Does anyone have an idea what Form and Field to add an index to?
Just thinking that someone might be more intimate with the underlying forms and it would save me doing a log.

I personally prefer it to IE and Firefox too. I generally use it except during one version of the ARS where Chrome would not display table field column names. It does seem like it might be a indexing problem – it would if you have that many templates (many many thousands.. a few hundreds a templates a table scan would be more efficient..)

I have IE9 installed and the Mid Tier is extremely slow. I also have Chrome installed. However, I just tested this on another user’s PC with the same image but without installing Chrome, and the Mid Tier is just as slow. I don’t think Chrome is a factor either way, although I use it to interact with Remedy since it is a much faster browser (and the #1 browser used worldwide even though BMC pretends that it doesn’t exist so they don’t have to support it.) Also, I did a quick Google search to see if there is much out there on IE becoming slow as a result of Chrome and couldn’t find much other than a few people asking questions. As to the original question, the template functionality is extremely slow, but that’s because it does a lot of stuff behind the scenes. It also does a weird union back on itself when you select templates (at least in 7.6.4) where you can see the same template multiple times if two or more of your groups have access to the same template, which means it unnecessarily loads the data multiple times, slowing it down further. That being said, if the Mid Tier is tuned according to BMC’s whitepapers, it is an acceptable delay. I guess if you have too many templates you can add some indexes to the template form to see if that helps.

When you experience these delays with IE 9, are they users that have Chrome installed on their devices as well? I recently was told by a colleague when I bitched about IE 9 & 10 that if you use IE while using Chrome simultaneously, IE tends to crawl. I then noticed this to be true. If IE is used when Chrome is not, it tends to work ok but not when Chrome is used simultaneously – so I have begun to discard IE altogether and just use Chrome or FireFox because IE basically sucks anyways..

Hello, Has anyone seen this? "Service Desk agents experience delays when opening Templates in Remedy while using IE 9. When using Firefox, there are no delays. Because of Firefox quirkiness, Firefox is not always an option. These delays can be from 5 secs. to 45 secs., which can cause significant delays to the Service Desk agents performance. Templates are created to aid in speeding up the Service Desk agents work, but are not being utilized to the fullest extent because of the delays."
