DRP Documentation in Fresh Service

We are looking to leverage FreshService as a place to document our DRP processes for our organization. Short of just entering “walk-throughs” in the knowledgebase section, is anyone using the services section in relationship with the Assets section to document a DRP process. We’re looking for something a little more integrated than just a simple KB article for each application’s DRP process.

Support Portal security, preventing spam and impersonation

Hi, we already use whitelisting to prevent any email address logging tickets via the portal but how do others prevent impersonation either for malicious purposes (password resets) or from outsiders for the purposes of spamming the ticket queue? Any other thoughts on the area around securing the portal? Our primary concern is impersonation but also spam volumes.I’ve even seen a forum article in this community about solution articles feedback being used as a spam route in

Ticket fields - multi product error

Hi, I'm trying to hide the product field in the ticket form but when saving it an error message pops up:The multi_product feature(s) is/are not supported in your plan. Please upgrade your account to use it.The issue is that I'm not trying to use it, it is quite the opposite - want is hidden. Might be a bug? Anyone experienced something similar? Thanks

Can't view entire page 100% horizontally when adding / editing articles!

When I am adding an article and trying to lay it out/edit, I can only see about 70% of my page horizontally. About 30% of the right side is hidden. This makes editing EXTREMELY difficult! To see what’s off the page, I have to scroll to the page bottom, then use the horizontal scroller to move over to that side, then scroll back up and search for the text I was editing. And then, the left side of the page is hidden. It’s madness! I’m told by customer service that there is no existing workaround, and they recommended that I add a topic here to try to gain traction, then they will consider fixing it. This is not an issue in the build to create a canned response...so I am mystified as to why the article add / build can’t also show the full page you are working on. Help!!!

Asset Location from Used By Location

I appreciate that a lot of assets have a fixed location; however as a company primarily using laptops, we’d like a way to auto assign the location of the laptop based on the Used By users location. We can easily identify the what is a laptop as far as workflow is concerned but cant come up with the webhook that would read the users location_id and put it in the asset’s location_id. Any ideas appreciated. Many thanks in advance

display ticket field to certain companies

with the help of this thread I figured out how to hide an entire ticket field from all customer companies except customer 1. How do I go about only showing the ticket field for a few customers? like company 1 and company 6 Also this hides the drop down but does not hide the field label. Does anyone know how to remove the label as well? <script type="text/javascript">{% if portal.user.company_name <> "company 1")) %} document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() { jQuery('#helpdesk_ticket_custom_field_cf_affected_geo_3014498').remove(); }); {% endif %}</script>
