Group on board – Enterprise Computing Services – Middleware Integration Systems Team (MIST) 

As of July 7th, the Enterprise Computing Services MIST group has been on boarded. They are working through workflows, changes, etc.

What this means?

  • Assign tickets or tasks to that group

The Middleware Integration Team is the a big reason our cloud applications function. They integrate data from Banner to various applications.

Change Classification turned on

The “Change” classification in the IT application has been enabled. This will primarily impact the back end Infrastructure groups at this point.

IAM / ONID Support group name change

The groups for Identity and Access Management and ONID Support have been collapsed into a single group.

Group name = Identity and Access Management (IAM), ONID Support

Certificate Support

A group for Certificate Support has been added. Items like – code signing certificates, InCommon Certificate requests, etc.

All Groups

Computer or Device Name

Leave a comment

I forgot to mention one important change I made to our TeamDynamix forms recently.

The “Computer/Device Name” field is now required on the following forms:

  • CN Build/Rebuild
  • CN Customer Move
  • CN Device Support
  • CN Malware Response
  • CN Printer Support

These forms will not allow you to save them without entering something in the device name field. If you really can’t get it for some reason, enter “unknown”. You can also specify “multiple” or “does not apply” as appropriate. Computer/Device Name is not required on the Application/Software Support form, but you should still collect it if you can.

The CN Inventory ID or serial # field is not required, but please do enter it if you have it.

Why Collect Device Name?

Knowing which computer a ticket is about is critical to any sort of follow-up on a ticket. Technicians sent to an on-site appointment may end up wondering “which computer?” when they arrive if that information was not collected in the ticket.

Also, with a device name, we can look the machine up in our ticketing system to see if it has had previous issues. We can look up its warranty information. We can look for it in SCCM or Casper and see what software is installed. A lot of diagnostics information is accessible if we know which device the ticket is about.

Please note: we only need to collect device information for CN-supported devices, not personal devices.
