Re: Question about incident scripts
When I say users, I mean remedy users. That's the support staff. Currently to start an initiator script they click on the menu, and the sript selector opens. They can select an script and edit the text. But they can't see the attachments.

Re: Question about incident scripts
Jose, This won't solve your dilemma with the initiator script but I've noticed a trend of users moving away from this functionality and going more towards using a KMS whether it be RKM or some other knowledge management tool. The attachment and even the script you're talking about is really just a knowledge artifact and should be tracked as such. When you maintain it in the initiator script area, it just adds another layer of administration overhead for whoever is managing the knowledge base. Again, sorry this doesn't answer your question but it's an alternative.

Re: Question about incident scripts
My intention is to add some kind of technical instruction to the script. Thus the service desk staff can follow it before escalating the incident to second layer. Don't know if it's the best option, but it's the one i'm exploring right now. Thanks again!

Re: Question about incident scripts
Jose, The best way to provide technical instructions to service desk is through RKM. If you have a well managed Product and operational categorization in your system, the associated RKM articles will show after the incident is created and they can take advantage of that. Using RKM helps you have central well managed,most accurate and updated information. Service desk can download or copy the information for offline reference.

Re: Question about incident scripts
Scripts are for Support Personnel not end users. If your end users are actually using the Incident form to create their own Incidents you would need to give them permissions that they should not have to see a script. -Original Message- From: Jose Manuel Huerta Gu illén arsl...@theremedyforit.com To: arslist arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Sent: Sat, Sep 29, 2012 3:48 pm Subject: Question about incident scripts **Hi listers, I have, what I think, a very silly question. How can users access to the attachments of an script? When you create an incident script you can attach some troubleshooting documentation. My intention was to allow users that read the script to download the docs. But seems impossible. So, What's the intention of these attachments? We are using ITSM 7.6.0 with ARS 7.5.0.

Incident Scripts
Is there any reason behind the way BMC developed this piece as being locked/accessible only to explicit groups? In our situation, we have 214 support groups and we need to associate about 23 scripts. That means 23*214 = 4922 script mappings that need to be loaded into the system. Imagine if the number tripled, that means 69*214 = 14766 mappings. Does anyone else suffer from this limitation or restriction? Any work around or we need to do our own customization to make the each script available to all groups?

Re: Incident Scripts
Hi, We recommend a shared template and a shared scripts group. Then we added our support people to that group as standard. Then all the shared templates/scripts are for the shared group.

Re: Incident Scripts
In your case this is a disadvantage, but makes sense for the companies that want to provide scripts that are specific to only certain support groups. I did this for templates; I created a dummy group and made every support person a member of that group. That way whenever I needed to make a template available to all, I merely permission it for that group. I think that should work for you as well for scripts.
