I've experienced that as well.
 
Without knowing which version of ARS/ITSM you are running, I would suggest
the following (Applies to 7.6.04 SP4)
 
Problem due to  IE9/Flash and there are two choices:

1. You can downgrade your Flash to version 10.2

or

2. You can disable the Flash UI rendering in your Mid Tier config.properties
file

Set these lines to False:
arsystem.flash.detect_flashplayer=true
arsystem.flash.enable_ui_rendering=true

"Service Desk agents experience delays when opening Templates in Remedy

IE and Chrome being slow together is an OS issue - probably too little RAM.
Or - your IE is a gateway to virus and you are actually a TORRENT site when
it is open and not active by the user.

Or - something else :)

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 hear you about Chrome. 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

IE tends to crawl. I then noticed this to be true. If IE is used when Chrome is
