PATCH 2.29.4

 

This patch addresses an issue where analysts were unable to log, update or resolve/close requests if the analysts only have Incident Management User and/or Service Request User roles assigned.

If your service desk analysts are configured to only use these roles for request management please update to this release.

PATCH 2.29.5

 

This patch addresses an issue whereby the request list failed to load and eventually crashes the browser. This does not affect all instances as it occurs in a specific circumstance and also occurs only when using Chrome browser. If you are affected by this issue please update to this patch to have this fixed.
