TECHNICIAN IMPACTS:

  • Formatted Response Templates for Tickets: Ticket Response Templates can include the same formatting that is supported in the ticket update page. This means Response Templates can now include links, bulleted or numbered lists, images, formatted text, and more! Response templates are 'canned' responses used to update a ticket that can include variables such as the requestor's name.  For info on Response Templates, see: Creating Ticket Templates and requesting Task and Response Templates 
  • Automatic Desktop Refresh: Users can set a desktop to automatically refresh. When automatic refresh is enabled, the desktop will refresh every five minutes while it is displayed. To enable this, with your desktop visible, click Edit Desktop. Click Details. Click Enable Auto-Refresh, and Save. See https://teamdynamix.umich.edu/TDClient/30/Portal/KB/ArticleDet?ID=4576

ADMINISTRATOR IMPACTS:

  • Ticket Workflow Notification Options:  New "Notify Requestor" and "Notify Reviewer" options have been added to ticket workflows that are configured to change the ticket's status when the workflow completes. These settings are enabled for existing workflows, which matches previous behavior.
  • Notification Recipients Template Tag: A new [NotificationRecipients] template tag has been added to all areas that use the notification templates system. This will be automatically added to all non-customized notification templates. The tag will give a comma-separated list of people and email addresses who were notified, with the same formatting as is used in a Feed entry. 
  • TDAdmin Accessibility: TDAdmin is now more accessible. Navigation within TDAdmin has been updated to meet the WCAG 2.1 AA standard. 

ASSET ADMINISTRATOR IMPACTS:

  • Asset Discovery Attribute Reporting:  Asset attributes found through TDX Asset Discovery are now available as columns and filters in asset reports

PROJECT AND PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT IMPACTS:

  • Project Update Templates: Administrators can now define Project Update templates. Similar to ticket response templates, project users can select a Project Update Template on the project update page, which will be automatically added to the update comments field. 
  • Workspace settings page has been updated to be easier to use:

    • Add Rules and Remove Rules are shown in two separate tables.
    • Workspace rules can now be deleted.
    • A table shows which ticket applications are represented within the workspace with a summary of the tickets, ticket tasks, and application members in the workspace.
