Create Reoccurring Events in SysAid
A Tip from Sarah Lahav, the Head of SysAid Customer Service and Support Team
SysAid upcoming release 5.5 will enable to create either manual or automatic reoccurring incidents, correlated to the task that can be deployed either on a single time or a daily/weekly/monthly basis.
The information under this task includes all the related incidents, so you can track them.
- Go to Tasks and Projects-> Notifications
- Click the New
 icon to open a new notification.
- Compose your notification.
- Go to Projects-> Notification tab.
- Replace the default title: $special project $title with the title of the new notification, and the name of the task related to it.
- Go to Tasks-> Notification tab
- Set the time and date for your recurring notification: choose whether to make the notification reoccur on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, on which time and day.
- Click OK.
The notification regarding your task will reoccur as a service request in your helpdesk, according to the times you have set for it.
SysAid 5.5 upcoming release also deploys all incidents regarding a project. You can manually create a matching incident to all the correlated tasks in a certain project. You can use this as a template incident distributer, for reoccurring incidents such as IT operations for a new employee, end of year check list, etc.

Words from Oded Moshe, our new product manager
Hello SysAiders,
I am excited to be taking the role of SysAid Product Manager. I replace in this position Saar Bitner, who has been nominated our Marketing and Sales Director.
For the past fourteen years I have been in IT Management, dealing with applications, systems, networks, security, and all other daily IT activities. I have personally dealt with most of the challenges and the expectations all IT professionals face.
I have had the privilege to experience SysAid as a SysAider, when I chose to implement this wonderful set of IT tools for the last organization I worked for- a large international distribution company, with more than 100 locations worldwide, and thousands of users.
After testing other products I finally chose SysAid mainly due to SysAid’s ability to answer all the main IT issues in a single integrated and easy to use product. I also loved the amazing flexibility of customization, that allows fitting the tool to your exact needs with no more than a few mouse- clicks!
My vision is to expand SysAid to more IT management tools that will be built with the same approach of "Keeping IT Simple" and will enable you -IT leaders- to bring added value to your organizations.
I would like to take this opportunity to say that you are being taken care of by a wonderful, creative and dedicated team, a team that believes your success in your daily assignments is a major part of their own success.
I would also like to emphasize how valuable all your inputs are – keep sending them in!
The wide scope of experience all of us bring is a significant component in shaping and improving our products, along the lines of ITIL true best practice.
Exciting times are ahead, with the new SysAid 5.5 release soon to be officially released – and I look forward to hearing from you all in our upcoming community!
