How do I....?

Transitioning to Freshservice, and we are trying to figure out a way to import KB articles in a batch.  Is there any tool within Freshservice to do this?

Hi Am pulling in departments using below query:let     url=FreshServiceURL,     Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents(url & "/itil/departments.json")),     #"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(Source, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null),     #"Expanded Column1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Converted to Table", "Column1", {"created_at", "head_id", "id", "name", "prime_user_id", "head_name", "prime_user_name"}, {"department.created_at", "department.head_id", "department.id", "department.name", "department.prime_user_id", "department.head_name", "department.prime_user_name"}),     #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Expanded Column1", each true) in     #"Filtered Rows"I am only getting 10 records through (the first page of departments in Freshservice) where as I have 14 total. Any ideas where I am going wrong? 

Hello,Does anyone know if there is any way to view a current bulk import of requesters, stop a current import, or start a new import? This feature appears to be available via the freshdesk API (https://developers.freshdesk.com/api/#import_contact) but not for the freshservice API (https://api.freshservice.com/v2/#requesters)?This would be very useful since I started a bulk import of requeters over two days ago and it appears to be stuck. The web interface will not allow me to start a new import because it thinks the current one is still running.

I was wondering if it was possible to create an automation that reads data from entry fields in the parent ticket such as Employee Name or Contact Number, and puts it as a note in the child ticket. Any help is appreciated.

I’m working on an offboarding process in FreshService and would like to convert a mailbox to shared.   We are a hybrid environment so I’m thinking that would need to be done in Exchange Online using Powershell somehow.  Has anyone figured out how to do this?   Thanks

This Community post question by @Jeannie_Walters contains something that I think most IT teams are still to address:This is what experience means within your organization, and specifically to IT.There are many definitions of employee experience out there but it’s hard to find one that stands out as a “winner.” In some ways this is good - if it means that people might think long and hard about what experience means to their organization. However, if this isn’t happening it likely means that IT strategies are being formed around things that aren’t understood (at least consistently).So, do you have an employee experience definition within your organization that could inspire others to create their own? If so, please share it as a response. Or call out some of the EX management issues your organization is facing to see if we can help. Thanks :)  

Is it possible to write an expression with nested IF?I want to extract a case number from the subject, but the sender sends emails with three different subjects.My thought was to write a function that checks if the beginning of the subject is XXX, then it should extract in a way. If the subject starts with YYY instead, it must extract in a different way. And if the topic starts with ZZZ, it should extract in a third way.Something like this:if(startsWith('{{ticket.subject}}','XXX'), substring('{{ticket.subject}}', indexOf('{{ticket.subject}}','XXX',0)+length('XXX '), indexOf('{{ticket.subject}}',',',indexOf('{{ticket.subject}}','XXX',0) ) ), if(startsWith('{{ticket.subject}}','YYY'), substring('{{ticket.subject}}', indexOf('{{ticket.subject}}','YYY',0)+length('YYY '), indexOf('{{ticket.subject}}',';',indexOf('{{ticket.subject}}','YYY',0) ) ), substring('{{ticket.subject}}', indexOf('{{ticket.subject}}','ZZZ',0)+length('ZZZ '), indexOf('{{ticket.subject}}',':',i

I have a director over maintenance who is trying to do a Report of Department at a Glance, but for a specific date range. I do not use this function, but he is telling me, that it he was able to set a specific date range previously, but he is unable to do so now. I have tried looking at it, for my department, but I have not been able to change any dates for those reports either. 

Dear all,Could be possible to do not consider a new ticket (created by email) as an incident automatically ?If yes, could be possible to make categorization ("incident" or "request") mandatory before set the ticket as resolved ?Many thanks in advance for your kind help!Best regards,Mickael.

I want a report, on who is having a dual asset. I am using Freshservice growth plan. 

Does anyone have a good way that they have added Requester Location to be a filterable option until Freshservice implements this for us? We use SCIM Provisioning with Okta to pull the Requester data into Freshservice.We have a global company and right now, our teams are looking at each and every ticket to see what geographical location it’s in. I suggested separate agent groups but they didn’t like that idea. Anyone have any other options they have implemented? Tags? Something else? Thank you!

I’m trying to find a way to create custom fields in the location object.  We support a lot of locations, and the only solution we’ve found to track what systems are running at each location is using a 3rd party CRM as the FreshService tool doesn’t seem to allow this.  Is there a way to create custom fields in the location object, or is this on the roadmap anywhere?

Hi all,I’ve tried, but I can’t seem to find a solution. Is it possible to do change have the incident state behaves?Eg.:I have an incident, that first was put into “Pending Requester” State is “-” The Requester responded, and the state is changed to “Requester Responded”. That respond have I forwarded to an intern mail in our Finance department, but could also be to an external or any other e-mail. Then I set the status to “Pending Internal” The State is still “Requester Responded” and that’s the reason why I’m writing here:Can I somehow put that into state “-” like the ones where status is “Pending Requester”? Hope someone can help with this :)/Henrik  

HelloI will need to integrate Freshservice with Servicenow through Unifi (sharelogic.com)Does anyone here have any experience setting it up?How did you make it?Is there any APP ready to install in the APPStore?

I edit a number of tickets as part of production support. Each time, it produces a pop-up notification in the top right corner of the screen that never auto-dismisses. I’m forced to click the [X] button for each one. How do I stop this madness?  

Hi,Is it possible to send a link and a small preview of new solution article and when a solution is updates on a specific Microsoft Teams channel instead of me sending a link each time to my colleague?If anyone know how, let me know.   Thank you so much and have a nice day.**Sorry for my english, I’m french, I do my best**

Hi, We used to have a report to look at time spent per ticket /day.I cant find it anymore under reports?Can Anyone help? Thanks

Hi there,       I am new to freshservice and would like to create a report which would shows the current ticket status with category, status and agent name.  However, the first thing that I noticed is the “Group by” only allows 2 fields max and I couldn’t find agent name under Ticket matrix.  Please advise. Cowby

We use problems pretty extensively for both outages and long running issues that we get tickets about and want better coordination of resolution. However, sometimes staff doesn’t find an existing problem which causes us to have two problems that are the same. Ideally we would have the ability to merge two problems and transfer all the associated tickets from one to the other, similar to merging tickets. How do you handle duplicate problems? 

“64% of employees claim that the way they interact with technology directly impacts morale.”It’s another reason why employee experience has to be the “new frontier” for IT support.What’s your organization doing to ensure that employee experience is optimized? Note - It’s from a Freshworks’ competitor report but that shouldn’t stop people looking at the insights: https://rs.ivanti.com/reports/ivi-2700-2022-dex-report.pdf (and this direct link seems to bypass the need to register for it)

While it’s 2021 rather than 2022 data, a recent piece of analysis I undertook showed that small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) are just as likely to be succeeding with ESM strategies as large enterprises.It was an unexpected insight from the survey data that potentially shows the growing probability of SMEs being among the earlier adopters of ITSM trends.If you work in an SME does this match your views on the potential of ESM to improve operations and outcomes? Or, if you work in a mid-market organization, what’s holding your adoption back? The state of ESM adoption No, and there are no plans to No, but we’re planning to Yes, but we’re still in the early stages Yes, and we’re well advanced with it SMEs 27% 23% 29% 21% Mid-market organizations 35% 35% 27% 4% Enterprise organizations 19% 17% 44% 21%

Hey all! Trying to set up a automation with Gsuite. Everything works but in testing when the user account is created we are not getting any email generated from Google. Not sure if this is a google issue or if we are missing a field in the API to send these emails. Does anyone know if there is a setting in the orch to enable this? 

When attempting to access the FreshService Dashboard, the site automatically re-directs me to an alternate version. The alternate version has Announcements, Your Tickets, Pending Approvals, Report an Incident, Request New Service, and Browse Solutions listed on the screen.The site is redirects me to is: companyname.freshservice.com/support/home This happens in Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox.  It did not happen previously in, I believe Mozilla Firefox, but I don’t remember which. I want to go to companyname.freshservice.com This version has My Dashboard, Overdue Tickets, Tickets Due Today, Open Tickets, Tickets On Hold, Unassigned Tickets, and Tickets I’m Watching.  There are two charts on it among other options. Troubleshooting steps I have tried, clearing history, restarting, (I can’t add to Trusted Sites due to Group Policy), and alternate browsers. My boss is able to access the site without issue on his computer. I suspect it is an update or something linked to m
