Appearance

This drop-down list determines how many rows appear in a list page, such as the Asset list.

If checked, the header row in lists allows for multiple lines of text in the case of a long header, making for a narrower column. If unchecked, headers appear one row only, no matter how long they are.

You can choose the maximum number of items that appear in a drop-down list. When more items than the maximum appear in a list, there a more... option in the list that opens a more comprehensive list in a pop up window. The number of items must be between 5 and 100.

You can choose the maximum number of items that appear in the advanced drop-down lists appear that appear in SysAid. When more items than the maximum are added, you see an option to open an advanced search in a separate pop up window. The number of items must be between 10 and 200.

Controls the maximum number of assets you displayed on the Asset Groups page under Asset Management.

2. Click the link to download the source HTML files. The HTML files come in a .zip archive.
3. Extract the source HTML files and edit them to meet your needs.
4. If you've uploaded customized HTML files in the past, add the newly modified HTML files to the .zip archive you downloaded in Step 1. If this is your first time uploading HTML files, save the files to a new .zip archive.
5. Return to SysAid and click Select on the line with HTML Files Location. This opens the Upload HTML Files screen.
6. Click Choose file and select the .zip file with your customized HTML.

7. Click Upload. This uploads the HTML files and closes the Upload HTML Files screen.
8. Click Save.
9. Click Reload Templates to apply your changes.

SysAid allows you to choose the sound that plays whenever a new chat is initiated and whenever an end user replies in an existing chat. Click Select to upload an appropriate sound file in .swf format. Alternatively, you may uncheck the boxes and SysAid does not play any sound. Make sure to click Save after making changes.

If this is unchecked, the news items is not displayed in the Announcements list on the administrator side of SysAid and the news box on the End-User Portal is hidden.

Check this box if you would like administrators and end users to be able to switch to the list view for Knowledge Base/FAQ articles. (This view was the default view in SysAid version 8.5.)

This setting allows you to choose how usernames are displayed anywhere they appear in SysAid. The available options are:Username only, First and last name, Login name - first and last name, Last and first name, Login name - last and first name, Display name, Login name (domain\username), First and last name – email address, Email address - first and last name, First and Last name - userid (no domain), and Last and First name - userid (no domain).

Note : Display Name is configured per user from User Management. When you have the User/Administrator form open, you need to add the Display Name field to the form by clicking (for more information see Customize Forms). Display Name can also be imported from LDAP . If user name display method is set to Display Name, but the Display Name field is blank for a particular user, User Name is used instead.

This affects the behavior of all the Notes fields that contain the Add a note button throughout SysAid. (Custom notes fields are not affected.)

The location of text added to a notes field
When adding notes using the Add a note button, you can choose whether to have the notes added at the beginning or at the end of the notes field.

Allow notes to be added only by using the "Add a Note" button
If this is enabled, the Notes field is read only. This means that a) the only way to add a note is by clicking Add a note and that b) notes may not be deleted once they've been added.

If this is checked, anytime the "<" is entered into a text field in SysAid that is not supposed to contain scripts, SysAid automatically changes the character to prevent scripts from accessing the database.

By default, the "<" character is changed to a curly bracket "{ " but you can change this setting in text properties.

Determine if the End-User Portal's navigation arrows are aligned to the right or the left of the screen.

Click Save to keep your new preferences. Click Return to Default to restore all options on this page to the SysAid defaults.here
