We are exploring the Google Calendar integration with iiQ Events and were wondering if there’s a way to only allow certain event types to export to the Google Calendar? We would like to use it as a public facing calendar so we don’t want internal events like conference room meetings and IEPs to appear on it. Also is there a way to link to multiple Google Calendars so we can separate our events based on building? a full district calendar can get crowded.

Is it possible to have a location’s room numbers as possible storage locations? We don’t have a warehouse or designated storage locations except for some closets, shelves, and cabinets. I’d like to be able to select a specific room for the storage location rather than typing in a blank field. 

Not having a timeline for users the way assets do is a pain, as the revisions lists every sync with SIS and you have to scroll forever to find things like a device assignment. Is there a way to filter the results? 

I have a few Powershell scripts that are generating data that is useful for some teams. I’d like to add files, mainly csv, to tickets during ticket creation using the New Ticket API. I’ve got ticket creating sorted with no issues but I’m having trouble finding good info on creating the file through the File API, and then adding it to a new ticket. Has anyone found something that worked?

Afternoon!I am looking into creating a rule that only fires when the Subticket has been resolved, in which the Parent Ticket goes back into “In Progress” status.  Right now, the rule on creation places a Tag on the parent ticket called “Waiting for Department Escalation” and changes the status to “Waiting for Department Escalation.”  When the department closes the subticket, I’d like the Parent ticket to go back into “In Progress” automatically.   I’ve tried comments, resolution actions, and everything in between to create a rule on update.The problem is that the closing of the Subticket is slow, and the Parent ticket updates too quickly so it doesn’t catch the next Rule.  Also, ignore the Issue Types: TEST TICKET That’s my sandbox so it doesn’t happen anywhere else except with test tickets. Help!

I am wanting to know if anyone knows how to create a filter to view users that have had multiple tickets.  The issue is, we want to see students who have had multiple devices checked out to them or tickets to keep track of students who are mistreating chromebooks.  We create a ticket for repair when a chromebook goes out, it would be nice to see what students have had multiple asset changes/tickets.

I’m trying to set up and manually fill in some custom fields for our software assets. Every time I go to edit an asset the form sets the ‘owner’ field as required, forcing me to select an owner, make my changes and save the asset, then go unsassign the owner from the asset view’s list. Is it possible to make the owner field not required in the first place? 

How can we track untagged assets?We have some low cost items, tools and accessories, that don’t warrant tagging, but we would still like to track that they were issued to someone.Example: Our techs are issued various tools needed for their job: screwdriver, bits, crimpers, etc.. These individual pieces are impossible to track precisely, but we still want to make sure, 1. that the techs have the items they need, and 2. that they return, or report as lost, something that at least resembles what was issued.We have thought about Parts, but that doesn’t look like it will work because, 1. parts attach to Tickets, not Users or Assets, and 2. we would need to manually add the parts back into inventory upon return, which is extra Permission delegation.

I’m am starting to think I’ve been using this feature incorrectly and would appreciate some input.   When a ticket is created, say a chromebook has a broken screen, my typical process is to open the ticket, and click the “Exchange” button to the right near the affected asset.   A window pops up,  I scan the barcode of the new chromebook and update the status of the broken one to “broken”.   Thus completing the exchange for the student.   The ticket updates with the exchange as the performed action and I can resolve/close the ticket.    The issue that I am now realizing is that the ticket for the broken screen is not attached/linked to the chromebook that is actually broken.  Its attached to the history of the new device - which is obviously not broken.    Being able to view the ticket history of any device is a huge advantage.   It seems as though any report I run for the end of the year will be wrong and this entire year’s worth of device tickets are

Sort of a silly question. Is there a way to unmark a ticket as urgent?

Hello All, I am hoping to get some help with a ticket approval process.  Currently i am using the enhanced approval workflow to generate an email to the end user to see the changes they requested on a website.  But the user has to copy and paste in the site and is causing some issues.  Does anyone know of a different solution?if not can you all help me out and get my Idea some upvotes? thanksErik 

Is there a way to see what issue is assigned to a ticket after customizing the subject?I know that the subject defaults to the current issue, but we try to customize our subjects for tickets relating to projects, shipments, etc (mainly our more vague issues). Is there a way/place to show the current issue besides the subject line? I know you can hit that pencil icon and look for the old subject in the timeline, but I was hoping for something a bit more user friendly for our agents!This has mainly come up in the context of agents confirming the issue of the ticket they’ve been assigned. “How do they know if the issue is correct if they can’t see it anywhere?”

We have set up a rule in Events that will put an event request into a separate approvals process if the organization has been marked as Restricted or Pending Approval. This would happen, for example, if an organization’s insurance had expired since the initial sign up, and then they attempted to put in another event request with expired insurance. As part of our rule, we have created a specific email notification that goes out to the Organization Approvals Team who is notified that they need to review the submitted insurance and/or request new insurance.However, it seems that even though we have the rule set to stop processing rules, the next step approval team (a building based team) is also being notified via email. The email looks like a default message from the IIQ system titled an “Event Request Summary.” Attached is a screenshot of the email. Is there any way to turn this notification off? We do not want our building base approvals team

I am trying to recreate the metrics on the analytics dashboard, specifically the “Response Time Average for all ticket statuses”I have created a custom ticket view - but when I export the data and calculate the average it does NOT match the average response time when I am on the same custom view, and click analytics.Has anyone else had this issue?  What does specifically the “all ticket statuses” mean? Thanks!Jenn

Looking to build a rule that deprovisions a chromebook and moves locations if status changed to Retired (or a custom status). Or deprovisions a chromebook is moved to a specific location and status updates to Retired. Possible?

I’ve created a rule based on the following filtersIt should fire when the Asset Status filed is changed. Does the Statuses filter apply to what the Status equaled prior to the change or after the change?

This is new this morning, when importing assets (using a CSV), there is now a “Define an import schedule” step.1000000% this requires a “RUN NOW” option, or let us pick the exact minute!Importing assets already takes a long time with so many steps and wait time as it processes its steps.EDIT: I selected a time before my current time and it looks like the import is going.OR is this a bug with the new Scheduled Import SFTP option that dropped yesterday?I’m in the Manual Import and still get that “Define an import schedule” step  

We have a couple of long term substitutes in our district. I would love for them to be able to use the My Classes option to submit a ticket in iiQ. However, they show that they have no students. These teachers are added to the SIS as substitutes. One was a co-teacher with one of our regular teachers, but is full time now that, that teacher has gone on leave. How can I allow them to use My Classes?

We are familiar with and have been using custom fields for the InTune WiFi MAC addresses for some time now.  We are able to easily report on this information.  We are now wanting to report on the ethernet MAC addresses for desktop computers, and can’t see to find a relevant option in the InTune available fields in the integration app.  For example, both JAMF and Google Device apps have both ethernet and wifi MAC address information available.  Any ideas?  Does this feature just not exist? 

Under ‘Administration > Ticket Statuses’, when I create a new Status, there are options to select Workflow and Workflow Stage. How do I edit the Workflow and Stages of the Workflow? The only workflow in the list is ‘Technology - Default Workflow’, and it’s a searchable list… so I’m assuming more can be added.

In our setup, we email the invoices we create to the student’s building secretary, and they handle reaching out to the family. When selecting the email invoice option, there is only a text box to type in what email addresses to send it to. This leaves opportunity for typos and then it doesn’t get to the intended recipient. It would be awesome if there was a drop down selection option. This could be something you set up within the Fee Tracker settings (something like commonly used recipients) or even a drop down containing all staff members to search out of.

For some reason IIQ is absolutely butchering the image uploaded to a model. I’ve tried a variety of dimensions and cropping them differently, but the image preview keeps coming out nearly unrecognizable (see example below with Securly Classroom/Filter). Is there any officially recommended image format or dimensions to stop this from happening? 

I’m getting emails from multiple users at our site that they are unable to login using Google SSO, but when I check their profiles in IIQ it shows that their accounts are all “authenticated by GoogleSSO provider”Unsure how to resolve this issue. Should I delete the faulty profiles and re-sync? The profiles were all imported in the same way, so why are only certain users reporting issues?

I have a custom status of “Waiting on Student Pickup” that triggers a 30-day rule that will change the status to: “Needs to be Disabled” if it’s not picked up.At the moment, if an update is made to the ticket, the status automatically changes to “In Progress” and essentially starts the clock all over again because we have to manually change it back to “Waiting on Student Pickup”I want to create a rule to not change the status if updated when a ticket’s current status is “Waiting on Student Pickup” but that is not an option; or at least I can’t find it.

For some reason the delete option isn’t available on my previously saved views making it impossible for me to delete them. Any idea on how I can resolve this issue. Below is a screenshot of what one of the views look like. Normally you will see the “delete view” option in the lower left corner of the view designer. Please help me….
