Currently the Location filter for Fields in new Events tickets seems to look at the location of the person submitting the  ticket. If an East Campus user books a room in the West Campus their location does not change. For now we can ask them to manually change it but the leads to a significant point of failure for us. The case scenario is we have a location where the users are required to indicate if Security is for the event. We would rather not have this appear on all tickets, just the location that requires it.

I’ve been messing with this for a bit today.  Basically we have our IT staff and 1:1 Building Point of contacts.  The 1:1 poc checks in/out devices and creates tickets for 1:1 issues at the buildings.  I want to make it so if an asset is checked in at the school, it sets the status to “In School Storage”.  I would then like to make it that when an IT worker checks it in, it sets the location to the IT warehouse and then sets the status as “In Storage”.  I could do it if I could make different asset rules based on the role of the person doing the work but it seems when I choose role, it’s the role of the owner of the asset not the person doing the work.  This will be our first collection with IIQ and I’m trying to figure out a good flow as we’ll be collecting 7000+ chromebooks from our Junior HIgh and High Schools.  Anyone have any ideas?

Good morning! I am trying to create a rule that when a device is in a specific OU in Google Admin, it updates the device to “In Storage”. I am able to do this easily. My question is is there any way to make it update when Google Devices syncs overnight? I have the rule set to “On ‘Updated’”, but it does not update after a sync. Do I have to manually update it for that to work?

Hi We are wondering if there is a way to correct the line spacing on comments when viewing them through email. Please look at the example below.  

Is it passable to to make a required field somewhere in the ticket side to have a tech select if the device was “Accidental damage, Student damage, or Staff damage” and be able to filter the results after the ticket is closed?   

Hello,I am utilizing the API method listed in this post and it only seems to work when trying to search for email addresses of users under the iiQ Administrator, Student, and Staff roles, but not for those under the Parent/Guardian or Guest roles.I receive exact results when I search for a student or staff member by their email address, but I get random information back when I try with any parent email address that’s listed under the Parent/Guardian or Guest roles. This is also the case if a user does not exist in iiQ.Is there a reason why the parent email address would not be showing up with a user ID even though they exist in IncidentIQ? For additional information about our IncidentIQ set up in case it helps:I have an iiQ Administrator role so this shouldn’t be an issue related

Is it possible for a cancelled event to be removed from the Google Calendar? When an event gets cancelled, it is still showing on our Google calendar.

When I attempt to print asset labels through IIQ, I am unable to get them to print landscape, rendering them functionally unusable.This is a new development, as it worked correctly before the weekend.This is happening to not just me, but everyone in the department who tries to print asset labels.It is not an issue with my settings or the device, as labels print correctly in landscape in every other instance, including other Chrome locations and in the Dymo application. When I choose to Print Asset Label, I am not presented with the option to adjust the orientation of the print job. Even when I choose to “Print using system dialog...” and ensure

I would really appreciate a feature where you could check a box perhaps on the check in/out screen and see a the full history of devices checked in/out for the day. As it is, as soon as you navigate away from the check in/out page, the history erases and you can’t see prior check outs for the day. Even a report option where you can see check outs for a given day would be helpful as well. 

We have our teachers checkout/assign chromebooks during preplanning to their students. We have them navigate as follows:My ClassesHRCheck Out Assets When we do this, it doesn’t change the device’s status to ‘In Service’. I would VERY much like to find a way that we could achieve this without having to give the teachers elevated rights. Any thoughts?

Our helpdesk has created a new custom field for intentional damage to devices. This custom field is set to be automatically applied to any ticket that has the “RMA” Issue. What we are expecting to see is that any ticket that currently has that issue assigned to it updates with that new custom field. What we are actually seeing is that if a ticket is opened under a different issue and it’s changed to “RMA” the custom fields don’t update to reflect that new issue. We are also seeing that if the ticket was opened before that custom field was added it will not get the new custom field.Is anyone else experiencing anything like this? Is this working as intended and if so, how to I get the new custom field added to all tickets with this issue?

Hi all,I'm trying to learn more about Forms in Incident IQ. I’ve looked into the iiQ Academy and other posts in this forum, but I haven’t found a one-stop-shop for everything and anything Forms: how to find them, how to create them, how to enable them, how to utilize them, etc.Specifically, I'm looking for a way to create a Form that someone can easily access via a link, fill out, and then have an automated action triggered once the form is submitted, like automatically creating a ticket using the data from the form submission.I know this is kind of open-ended, but if anyone has experience with this or could point me toward helpful resources or best practices (even other posts from the IIQ forums), that would be great!

Does the API querying have access to Depreciation Information, such as Replacement cost? I get a whole lot of fields back when getting an asset but I do not see Replacement Cost.

Hey, I am interfacing with the API using Google App Scripts using HTTP post. I'm wanting to grab several assets from a search and filter based on AssetTag. I can easily get something with an AssetTag of 2101011 but I don't know how to get all the assets with an AssetTag starting with 21. Is this possible? I loved to be able to do this. My current json body query looks like:{"Filters":[{"Facet": "AssetTag","Value": "123456"}]}I’d like something like:{"Filters":[{"Facet": "AssetTag","Value": "12%"}]}Which gives me all the assets starting with 12

See below. What is this icon supposed to represent? I asked support and they wouldn’t tell me.My best guess is that it’s an automobile engine with an exclamation mark inside of it, like you’d see on a car’s dashboard if it needs service.Enlarged: 

We recently started using the Facilities module in IIQ. Being an IIQ administrator already I have been helping the Facilities team with getting setup. Yesterday we had an interesting occurrence that I can’t wrap my head around. I replied to a ticket in the “Ticketing module”. The requestor replied to that email, but when they did, it created a new ticket in the Facilities module. This has only happened once with an external user (parent). We only use email to ticket creation.I came to the knowledge base and learned how to create a shortcut to send the ticket to Ticketing and vice versa. I updated the “Facilities” “from” email so it was no longer “notifications@”.Any other insight on why this may have happened would be appreciated. Thanks! 

When I am viewing an individual user and click on one of their assets, frequently what opens is the last View I had open instead of the Asset record. This has been happening for a few weeks now. I have seen that the system seems to work in layers, so I think what’s happening is that the asset is  hidden beneath the View that comes to the top.  But I can’t get to the asset without trying the whole thing over, or closing the tab and reloading IIQ. I have checked around the borders of the window, looking for an “edge” or some way to get to lower layers with no luck. 

In the default asset csv download, there are some fields that do not map to the asset record in IIQ:Retired Date, where does this value in the csv file map? Is the ‘Last Inventory Date” field in the csv meant to map to the “Last Verification” field in the asset record? Finally, if I have a “OnOff” field in the asset record and want to add that field to the csv file import, what value to I provide in the csv? Are these yes/no or 0/1?  

Is there a way to convert a ticket that comes in from one of my agents to an iiQ corporate support ticket?  Example I as a district admin am unable to fix the issue my agent is reporting.  Instead of recreating the ticket can I assign the ticket to iiQ corporate support? 

I'm working on loading data into our SIS from Incident IQ to help track staff and student assigned assets (mostly student, but I figured I might as well grab staff ones while I'm at it), and am trying to figure out how to include the Assets data in my API response from IIQ. I've tried the "/api/v1.0/users" endpoint and also tried creating a view and using the "/api/v1.0/users/view/{view-id}" endpoint. The view includes Assets as a column. I can't seem to get it to return the assigned Assets for the users even though the documentation indicates it should be one of the returned items in the JSON response. I’m working with Python since it has a module for working with the API in our SIS.import requestsurl = "https://{iiq_domain}}/api/v1.0/users/view/{view_id}?$p=0&$s=10000"

If so, are you integrating it with Microsoft 365 (Outlook)? Our District is looking at adding the Events module to our iiQ. We want to know what your experience has been?  Vince

I have a question about requestor ticket replies.  We have a few vendors that will alert us of safety and security concerns from within our network.  What we see currently is that a vendor will email an alert to the help desk, creating a ticket.  An agent will reply to the ticket and according to our vendor they then reply back, but the vendors reply is never received.  I’ve determined this is due to the ticket unique reply-to email address that is created for each ticket.  We have confirmed with this vendor that SalesForce (their ticket system) does not recognize the reply-to field.  Is there a way to fix it this so that the replies are received and added to the ticket?

When creating a template, an asset and location (and even the issue) are required. Objective is to create a generic template for a particular issue. Then when wanting to submit bulk tickets for an allotment of devices using the template.Unfortunately, an asset has to be associated when creating the template. Then when using the template for the bulk allotment, in the description the associated asset is listed in each ticket. Eventhough the different assets are properly attached to the tickets. Causing you to have to open each ticket to correct/amend the asset in the description to match the asset attached to the ticket. Frustrating and counterproductive. 

Hello,Is there a way to hide parts that are no longer used, ie toner that is no longer used in active printers?  Also, if not, if the part is removed from the list, will the activity stay with the tickets that are linked to them or will that information also be deleted.

We are exploring the Vanco integration for fee management next school year. Our district currently uses RevTrak (which owns Vanco).Questions:Can parents/guardians pay fees directly in IIQ with this integration? Does the integration pull data directly from Vanco into IIQ? What's the differences between using Fee Tracker and the Vanco integration?If your district currently uses the Vanco integration, we'd appreciate your feedback on these questions!
