    Dear Serviceaide Intelligent Service Management User, 

    This update is to notify you of the upcoming Serviceaide Intelligent Service Management upgrade to your environment. This upgrade, known as Sapphire, includes new features, customer ideas from the community and defect fixes. The release will be deployed first in Staging and then in Production. If you find any issues during your testing in Staging please promptly report them to the support team.

    Serviceaide is hosting a webcast to discuss and demonstrate this new release on November 7th  8am PT/ 11am ET. To attend see the event post on the community.  


    The key features in this release are as follows with additional detail available in the Release Notes

    • Dashboard: A brand-new dashboard is available under the Reports menu and in Advanced Ticket Center to provide you a comprehensive snapshot of your service desk.
    • Similar Tickets and Suggested Solutions: Using Machine Learning, analysts are shown similar tickets and suggested solutions on the right side of the ticket. This improves MTTR by putting relevant information at the analyst's fingertips.
    • Auto-Population of Tickets using AI (Beta): Using Machine Learning (ML) and Natural Language Processing, ISM analyzes an organization's historical tickets and can set the CCTI, Priority, and Assigned group for the ticket based on the subject line of a user's email. This is a beta and limited to a small set of customers.
    • Advanced Ticket Center Improvements: New matching criteria including date fields that had relative date ranges, more fields with drop downs and better sorting. 

    For more detail on this release, including a list of bug fixes and known issues, please review the following resources:

    If you experience any issues immediately after the upgrade, please try to access the application in browser incognito mode or refresh your browser cache. Additionally, reindexing for Advanced Ticket Center and Advanced Search will take place immediately after the upgrade. Depending on the size of your database this could take up to 4 hours. During this time, you may not see all tickets in those two workspaces.

    If you have any questions about the contents of the release and the upgrade procedure, please contact the Serviceaide Support team. If you have team members that did not receive this notification, please add them to the notification system at our Serviceaide Emergency Maintenance Notification Self Registration Portal https://serviceaide.sendwordnow.com.

    We look forward to sharing this release with you.

    We would like to inform you that while the upgrade has been completed in CSMStaging environment, we are experiencing delays while we complete post maintenance activities where it might take few more hours for it to complete. You might observe few modules not working such as Elastic Search, Admin services, Kibana Dashboards and SLA.

    Dear CSM3 Serviceaide Users,
     
    The issues observed related to the Advanced Ticket Center and the Ticket searches have been resolved.  We encourage you to validate and report if any further issues are observed.
     
    Also in relation to this we have temporarily disabled the new features 'Similar tickets', 'Suggested Solutions', 'Dashboards' and 'Advanced Ticket Center charts'.  We will turn these features back on after validating continued system stability.
