It would be helpful to skip the model selection step when there’s only one option available.So the flow would be: open ticket > device/hardware > phone > Cisco IP phone (skip model selection) > issue.

When I have 1:1 devices assigned to users and a user leaves the district (but does not return their device), what happens to that device?  Is it just unassigned?  Is there a report of users who leave the district but do not return their device?

 Above is the biggest hurdle in a new process in my location. As it stands now, our process is: Start Ticket > Confirm Issue > Send to -Hardware Vendor- > Run a shortcut made for our team for proper routing. This is an issue due to there being upwards of 10-15+ of these type of tickets coming in bulk.Our hardware vendor uses Autotask and the “Send to” button creates a ticket for them to work. For the most part I’ve finagled it to where that “Send to” button is the only hurdle I have in making the process quick and easy. I am hoping to receive some guidance on figuring this issue out to make mine and by extension my team’s job easier.

I am new to iiQ and am the Inventory Secretary for our school districts Maintenance Facility.  I enter invoice data information for All purchases our department makes.  (We previously came from School Dude/Asset Essentials) I know how to enter parts inventory but am searching for a way to enter any purchases (not a part) made for a work order ticket to be listed.  Besides just entering into the action notes field is there a way to set custom fields such as Invoice Date, Number, Cost, Vendor and Who Purchased to my ticket progress?  Anyone else have this available to them?

We could really use the ability to filter on ticket subjects, similar to the idea Allow Filter on Issue Description. The difference is the Subject field vs. the Issue Description. I feel both fields are really needed when filtering tickets.We often need to refer to resolved tickets from a long time ago. It is currently very difficult to find them. For example, we might be looking for every time we had to replace a projector bulb or for a specific time when computers were locking up, etc.Another way to handle this might be to allow filtering on a keyword anywhere in the ticket. I can see advantages to both (anywhere in the ticket vs. a specific field). This idea is similar to an older idea that got marked as a duplicate and added to an idea about searches that did not actually address the issue.

I like the functionality of a Quick Ticket and would like to employ for students to use to request a new ID card. Our thinking is we’d have a kiosk type station where students could login at the IT Helpdesk. The problem I have is what I am looking for sits somewhere in between a Quick Ticket and a Ticket Template. I like the ticket template because it has pre-filled the explanation section. But with a Ticket template it’s not as straight forward (more clicks) to create the ticket. Using a Quick Ticket, it’s right on their dashboard but the explanation block is blank unlike the ticket template. The block can be left empty to create a ticket I just worry about confusion. Is there any way to bridge the gap between ticket templates and Quick tickets?

Is it possible to have more detailed ticket filters? I would love a view where I am either a follower, requestor or the agent on a ticket. Basically any ticket I am involved in.It seems in my somewhat limited testing, that the filters get AND’ed. I would like a view where any of them are true.What am I missing? Thanks! James

Hi Incident IQ Community,We’re currently rolling out Incident IQ for the full 2025–2026 school year and could really use some advice on handling ticket submission visibility—especially for users without assigned rooms.Here’s the situation: Some of our campuses have been fully audited, and classroom teachers are claiming their rooms and assets just fine. However, staff in front offices and other non-classroom roles (even on audited campuses) don’t claim rooms, so they don’t have devices tied to their accounts either. On un-audited campuses, no one has assigned assets yet, which makes things even more complicated. We’re actively working to complete audits for all campuses as soon as possible, but in the meantime, this issue is impacting many users. In both cases, these users go to submit a ticket under Devices & Hardware, and they’re shown the full list of model categories. It’s a long list, and we’re concerned it’s too confusing—especially for users who just want to report som

Is anyone else seeing Quik Tickets not loading? It was a bit intermittent about 2 weeks ago, now they just do not show up at all. Just says Loading...

Had a coworker mention this to me yesterday, but our ticket templates are not showing up on the Create Ticket screen. I usually use bookmarks I have saved in my browser, so I’m not sure how long they’ve been missing.Permissions don’t seem to have changed. I haven’t contacted support yet, figured I’d post here to see if anyone else is having the same issue. 

Does iiQ have the ability to parse the body of an email to automatically change the requester based on a name found in the message text?I seem to recall some time ago someone found a way of achieving this, i can’t remember whether it was natively, though some automation or something else. Thank you

Hello,I have a custom field for a report request ticket that asks the user when they need the report by. I was wondering if there is a way to take the value of the custom field (date) and have it set the ticket due date to allow for notifications as the date gets closer. I’ve looked through the rules and ticket templates, and they do not appear to do what I want them to do, and there is no “if <customfield> checked, do <action> (set due date from custom field date)” syntax in the rules.This would be extremely helpful for this ticket type as many of these requests are from our Cabinet or Directors and are needed by specific dates and would make it so that there is less manual configuration on the agent’s end for a recurring ticket.Thanks!

Hi, My Team is opening a new building this year and retiring two others. I was wondering how to handle removing the old locations properly when it comes to assets and users.I have figured out how to set all users to migrate with our SSO to the new location along with any of their assets updated through a google or microsoft sync. I also have the new buildings room data filled out, but is there any other actions that need to be taken when it comes to opening and closing a new building Thankyou

I am trying to import meta information for a bunch of phones all at once. I plan to use an asset import to get all of the phones into IIQ Assets; however, I am looking for a quick way to get each phone’s extension also added to each asset. Thoughts?

Is there a way to bulk update the Specific Location field for assets? When editing an asset’s details, there’s a field called Specific Location under the Room section. I’ve been using this field to record the Chromebook cart number where the device is stored.I know how to bulk update the Room information, but I haven’t been able to find a way to bulk update the Specific Location field.Ideally, I’d like to filter assets by serial number, update their Room, and enter the cart number in Specific Location — all in one batch process. This would save a lot of time compared to updating each asset individually.

We have a number of assets that stay permanently in a certain room where users come to said room to use the equipment.  To assign the asset to room X, we created a “user” Room X and checked the equipment out to this “user”.  Is this the best way to do this?Is there a way to assign equipment to a location without having to check it out to a user?  I’m curious as to how other institutions handle similar situations. Thanks,Marita

Whenever I try updating a staff members permisisons I conyue to get this “Error saving user! User {UserId:'13c9fece-2067-408d-9a89-94b9494c957c'} does not have laborrates.manage permission .” error messsage.

Good afternoon ! So ever since the new update that allows label templates has launched I can’t print asset labels on my Zebra ZSB-DP12 label printer. I have tried creating a custom template as the labels are 1.25” x 3.5” and thought that was causing it. However when ever I try to print to it I get the “ Something went wrong when trying to print. Please check your printer and try again” I can send test print labels to it so I know it is connected and I can also send it to different print queues.  Anyone else run into this issue? 

We are new to this operating system and are wondering how we can get multiple of our agents assigned to one ticket.

For some reason, one of our agents gets an email notification where it shows one word (or so per line). He says that it appears this way no matter how wide he makes his email window. Is there a fix for this? Is it his Outlook settings or font settings? It’s like the column is too narrow. When I look at the Rule we set up for that team, it looks just like our Help Desk rule.  

Is there a way to generate a report of a specific agent’s activity on the platform? I have an intern working for us that I’d like to have progress monitoring setup for so I can see what changes he’s made in the system, etc. I mostly have him working on making sure assets that are stored in closets are enrolled, and it would be super helpful to have some type of activity audit report that I can run.

Does anyone have a payload to unassign an asset from a user, along with setting the verification date? I’m able to pull information from the API for a device but am having trouble updating fields on said asset.

I’m attempting to build out our Knowledge Base, but when I try creating a new article, my full list of categories are not visible in the category drop down menu. When I search for the desired category nothing is found.  

Hello all,We recently noticed that OU’s we’ve created in the Google Admin console are not visible in IIQ.  Our Google SSO and Google Device sync’s are both enabled and setup, and in the past when we created new OU’s they would propagate into IIQ during the next sync.  We are unsure where to check in the IIQ Admin pages or App Management to verify this.
