  1. Hi, 

    I am having a bit of a housekeeping session and setting the naming conventions and categories on all of our forms and business processes, The Intelligent Captures are nice and easy and as I would expect however when it comes to the business processes it seems harder than what it ought to be, is their any reason I can't rename them and that I almost have to duplicate them with the new name, then update all catalog items to the new value?

     

    They are live processes but I would have thought an ID was used as the unique identifier so it seems odd a simple name change is so difficult to achieve

  2. I've just had to use the user off boarding, very useful feature however the flow was not great, I had to reassign some tasks but once I did this it returned with user has no tasks (as it had reassigned them) and then I had to refresh just to go back to the user and set them as a basic, so may need a bit more work doing to it, other than that great feature!

  3. Are you referring to creating a request in the first place? 

    assuming you are, what are your subscribers set to? when logging as an analyst you act as the customer you set, so if you are using the test account and they are not a 'subscriber' of the service you wouldn't see any catalog items for them, maybe this is your issue?

    1. Can Incidents be passed between Services? E.G. If a ticket is raised against Service A and assigned to UK Company -> UK IT Support, can that ticket be re-assigned to Service B and assigned to India Company -> India IT Support Team?

    Yes if both teams are a Supporting team within the service - by default this also gives access to the requests within the service

    2. How do you define which Service Portfolio is available for users? My test user is a member of the new Org / Team but cannot see the newly created service when creating a new ticket despite permissions being set to allow them to see the new Portfolio?

    You should be able to do this by setting the 'Subscribers' within a service for customers and 'Supporting teams' for analysts

    If it is not possible to accomplish this using split Service Portfolios, is there a way i can segregate a "Team" and remove the ability to see any tickets raised against the Service that are not directly related or assigned to the Team?

    This is kind of possible but clunky, I have a similar scenario where a team can't see another services requests by default but sometimes an escalation will require them to be able to view them, I accomplish this by using an auto task that flips the Business process and service it belongs to so that the team do then have access to the request, but off the back of this you would need a skeleton business process to flip to (so you don't repeat confirmation emails and tasks etc) and then another one to flip it back

     

    Hope this helps

  5. Hi @Steve Giller I appreciate that but certain things such as changing asset status' when we move assets in bulk more often than not is quite tedious with what is currently provided and being able to make an auto task that could do this until something is developed within the workflows would make this task easier, The scripts aren't an option we would consider providing to every user that has to move assets around the organisation 

  6. Is it possible at all to make an api call to Hornbill within our workflows? some things don't exist ..yet? within the autotasks especially but if I can make an api call from within an asset I can do some status changes or anything else that is not yet developed. I had a ganders at the cloud HTTP basic auth request but I'm not sure what I would be passing over to authorize said api call from within a workflow, I would ideally rather that this behaved as each user opposed to a generic api key

  7. Hi @Frank Reay Thank you for the response, the translations is what I was looking into doing but I can't find the correct one for the life of me, I don't suppose you could send me that path? I tried querying assets, current, archived etc and nothing relevant returned in the translations

  8. +1 for this, quite a few times our analysts will do the same request as they have no way of knowing when another analyst is viewing it, granted it should be on the 'owner' but when requests first come in via portal our service desk will assign to themselves or request further info and sometimes 2 people could be doing this at the same time

  9. Hi, 

     

    I'm curious as to the benefits of the status' Active, Current and Archived and how other people use them. Mainly interested in the 'Archived' ..this doesn't seem to actually archive assets? and further down the line once an assets lifecycle is complete are we to just change there status or should we be deleting them? what are the benefits of either and particularly considering storage? 

  10. Hi, 

     

    Is it possible to update an asset such as the status using a custom button? it seems the only nodes available are based on the requests and not just of an asset alone. The auto tasks are set to asset. Also when multiple assets are linked to a request, is there any way to differentiate the linked assets? For example when a device is initially linked to a request it is due to have an issue with it, when we replace it we would link the new asset to the request. Within the process I would like to update the status of the old device to something such 'with engineer' and the replacement device to be updated to 'with user'. Is this possible at all?

  11. So some requests we keep a sharepoint auditable list for, for example enhanced permissions which are provided on request with a business case etc, currently we use sharepoint for these lists from a form that then populates this the list

  12. How does the query work from the virtual agent into the knowledge base? is it working via inidvidual keywords or phrase or any other way? I could do with understanding this as more often then not FAQ's are not being returned that are relevant or the most relevant is returned lower down the list etc
