We are having an issue relating around the automation from site options for asset automation. We are using 3 of the 4 options available, When User is assigned asset, update asset to match owner location and owner’s room. We are also using When User location changes, update asset to match owner location.The combination of those 3 solves most of our issues when staff/students move around, but it does present us with a large issue that I am hoping to address and get fixed. We have a process where some students are given an obsolete Chromebook after X years of use/district enrollment. Those Chromebooks are processed for surplus and removed from our District inventory, but they remain in IIQ for tracking who we gave them to. In IIQ they are set to our Surplus location and then retired.The problem we are getting is 8th graders who leave the district with their Chromebook, then return later to our high school and the site options trigger their retired Chromebook to come back

Is there a way to remove the “Stolen” option from the user window when looking up a student in Asset Exchange? 

I am unable to customize the icon when working in issues, but the icon doesn’t update when putting in a ticket.                                             Issue icons are visible when modifying issuesIssue icons default back to a folder when putting in a ticket. 

We’ve been using the Email to Ticket feature as part of some of our beginning of year workflows and have experienced some issues that I’d like to reach out to the community to ask about resolving or at least alleviating. Our current setup is this: Microsoft Form → Power Automate Flow → Outlook Email → Ticket Creation.  We are having to use this setup due to legacy forms being already dispersed to a large group and the fact that we cannot link directly to specific issues ticket entry types in iiQ when communicating with our teams at different sites. The issues we are seeing: When using Email to Ticket, the body of the email will only partially be delivered into the ticket details. Sometimes, the ticket will only contain the first word of the email body, which requires me to reforward the email to get it to create the full body.   Sometimes there are significant delays or no tickets created, despite the email being successfully

Since there is no SMS notification option for agents, and since AT&T has shutdown their e-mail to text gateway (number@txt.att.net) and Verizon will soon do the same, I need to engineer another method of getting updates to agents via text.  I use Twilio from other monitoring systems to send SMS - how can I create notifications from IIQ to Twilio using webhooks or other API?

So, we have staff that are reassigned for the next school year, mid-way through the school year, or staff that serve multiple schools. I have set up a view to catch those tickets that put the Location as Unassigned, but how can I catch those whose Requested For location and Location differ? The example below shows how staff are trying to correct it by putting this information in Location Details. I’m trying to teach them how to Edit Location, but in the meantime, I need to make sure our teams go to the right place.  Thanks for any help you can provide.

We would like to set up our old tech-help@domain.com to forward requests over to our IIQ instance. I set up a rule to fire “When from email” and I added a condition of “To Email = techfwd@domain.incidentiq.com” and an action of “Approve ticket creation from email”.When I put techfwd@domain.incidentiq.com in the Forwarding section of the Gmail setup for the old mailbox, it sends a confirmation code. I haven’t seen that confirmation code come through in the form of a ticket. Is there something I am missing?

Is there a permission setting or something else that can limit an agent to only view assets for certain building/location? 

There are five fields that you can write to on the Google backend.Asset ID User Location OU NotesI know that through the Google Devices app, we can set filters to set an OU based on filters that are setup (and there is an FAQ article on this functionality).  What I want to know is, are there ways to set write-backs for the other four fields?  I have not been able to find any documentation on that.Thank you

Just out of curiosity, is there anyway to add date on the export with a variable so it doesn’t get over written?I do not want to keep changing the dates especially if it’s a daily export.   

Good afternoon Team, Question.  Has anyone else experience their custom asset labels not working this morning?  I tried printing some labels out, and I notice our whole label was different.  There is also a message under admin, site options stating that “Your district has a custom asset label created by Incident IQ. If you would like to use the asset label designer, please contact customer support to reset your custom template.”  I opened a ticket about this issue (6600) and the ticket has been claimed but I haven’t heard anything back yet since 11am EST.    

Is anyone having issues Linking/unlinking devices in Inventory? We go thru the steps & it goes thru but does not change. The Timeline shows it was done but anything unlinked or linked still shows up. This was working last week but appears to be a new issue for our staff.

Is anyone else having issues with asset linking?When we go to link assets it will say completed and show in the timeline but when we go back and check the linked assets tab the new assets are not linked.  The same thing is happening with unlinking as well.  

I am looking for a way to make a report\view of a certain Chromebook model that has had the Asset Tag field changed within a date range. I do not see a filter to look for the tag changing. Is there a way to get the information?

How do I add hyperlinks to this Email Body field for this rule we have in the Asset Rules section? There’s no markup toolbar… I would like the user to be able to click on the OS and go to the cooresponding instructions (i.e. Windows when clicked should go to that specific URL). Any ideas? 

So this isn’t making sense to me, but since nobody else has mentioned it I have to assume I’m overlooking something.We previously set up the Intune app to only create devices and update custom fields, just so we could get them pulled in. Like so:  Yesterday, I checked the “Update Asset” box to update the asset and custom fields so that we’re pulling in current usage data, etc. Shown here: That setting alone is causing the Asset Tag field in iiQ to be overwritten with the Device Name from Intune. So lucky me, I’ve successfully erased about 10k asset tags. We can work through that though… I don’t see anywhere in the options that suggests the device name

Student needs two devices. one for school one for home can I use the same student code for both?

If this question has already been brought up, forgive me for digging it back up. Is it possible to create a ticket template (with the perk of being able to attach an asset to the ticket) but make it accessible on your dashboard like a quick ticket?

can I edit and or add user roles in Incident IQ?

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 olde

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?
