Assets

I have found a threat where I can schedule reports for Assets & Changes, although I would like to get reports for Tickets. Is that possible? Every month I would like a "Helpdesk Overview" per month, and also a "Customer Overview" per customer every month. Please advise on how I can achieve this. Thank you

Is there a way to automate a service request when a return date of an asset is met? we deal with temporary assets frequently and are looking to streamline the assert recovery process. when a return date of a specific asset is met we would like to automate a revoke request to begin the recovery process Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Hi, I am trying to use API to create a ticket, it is working fine without assets, but when I add an asset, it gives me an error message "We're sorry, but something went wrong. We've been notified about this issue and we 'll take a look at it shortly". The request : { "helpdesk_ticket" :{ "description" : "Some details on the issue ..." , "subject" : "Support needed.." , "email" : "hulk@outerspace.com" , "priority" : 1 , "status" : 2 , "source" : 2 , "ticket_type" : "Incident", "assoc_asset_id":12, }, "cc_emails" : "superman@marvel.com,avengers@marvel.com" } (I already have an asset with ID=12 ) Can you advise? Best, Waseem

Hello, We are trying freshservice but whenever we add/edit an asset and try to assign someone on the "Used by" field is never saved. Is there anything we need to do in order to save this field? Reference article: https://support.freshservice.com/support/solutions/articles/164415-assigning-assets-to-different-users-and-departments

Not sure if this also falls under a new feature, but I would classify it more as a problem report. Here's a description of my problem: I'm adding new computer assets (desktops specifically in this case) into the CMDB using the FreshService discovery agent. Some computers are either a little older or custom-built machines, so when they are imported, a particular product isn't listed (i.e. make/model) and the CI type selected is Computer. Computer properties and specs are imported correctly and the fields in the Computer section are filled out. So far, so good.. I want to go ahead and associate the asset with a specific product, so I go and create the product and give it a specific CI type of Desktop. I go back to the asset and assign it to the product. This all works great. However, I'd also like to update the CI type of the asset from Computer to Desktop, to be a little more specific. Assigning this asset to a product of the Desktop type, didn't update it for the asset. My real issue i

Hi With Fresh Service Agent installed is it possible for an automated ticket to be created when an assets free disk space falls below 10%? Thanks Paul

Hi. I have a similar situation to this discussion . So, I understand that for the agent to recreate the asset it is necessary to permanently delete it. It is not enough to send it to the trash. My question is ...... how a can permanently delete the assets?, I cant see the trash location.

Unable to get any help from Freshservice on this, maybe the community can help. I create a custom report for Assets to filter by Company (running in MSP mode). Realize some things are incorrect so I need to update them. Save and Regenerate report again and the chart still shows old data but the tabular data is accurate. A chat support person tried to tell me custom report data only gets updated every 4 hours and yet my tabular data is up to date to the minute. Makes no sense. Is there any way to clear out cache or similar to get chart to update? Report exhibits same incorrect data when exported to PDF as well. Unfortunately no way to hide the chart completely. Also, in order to make my report actually usable I need fields like Serial Number, Warranty Start/End date but can't figure out how to add them to the report. Has anyone figured this out? The "add column" drop down says you can add up to 30 columns but it only provides a total of 17 columns to add, how do we add the others? If I

I spent a bit of time entering SIM ID information on our managed hotspots which we track in with FS Asset Management. This morning I checked out one of the quick reports I setup and I noticed that every single number in this field, for each device was changed to this seemingly random number. This is 100% reproducible in our database. Add a number field to an asset and enter a SIM length number, for instance 89148000003477777742 upon updating/saving will be changed to 9223372036854775807. It happened on all ~40 records. How should I proceed? Thank you

I'm new to FreshService and I have a fwe questions about Asset Management: 1. Is it posible to change to change the fields that are shown in the Assets View? Now only the "standard" fields are visible. 2. Is it possible to add an external firm as "Managed by" in an asset? We have hardware that is managed by external firms, so it would be interesting that we could save this inormation with the asset. Now only an agent name can be chosen. Thanks, Tanja

We support multiple customers each with multiple sites. We are looking into using the Discovery probe to gain information about the assets for each, but it seems like I can only put one IP address range in. Is there a way to use the probe across multiple ranges? Thanks

Hi All, I want to get a list of assets for a specific asset type, I have tried the following but it seems it doesn't work, can u advise?https:// mydomain.freshservice.com/cmdb/items.json?ci_type_id=1 Thanks

when sorting by Used By on the assets screen there are 2 dieffernt issues 1. when sorting alphabetically by name and first names are the same the last name doesnt appear to be looked at to finish the sort ie these do not appear in complete alphabettical order John Litrio John Jiang John Stevens John Neil Hester 2. if filtering via the search box and then sorting Used By you are sorting by first and last name so result look like this Demetrius Adger *** Aileen Smith Alan Rubilar Theodros Alemayehu *** Alynne Landers those marked with *** are sorted by last name not first name

We are looking into FreshService for helpdesk and also asset management. If we were to import our assets into FreshService but not use the agent or discovery probe would these still be considered "Managed Assets" and subject to being charged for them. The KB article I found isn't clear what happens if you don't use the discovery probe or agent and import your assets manually. We have internal software for managing our assets already but would like to import this information into FreshService on a regular basis. I understand we could negotiate a lower cost for managed assets but I don't like having to pay a fee per month for each asset in teh database.

My question is very straightforward: I'd like to know if anyone's using the FS CMDB to manage assets. If so, in any significant number of assets? I need about 2500 assets. That's $600/month or $7200/year.For less than $7200, I could buy a nice unlimited user license of a dedicated inventory tracking system like WASP Barcode Management. Ongoing service and licensing is a few hundred a year; under $500. So, given that information, is anyone using FreshService's CMDB to track assets, and what was the value add for you? Thanks much!

Has anyone been able to utilize the API to update the asset tag, warranty, acquisition date, warranty expiry date, and cost of computer CIs? If so, can you please share how you formatted the request? I have put in a ticket to support last week but they are apparently still investigating. Thanks! Scott

Hi everybody, I have a misterious problem with the feature of assets discovery. My network is composed by 50 windows machines (pc and nb); Three of this machines have installed the agent (for my test). Inside one of these three machines there is the Freshservice Probe. The probe collects inside its interface only the name of the machines (or IP) inside my network and responds with many error messages (like "unable to scan the device", "permission denied: DCOM" etc.) In the log I see many informations like bios version, processor, hd space, manufacturer and many other, but nothing of this informations appears in the probe. My CMDB is always empty. What's wrong?

This feature does not appear to be available in the new version. I checked and there are no updates for the Frreshservice app. The store shows the app as version 1.0.3 and with an updated date of Feb 17,2015. I am using an iPhone 5c.
