This was one of the things I had noted as a discrepancy between the MT client and SmartIT. I am almost positive you cannot customize this with the currently available tools for customization of SmartIT available to us as end users.

On the subject of Smart IT, by any chance would anyone know how I could customize Smart IT to have the ability to apply an Incident Template after an incident has been created. In the midtier you can do this easily out of the box. Smart It only allows templates at the time of Incident creation. _____ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) <arslist@ARSLIST.ORG> on behalf of Joe D'Souza <jdso...@shyle.net> Sent: Wednesday, August 9, 2017 12:46 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Smart IT Assigned Person ** Mark, Been doing OK, thanks for asking! Hope you are well too.. How is that whole auto load of foundation data working out for you guys? Regarding your current problem, I have not really tried it but I would go with using an overlay on the existing menu instead of replacing it and see how that pans out. I’ll be honest that when I saw how useful Smart and My IT were in its current state, when you compare these tools with the Mid-Tier, there were too many functionalities that I found were not consistent between the two as well as between them and the Mid-Tier.. I had compiled a list of these that I no longer have with me in person but I do remember some of them especially the key bullet points around the Work Log field, the Status field, etc. (((If interested in the list of inconsistencies I found, write to me offline, and I’ll share them as and when I recall the bullet points I made in that list I no longer have with me..))) As a result, since I was not assigned the work of looking for possible solutions for the inconsistencies I had found, I won’t be able to confirm or deny if overlaying the existing menu will help. Gut feelings say it may not as Smart and My IT has its own set of instructions that brings them to life, which do not depend on any Mid-Tier client side instructions. Hence there is a fat chance that remodeling the menu with even an overlay may not work, unless Smart and My IT instructions rely on the overlay meta data for that Menu, Like some of the others, I have not heard anything about Innovation Studio and its capability to modify Smart and My IT instructions. So can’t comment on that..

Using the backend processing of assignment engine is prob a better way to go Sent from my iPhone On Aug 9, 2017, at 10:28 AM, Pierson, Shawn <shawn.pier...@energytransfer.com> wrote: ** Was Innovation Studio ever released? Also, you can customize Smart IT with JavaScript but that only works for the web client and not the mobile clients. That being said, it’s not supported and will disappear whenever you upgrade. If I were given the requirement that Mark has, I’d probably try to rely mostly on the Assignment Engine in some way even though it wouldn’t recreate the functionality in the UI.

We've been using filters and creative wording in error messages to enforce some processes but thankfully we were not heavily customized to begin with.

So given a choice to make that decision myself, I would continue to have my users use the Mid-Tier and not really pay much heed to either Smart or My IT until there is a more stable release of these two tools.. Having said that, are you trying to modify an out of the box menu? Or are you trying to replace one?

These were joined the login id and the key field I was after was Site. Based on the join form I created a custom menu based on the Site in the Incident and the join form. Finally I had an active link to do a change menu if the Incident Type was Infrastructure Event. Of course in Smart IT you no longer have active links. I can write a custom menu that would not require an active link but I don’t know of a way to populate it into Smart IT. Any ideas? I did get something from BMC about dynamic menus but it didn’t seem to really get me there.
