Before summer begins. When the school year begins. Before Winter Break.There's no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. We'd love to hear the reasons why your team chooses to conduct inventory audits during a specific time of the year.Sound off in the comments!

Keeping track of asset moves (New to IIQ)

Good morning, I am a new System Administrator to a district that uses IncidentIQ.  I have been tasked with finding a way to automate our asset location changes.  Our current system involves the following:Tech moves a device from Site A to Site B Tech fills out a Google form that documents the move from A to B Finance gets the form and then makes the change on their endWe would like to eliminate the middle step of the Techs having to fill out a Google Form.  If possible, we would like to implement some way in tickets of forcing a Tech to answer a question if a device was moved or not.  If the device was moved, it is to be documented some way in IncidentIQ.  I would then like to schedule a report to be ran at the beginning of the month that would send a list of all assets that moved locations that month to the Finance person’s email.Is this possible in some way?  Thanks for your time.

FAQ - Can you control what Popular Device Categories users see in Ticketing?

Yes! You can allow users to find and select common model categories based on their role during the ticket submission. From the Model Categories tab, select the categories and then Set Priority. From here you are able to set the visibility based on roles.   For more information, please see our Knowledge Base Guide:

Bluetooth scanners and Rapid Scan

Hello, We have scanners capable of bluetooth, when connected with default settings they only scan partial numbers, if we slow down the transfer rate of the bluetooth signal, it will read the full barcode, however this does not trigger Rapid Scan.Is there a way to manually trigger Rapid Scan? We looked into the Scanner setting in IIQ, however do not understand what those settings are actually adjusting.

Deprovisioned devices unlinking from ticket

When I send a Chromebook to Dell for repair, they automatically deprovision the device, causing the asset/device to unlink from the iiQ ticket after syncing with our Google Admin Console. Is there a way to prevent assets from unlinking to tickets during repair, regardless of their status in Google Admin?

SCCM IIQ Best Practice?

We are using SCCM for Windows Asset Integrations and occasionally run across issues where the device is completely gone from SCCM - we verify this by resource id, but we sometimes we see where when the device is renamed, it fails to update the asset with the new name stating that its still in use. Is there some soft of best practices that some have seen that will allow the devices to update. We hesitate on using the delete assets option for fear that it wont merge and just create a duplicate so we wouldn’t be able to check the real history without pulling up more than one device. Any input would be appreciated.

end users unable to search by asset #

Is anyone else having this problem?  I’ve had a ticket open for some time and they cannot seem to solve it, but our end users are unable to search by asset number from “Search” feature on the dashboard, when they are putting in a ticket, or  when creating a quick ticket for a device.  The only time it works is when they are adding a favorite.  As an Admin, I have never had an issue with this, but when I began preparing a class to teach staff, I came across this issue.  Every user (Not an admin) that I tested, regardless of browser of device type have had this issue. Anyone else?

Alerts for Lost Devices and Inactive Devices

Not sure if it exists but I’m looking for two things. One is that we have a lot of Chromebooks and siblings from other buildings love to mix up their devices and only after months have passed and a device needs to be serviced do we have to untangle the mess. Also somehow a student has lost their device but somehow this has gone unnoticed for months. Eternal loaners? If this can’t be done I’ll do a feature request.1. I want to be notified (Email/Report) if a user signs into a Chromebook they are not assigned to after X times (Ex. 3 times) Also exclude loaner pools.2. I want to be notified if an assigned device has not had its user sign in after X time (Ex. 2 weeks) Why haven’t you used your Chromebook?

New Search has issues

Since the new search was implemented, many of us are finding searching for assets produces 0 results, even though the asset is in there. We have to go to Asset Explorer, and search from there, then we find it. Also, this issue is very intermittent. One asset several of us couldn’t find yesterday works today. Is anyone else having this issue?

Location Mapping Location Name Dropdown

In Google Console, I have Location set to School and Room number.  When the sync runs with IncidentIQ, it does not always put a Location in Incident IQ.  The reason is because some of the locations in Google console are not mapped in IncidentIQ.  When I go to map the location (under Google Devices/Location Mappings/Custom Mapping) - the location name from Google console does not appear in the Dropdown list.  How do I add it?

See models without issues

We are finding that occasionally models get created and assets for that model added. But the models are not assigned to a model category such that they have issues assigned to them. This means when someone starts with that asset and creates a ticket they end up at a dead end because there is no issue in order to move the ticket forward.I suppose this could be solved by not allowing moving forward without assigning issues. Or if there was a way to get to a view that showed models without issues, we could police it ourselves. Or there is something else obvious we are missing.I agree people should not create this situation to begin with, but when someone forgets it won’t resurface until someone attempts to submit a ticket and notifies the IT Department. Open to advice or suggestions.

Syncing Google Chrome ZTE Devices that are in a Pre-Provisioned State

This is our first summer rolling out ZTE (zero-touch enrollment) devices, which have significantly shortened the amount of time we spend on deploying the devices.When we receive the shipment, they are already listed in our Admin Console with a “pre-provisioned” status. I just noticed that this status is not an option to sync over under the General Settings of the Google Devices Sync.I'm assuming that if we sync over all deprovisioned devices, they will come over, but that may also bring over unwanted retired devices from our past. (This has not been tested)I believe that the pre-provisioned status should fall under the “Active” state in IIQ. I can see the potential for us to assign and physically hand over a device to a student in a pre-provisioned state because all they really need to do is connect it to the WIFI, and it will automatically enroll within seconds. Thoughts?

Asset status

Is there a way to set up something when an asset is changed to a specific status the user assigned will get an automated fee/fine? In example if a student reported a device missing and we change the status to “stolen” it would give the student profile a fee on their profile for the device automatically.

Deleted Assets

When an asset is deleted does it stay in the deleted assets or does it get removed after so much time? Are the items permenantly there or do they go away after a set number of days? Thanks!

Device Deletion

Hello Everyone, I hope you are doing well.  I am working on cleaning up my database and am trying to wrap my head around the retirement/deletion process within Incident.  I wanted to see if I would lose data from my history if I deleted an item, so I set it to retired and then deleted it about 2 weeks ago.  Now, if I go into the item it gives me a banner that says it was deleted, but it will not show up under deleted items.  Is this the way it is supposed to work? I was hoping it would disappear from within the primary database, and only be visible within the deleted items area, while maintaining the history within my user’s timeline.   If I could get some advice on how this is supposed to work I would greatly appreciate it.

Tracking how many devices a student has been assigned

We would like to run a report on students showing how many devices each student has been assigned throughout the year. I know that while looking at a user profile we can see device history but its such a pain to go through every student you suspect as having been through too many devices. When assigning new devices and replacement devices we should be checking, but it often gets missed by library staff and new hires.Is there a way to run a report that will generate this information for us? Bonus points if we can also see how many devices we assigned as just replacements. (Excluding first assigned device).

How to create bulk quantity of same asset and how to bypass asset tag requirement?

I am trying to put my schools furniture into incident IQ and having trouble when it comes to things we have a bunch of that don’t have or need a unique identifier. For example we have 50 teacher workstations, 700 chairs, 150 tables, etc, etc.. Under assets I would like to put the 50 workstations without having to create one and clone is 49 times, but I am not seeing any way to do this. I can add the workstation, but there is no way to simply adjust the quantity. I hope I’m just being my slow self and missing where this is, but it seems like there is no simple way to adjust it kind of like how adjusting parts inventory works. I hope this is also something obvious I am missing as I don’t understand why we wouldn’t have the ability to simply make it optional.I am thinking of a workaround by importing a spreadsheet since I could just copy and paste to quickly get the quantity that I need. I was also considering putting them in as parts which could work ok.

multiple assets at the same time

Is there a way to assign multiple assets to one person within the same step? Could their be an option of “multiple assests”? I am finding that I am havnig to restart the process over for each assest that I am assigning a kid. I would like to be able to bring up this screen and scan all items to add.
