Adrian Simpkins Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 Hi All So we have accounts loading from 3 different Sites, and each Site has its own name set during the LDAP upload (Basildon, Mid and Southend). This data is then used in the Details tab and in custom request list views to filter by Site for our teams. However, I note that on most accounts I can change this Site in the Details tab which allows us to move requests to a different Site queue if required (we have staff working across all 3 sites so someones Computer logon shows as Site A, but they are working at Site B so our team filter by main site to identify the bulk of their work). But we have one account where I am unable to change the Site field, it just keeps defaulting to the value set as part of the LDAP upload. I have compared their account against other customers, and can see no obvious reason why. I am able to change their Site direct in the Organisational Data / Users, but when I look at the request this customer has raised I am unable to amend it from their AD loaded Site here? Anyone know why this may be happening at all please? Thanks !
James Ainsworth Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Hi Adrian, I believe that the normal behavior is that you can only change sites to the ones that are associated to that user. It may be that for some reason that user is only associated to one of the sites. There is this setting that does away with any checks for the sites where the customer is linked. It just lets you select any site that you defined in your organisational date. Let us know if you think that this may help.
Adrian Simpkins Posted February 19, 2020 Author Posted February 19, 2020 Hi James Thanks for the above - we only associate our AD accounts against the source Site, so I am still unsure why I can change this in the details tab on some customers, and other I can not? Many thanks
Victor Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 @Adrian Simpkins perhaps we need to look at the data behind this... can you raise a support request and we’ll have a look?
Adrian Simpkins Posted February 20, 2020 Author Posted February 20, 2020 Hi Victor Thanks for the above (as always !) I will arrange to raise a support ticket for this now Many thanks
Nanette Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 @Adrian Simpkins Just an update on this one: Turn on this app setting and you should have access to all available sites in your system when editing request details: app.request.update.site.showAllSites. If this setting is turned OFF then the list of available sites for selection is filtered based on customer associated site. Turn it ON and all sites are available for selection. Many thanks, Nanette. 1
Adrian Simpkins Posted January 20, 2021 Author Posted January 20, 2021 Hi All, So I have another request where we are unable to change the Site on the Details tab - I have double checked and app.request.update.site.showAllSites is still set to On - however, I am unable to change the site to one of the others (we have 3 main sites we set our requests against to filter to different site teams). I can change the Site with no issues on other requests but have this one request where no one can change the Site? Also the User who raised this issue mentioned the ability to change the Site appears sporadic - one week she could change it, then next she was unable to change it. I have also tried it on 3 browsers: IE - IE is not populating the Site when I change it in the details tab at all so unable to change the site at all Edge - Edge shows the alternative Sites when I start typing, but the Save button is not available to confirm change Chrome - same as Edge - shows the Sites, but no option to Save on the details tab. Any ideas why one specific request will not let us change the Site please? Many thanks as always
Victor Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 1 minute ago, Adrian Simpkins said: Any ideas why one specific request will not let us change the Site please? @Adrian Simpkins possibly an invalid site set against the user... which occurred possibly via an import (user import that sets the site)... we can't say with certainty unless we look at the data... https://www.hornbill.com/support/ 1
Adrian Simpkins Posted January 20, 2021 Author Posted January 20, 2021 Hi Victor, Thanks - the Site appears correct that is set already on the account. I will raise a support ticket now 1
Victor Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 @Adrian Simpkins what exactly is the issue... or when it occurs? Is it when you try and Save the request details after selecting a different site or?
Adrian Simpkins Posted January 21, 2021 Author Posted January 21, 2021 Hi Victor, The issue is changing the Site on a Request in the Details tab once it is assigned to a User. We have 3 main sites that load as part of our OU / LDAP import so each customer is set to one of the predefined 3 sites. Our teams then use the Site filter to set their work, and sometimes the Site the Customer has set needs to be amended so that the team(s) on the other Site can then view it in their Request List. The issue is that on this particular request we need to change the Site but when I go to change it the Save option at the bottom of the Details tab is 'greyed' out so only the Site the Customer has set against their profile is available. However, when I try this on other random requests I have no issue in changing this Site field in the Details tab, so just trying to understand why unable to change it on this particular request. I have just double checked the setting app.request.update.site.showAllSites and this is still set to On as per last updates Hope that makes sense Thanks
Victor Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 @Adrian Simpkins using Chrome or other browser? 1
Victor Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 Can you post/attach a screenshot to the support request please?
Adrian Simpkins Posted January 21, 2021 Author Posted January 21, 2021 Hi Victor, Just tried it again on all 3 browsers today: IE: doesnt load any Site other than the one that is loaded from Customers Profile Edge: Appears to let me change the Site? Chrome: Appears to let me change the Site? It definitely was not working yesterday for myself, or the User who raised the issue, however when trying it today it appears to be working now? Not sure why it was not working before today on this specific request though still? I have just tried it on a handful of other Requests and all appear to let me change the Site with no issues. So it looks like the Support Ticket can be closed, I will keep an eye out for this occurring again, and if it does I will repost / raise another ticket> I will talk to the Users who highlighted it to check they can do this now as well Many thanks ! 1
Adrian Simpkins Posted January 21, 2021 Author Posted January 21, 2021 Hi Victor, Quick update: The User who raised the issue on this specific request is also able to now change the Site with no issues Many thanks
Victor Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 @Adrian Simpkins good news then Let me know if it happens again. 1
