I have many times been successful doing bulk import on assets to change owners; however, recently we decided to create “owners” for rooms so we could check out to rooms instead of placing them in a room in the location field option to better be able to see what is in a particular room.  I was advised to use Guest role for these accounts, but when I try to bulk import, these guest roles accounts cannot be matched and do not show up when manually matching.  I was able to get around it by changing roll to Staff, uploading and then changing owner role back to guest, but that is less than ideal.  No problem finding guest owners individually to check out...just in bulk. 

Hello,We started using IncidentIQ in August.  I am just now working on linking Chromebooks to Carts.   I have gone through and created a number of carts and linked Chromebooks to 3 of them.   Before I go further, I want to start testing some features to make sure I am doing this correctly before fully implementing.Does anyone know how I create a filter to select all of the chromebooks that are linked to the cart asset.  I can find how to select the cart easy enough, but don’t know how to select all of the devices linked to that cart.Ideally, I would like to create a Google orgUnitPath Translation Map so that any devices linked to a cart are automatically moved to an OU for that cart. Thanks,Pat

As the Admin, I need to periodically create a report for a specific Agent which includes all the data about a ticket including including the “comments” thread. I can find every filter to include in the view to get ready for export but NOT “comments”. Help please.

For our district, we have the Google Devices integration with IIQ set up. We have filters set up so that IIQ writes the device’s OU back to Google Admin based on the location set up in IIQ. After we set this up, we found we had a problem - our school nurses have a small set of Chromebooks in their office that need to be kept in a special OU in Google Admin so they receive a custom configuration. With the way things were set up, these Chromebooks were being moved into OUs based on their location and thus lost their configurations.I attempted to correct this issue by creating additional filters so that we could map those specific assets back to the nurse’s office OUs. This has worked very well so far, but two Chromebooks in particular keep slipping out of the OU I want them in and going back to the OU based on their location.Here’s a screenshot of the sync history for one of these two Chromebooks. Over the past month I’ve repeatedly attempted to manually correct the OU in Google Admin, o

Is there a way to add a note to multiple assets at one time?  For example, I had some assets stolen during a break-in and would like to put in the notes the reason they are marked stolen.  I can go into each asset and type a note, but it would be much faster if I could put it in for multiple assets at one time.

Is there a way to create a custom rule to send asset details along with the description of a ticket to a specified user\email?Example:When we need to order toner from our vendor they require the asset number, serial, model, manufacturer, along with what is needed. Currently we utilize a google form to accomplish this. I would like to utilize IIQ so that we can have better visibility. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

How do you work with Asset Models that we don’t have Serial Number or barcode?   Can you?The need is we have Audio Equipment in classrooms, and we did not want to inventory the Serial Number and we did not put Asset Tags on them.   I would still like to know which rooms have the Audio Equipment by location and allow a teacher to submit a ticket with an issue related to their Audio device.   For example, “my audio enhancement in Room 12 at School is making a hissing noise”   I want to track that it was an equipment problem, but don’t need to know the serial number or asset tag.   does that make sense?  or should we go around and collect the serial number and put asset tags on every device?Thanks,-Nathaniel 

As a people manager, I’m try to find ways to support and provide targeted feedback to me team. Is there a way to filter tickets, create rules, or fire surveys based on the criteria of ‘X’ user or agent is a follower? I know I can create a filter for these things where I am a follower, but I’m falling short in finding a solution for these other scenarios.

I was wondering what filters you use to view all fees collected through fee tracker and no other souce but manually entered. Thank you 

After searching for/selecting someone in Users Explorer, it displays any assets assigned to them in the card- or button-type of display (circled below). The asset type, location (including room) and asset SN is displayed. But, is there any setting that can be adjusted to add location details to this asset card/button?Reason for my question...a teacher is assigned as the primary user to a lab of about 20 desktop units, so all those units display as assets in her users’ view to help her “quickly” find an asset to submit a ticket for...except it’s not that easy because she has to know the SN of the desktop.In her classroom, she has each station labeled 1-20, so those desktop positions are recorded along with the appropriate SN they’re assigned to within the IIQ asset info (specifically, the empty box underneath “room”). If location details could be displayed on the asset card, then choosing which desktop to submit a ticket for becomes much easier for her.On a similar, but different note,

We see you now have https://www.incidentiq.com/apps/lockncharge LocknCharge management mintegrated.   We have AnywhereCart lockers in our district https://www.anywherecart.com/products/ac-locker-24-rfid/ Is there any. thoughts on adding this to the IIQ system?

Is there a way to export the locations with room numbers. We currently are adding room numbers from our SIS.  However this is only bringing in classrooms. We would like to also input non-classroom room numbers but don’t want to duplicate them.  

Hi I’m having a problem updating a few Custom Fields I created for my users. I’m using the Import template spreadsheet provided by iiQ. I am matching the iiQ users up with their ID number and omitting the first name and last name, email, usernames fields. But I’m getting this error “listed below”. I didn’t think that I need to include the users: emails, names, and usernames when updating to a Custom Field and matching just the ID numbers?Any help you can provide would be appreciated Ps: Is there a way to copy error information to the clipboard because I see that I might have not gotten all of it. hence the … at the end of the error code :: Error executing Sql because 'Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'FirstName', table 'iiq-prod-sqldb.dbo.Users'; column does not allow nulls.

The list of issues for can sometimes be difficult for a novice to navigate.Does iiQ or any partners have an interactive decision tree entry point for tickets/issues?  Something that is a bit more intuitive.

Is it possible to grant access to the analytics explorer with someone having the admin role? I would like certain agents to be able to access the data but only that area. Not any other areas of admin.

We’re looking into having the system automatically send an email to the submitter when they create a ticket. This would serve as a confirmation that their ticket was submitted successfully and could include some additional generic info for follow up. I see that there is an option to enable a notification to the owner when a ticket is created but that seems to only send it to the owner if they weren’t the one who created the email (it was submitted on their behalf). Is there a way to send an automatic acknowledgement email when a ticket is created?

Hello,I was wondering if there were any apps or processes for documentation management?  I know there is the Knowledge Base and that is good for basic information and procedures.  However I am looking for something more robust that offers document process approval, versioning, metadata, CSI, among others.  Do you have any options that offer any type of management, suggestions, or is that in the works? Thanks!Mike

I am looking to generate user reports based on how many times they borrow loaner devices. Anybody know of a solution for this?

I’m importing new assets, and IQ thinks my new assets are duplicates on the import process. I check the tags and serials in my search, and they are not found in my database. How do I fix this?

I am trying to see if it’s possible to make certain assets visible to a select group of users. I have a department that wants to add equipment to IIQ( which I can do) , but I need to make it only visible to that departments users. I first thought maybe create a team for that department but I can't find anything that would suggest we can narrow those assets down to be visible by only that team. Alternatively, I thought maybe make a certain user group ( ie: agent, guest, etc) and go from that angle? Or is it possible to make certain asset groups only be seen by certain users, maybe edit each users permission in that department to see that equipment. Thanks in advance! 

How can I create a report of the top users that have had tickets created for them or by them?

I would like to be able to send a Knowledge base article to a ticket submitter.   What is the best way to do that? 

Can we just instead default all resolution actions to a text box that agents can fill in with text snippets maybe? Trying to figure out how to make the resolution process go faster and having to click through actions is taking way too long.

I want to just have a box that has some details in it. Nothing the user can edit, just an FYI of sorts. It would be visible on the final step of the ticket creation process. Thanks.

I am looking for a way to pull the disk space usage from the System activity and troubleshooting  section in Google Admin. It would be nice to track how much of your disk space is being used on any given Chromebook. We are constantly having to clear profiles from these devices. Does anyone know of a way to use IIQ’s Google Devices App to pull this info from Google Admin?Thanks.
