ManagersAMAccountName","extensionAttribute11","DistinguishedName" The script then copies the users info found in the ADExport.csv file then pastes it into the new .csv file created above. I’ve confirmed each header has the correct info assigned.When I import the new .csv into ETM, it shows the following e
Hello, I’ve just upgraded from assyst IPaaS 1.4 to 1.6 and after reading the current wiki, I’ve got the impression that I could use IPaaS to trigger some data maintenance. However, I could not understand how to do it by looking only at either https://wiki.axiossystems.com/assyst11-2Wiki/index.php/Integrations:assystETM_1.6_-_Channel_Configuration#Timer or https://wiki.axiossystems.com/assyst11-2Wiki/index.php/Integrations:assystETM_1.6_-_Data_Mapping My use case: Close some open events which may contain or not an attached process.1 - First problem: I could not understand how to query open RFCs. For example, I’ve tryed to define a single data mapper for Event resource type and tryed to search for status, but I’ve got the following error: I’ve could not find any guidance on how to inform Java Enum values such as EventStatusTypeEnum. 2 - We have some RFC configured with attached process that contains a decision task asking for the RFC results. We’d like to automatically answer that decis
I’m a bit of a newbie to AssystREST and so maybe missing something glaringly obvious so please forgive me. I am trying to test AssystREST API with very little success.https://Server:port/assystREST/v2/ramlI can run the above and bring back all the resourceTypes from the api server, however trying to bring back an event based on the ID gives me a permission issue. When using postman to test I just get a 401 unauthorised code.
we'd like that a knowledge procedure is shown in assystnet while an incident is being logged. In the wiki we read that it is possible but we didn't find how to configure it. Can you help to find the related wiki page or give us some instructions?
I would like a way to set fields to be hidden (in a similar way that Visibility Expressions can be used to show fields).
The Assyst Wiki is a lacking on the details on how to authenticate against the API, and is at times providing seemingly contradicting information when reading different articles. This paired with no examples of how to authenticate depending on the installed authentication mechanisms cause a lot of confusion. Are there examples of how to authenticate against the assystREST API depending on the different Server Security Mappings selected for assystREST? How does one go about to use bearer tokens when authenticating a postman query, a 3rd party software, or an external script?To illustrate what I’m looking for: As an example using Kerberos, this would work when a PowerShell script is ran, and the script contains a dedicated service user’s username and password. PowerShell script example: $url ="https://<server>:<port>/assystREST/v2/raml" $cred = (New-Object system.management.automation.pscredential("%username%", (ConvertTo-SecureString '%password%' -AsPlainText -Force)))
Does anyone have an example of adding attachments to an event via the API? I have the API working to create a new event and return the ID of the event, and I see some notes in the Wiki about how to post an attachment, but that info is very limited on how to actually do it. It only provides the following, with no further details:<attachment> <name>REST ATTACHMENT</name> <attachment>iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAH0AAAA...</attachment> <fileName>assyst_logo_ano.png</fileName></attachment>I get what the Name value should be and the filename, but what is the “attachment” value exactly? Is that the path to the file? Is that the file type? Not sure exactly what that is.Thanks in advance.
Hello,I created an html formatted email but when the email notification comes in via Outlook, all the html code shows and none of the formatting. Any idea how to get it to come through. We are using assyst 11.5.We currently use .txt files and I’m trying to get it to look nicer, insert links etc.Thanks
It would be useful for “OR “ and “IN” functions could be used in expressions. For example within customiser forms, a visibility expression of: $W("Lookup Field 1")="Value1" OR $W("Lookup Field 2")="Value2" Thus negating the need for the creation of multiple fields to perform the same function.Anyone else think so? Please upvote :)
We’re new to the use of the Service Catalogue so are still finding our feet with it all so apologies for the newbie question.When creating an offering you have to specify a default item and category value, even though the actual values can be part of a list. We’re finding that, in a few instances, staff are just accepting the default values when filling in the form and not actively selecting the required value.Is there a way to have the offering form display a blank value in those fields so that it prompts (forces?) a value to be selected?Thanks
Good morning all, I am looking to add an alert or pop up message to an existing Assyst Incident so that when the next analyst opens this request they will get a prompt to alert me. To be specific this is for asset management and I am waiting on a specific component to come in. We have a lot of staff involved so rather than trying to alert everyone I am hoping there is a way to have a message pop up when this item comes in and they try to update or close the Incident. I am relatively new to Assyst so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Assyst v11.5.2SmartMail v1.12.5 We are developing a new process in assyst that all starts with a new custom logging form within assystNet. The users completes the questions and then has to attach a document before being able to submit the request. After the request has been logged, the attachment(s) that the user has attached to the request needs to be attached to an email that is sent externally. How can I automate this please by using AP rules and SmartMail without someone having to manually trigger this by taking a specific action and select the attachment? The aim is to automate as much of this manual process as possible
Is there any possibility to get the selected Decision Answer of a Decision Task using assystREST? From playing around with the API, I can get the Attached Decision Answers on the Decision Task event, but I can't find any easy way to see which one was selected. I also had a look at the Actions schema which includes a Decision field, but it seems like this is only used when taking a Decision action via REST, and doesn't return a value after the fact.
Hi,I have a Single Line string custom filed on a logging form, and would like to add a Validation Expression that stops a user entering 000000 or 123456.I’m able to write an expression that allows only 000000, but not able to write an expression that doesn’t allow that combination of numbers.Has anyone had any luck writing this kind of validation expression?Thanks in advance
