Why is my Parent Ticket showing as an Incident?

Hi,I have been using the Onboarding module for a while now and to get a picture of how things look, I have also created a report.When I pull the report, all the child tickets are listed down the left (SR-xxxxx) and they all refer to their Parent ticket. So far so good, BUT the parent ticket always starts with INC-xxxxx, If you go into the Parent Ticket, it shows as SR-xxxxx Any ideas what is happening here?

signifigant lag in running scenarios

Has anyone noticed a significant lag in deploying scenarios on a ticket, like literally 10 minutes? It doesn’t happen constantly, but frequently enough to make an impact in my helpdesk’s productivity.Yes, I have checked the computers experiencing this, and verified the internet speed… everything is fine, and all other cloud apps are running smoothly.

Different Support Portal, solutions and Fields - is possible?

Hello, Is it possible to create different support portals depending on the organization? Each organization requires different tickets, solutions and fields. Mixing everything together will be a nuisance for users, especially since each organization uses a different language.That is why we would like the support portal to have a different look for each organization.

Update Inventory with Cost

We have a few thousand assets in Inventory.  I would like to update the cost of some of the assets.  I have a CSV with the Serial Number and Associated Cost.  What is the best way to import the cost to the serial numbers in the list.Not all Serial Numbers are currently in FS, because this list is from Dell and it contains everything purchased in the past 3 years.

Re-open problem when new incident is attached?

We use problems to track larger issues, however, sometimes a problem is closed and the issue re-occurs. We would prefer that the agents just be able to associate the new incident to the problem and have the problem automatically change to the “open” status. I don’t see any automations that would help with this, but was wondering if any of you have solved this problem in your environments. Thanks,Greg

Asset Report Bugs

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

Choosing an ITSM Consultant

It doesn’t matter whether you need a plumber or an ITSM consultant, it can be difficult to select “the right one” from all the potential options. I like Stuart Rance’s simple advice for this - “The best way to select an ITSM consultant is by word of mouth. Talk to people you know and find a consultant that has done good work for other organizations.”Have you used this approach? Or, just as importantly, have you used a consultant/consultancy firm that failed to deliver what you needed?Either way, it would be great to share some related experiences and advice among the Community - please add your experiences and comments as a response.

Company Specific Activation Emails

When using Freshservice in MSP mode, it appears that the activation emails are inconsistently branded.  The activation URL seems to have been set appropriately for the user, but the email address sending the notice was not the appropriate one, and the ticket.department tag seems not to fill at all.

Dispatch'r Question re; Company Name in Condition

Hi, When using Dispatch'r rules. Under Condition. If I select Company Name I have to type in a value. Does this value represent the names of the companies I have entered under Admin / Companies ? If so does this mean that any ticket being opened by a requestor that is listed against that company will met the condition? Thanks.

Random ADFS SAML Issues

 Over the past few weeks we have had random SAML single-sign on issues. All of a sudden users will be redirected to the xxxx.freshservice.com/login/normal screen instead of their portal. In order to login they need to use their FreshService credentials instead of their AD credentials. We are not seeing anything in our logs and the problem will resolve itself shortly after the problem appears.Has anyone else been having issues?
