New features

SolarWinds made the following changes in this release:

  • Integration for Slack. End users can submit a ticket, including category and subcategory. They can also view a list of their open tickets, mark tickets as resolved, see ticket details, add comments and attachments to tickets, receive push notifications when an agent updates a ticket, and get help. See Integration for Slack.

  • New capabilities with Microsoft Teams integration. End users can now add category and subcategory to tickets, add comments, and see a summary of ticket details in a notification after a ticket is created.

    Users who have previously installed MS Teams integration with SolarWinds Service Desk need to log in again for integration to be updated and all new capabilities to be applied.

    See Microsoft Teams integration.

  • Create record in an automation rule can set the Description. When creating a new rule that results in the creation of an incident, the rule creator can define a description for SWSD to add to the new incident. See Create a new automation rule.

  • Delete all zero installed software. You can delete all software titles that are not installed on any device in your organization so you can maintain a clean list of installed applications. See Delete all zero installs software.

  • Modified customer satisfaction survey and approval email templates to clarify button usage. Previously, depending on customer configuration, there might be one button for users to click or two. As a result, the text describing what the user needed to do could be out of sync with the buttons available to the user.

If you have any issues or bugs related to the released features, open tickets via the SolarWinds Portal or by emailing technicalsupport@solarwinds.com.
