Add Request by CI [Updated Implementation]

Based on customer feedback, we have made further improvements to the Add Request by CI feature, which was originally introduced in release r658, but has remained in QA since then.

The feature has now been moved to an optional account setting under Configuration Management. As a result:

• Add Request by CI is only available when this setting is explicitly enabled.
• Accounts that do not enable the setting will not see the option, preventing unintended use.

This change gives administrators clearer control over when and how configuration items can be used to create requests, ensuring the feature is only enabled where it aligns with the organization's configuration management practices.

Improved Record Layout for Better Readability

We have made several updates to the layout of both view and edit modes for records to improve readability and provide a more intuitive experience.

‍

What's New

• Labels are now placed above fields: This makes it easier to understand which label corresponds to which field, improving overall clarity.
• Left-aligned layout: All labels and fields are now consistently aligned to the left, creating a cleaner and more uniform appearance across the form.
• Improved spacing and grouping: The spacing between each label and its field is now consistent, making the form easier to scan and reducing visual clutter.

To ensure a smooth transition to the updated UI Extensions look and feel, we've maintained full backward compatibility.

• UI Extensions created with the UI Extension Designer will automatically use the new layout.
• Legacy UI Extensions (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) will retain their previous look and feel unless manually updated.

The Snippets in the legacy UI extension editor have been updated:

• Newly inserted snippets now match the new look and feel by default.
• A new checkbox, Legacy horizontal labels, has been added to the Snippets section.
• When enabled, fields inserted via snippets will use the previous (legacy) look and feel.

This is especially useful if you are still using legacy styling and are not ready to update an entire UI extension yet.

Migrating a Legacy UI extension to the new look and feel is often straightforward, but the effort depends on how much custom styling or layout logic has been applied. In legacy UI extensions, fields were wrapped using the row class. To adopt the new look and feel, rename: row to uix-row. Date-time fields require one additional adjustment: Wrap the input element in its own <div>. This prevents the date and time controls from wrapping onto separate lines in the new layout.

For a practical reference, insert a snippet that uses the new look and feel and compare the generated markup with your existing implementation.

OOO Delegation Behavior Update

We have improved how delegations work during Out-of-Office (OOO) periods:

• Manual delegations will remain active even after the OOO period ends.
• Only system-generated delegations created during the OOO period will be cancelled when the OOO period ends.
• Audit logs now clearly indicate when system-driven delegations are cancelled.

Example: If you manually delegate a task before going OOO, that delegation will stay in place even after your OOO period ends. Only delegations set by the system during your OOO period will be automatically cancelled, and this will be logged in the audit trail.

Currency Formatting for Swiss Locales

We have updated the currency formatting in the shop to match Swiss standards. The currency format is now 1'234.56 CHF, with a ' as the thousand separator and a . for the decimal, as used in Switzerland.

This applies based on your profile language settings. For example, if Deutsch Schweiz (de-CH) is selected, all currencies will be displayed in the correct Swiss format.

New Locales Added:

• de-CH (German Switzerland)
• fr-CH (French Switzerland)
• it-CH (Italian Switzerland)

This ensures full localization for users in Switzerland.

Public Knowledge Articles: Background Styling (SSV2)

When Self Service v2 (SSV2) is enabled, the background of public Knowledge Articles follows the Self Service settings:

• A configured background image is used when available.
• If no image is set, the light background color is applied.

To change the background of public Knowledge Articles, update the Self Service background settings.

Virtual Agent: Refreshed Chat Experience

The Xurrent Virtual Agent has been updated with a refreshed visual experience and improved functionality. Users will notice a larger, more accessible chat interface, updated design for request cards, and overall visual improvements that address accessibility gaps in the previous version. These changes make conversations clearer, easier to follow, and more consistent with the broader Xurrent user experience.

Behind the scenes, the Virtual Agent has also been significantly enhanced. New underlying tools and routing logic now power how the agent understands user intent and responds to questions. This allows the Virtual Agent to more accurately guide users to the right outcome, whether that is finding relevant knowledge, viewing or managing existing requests, or creating new service requests. As a result, end users benefit from higher-quality responses, better contextual understanding, and more reliable solutions during their interactions with the Virtual Agent.

Notes: Quick Replies

Specialists can now use Quick Replies when adding notes, making it faster and easier to respond with consistent, commonly used messages. This feature reduces repetitive typing and helps ensure clear, standardized communication across teams.

A new Quick Replies icon is available in the notes quick actions menu. Selecting it opens a searchable list of existing quick replies, with the option to add new ones.

Each quick reply consists of a title, used for identification in the list, and a message, which is inserted directly into the note when selected.

Quick replies are managed per support domain account, ensuring that responses remain relevant to the teams and services within each domain. The feature is fully integrated into the notes experience and follows standard Xurrent interaction and design patterns.

Lansweeper v2

The Lansweeper V2 integration app is now available in the QA environment of Xurrent. This app enables customers to import and maintain hardware and software assets from Lansweeper in the Xurrent CMDB, including automatic creation of products and configuration items, software checks, and user-to-asset linking where applicable.

There are no functional changes compared to the current Lansweeper integration. All future enhancements, fixes, and updates will be delivered exclusively through Lansweeper V2.

To begin testing in QA, uninstall the existing Lansweeper integration app and install Lansweeper V2 from the Xurrent App Store, then proceed with validation as usual. We welcome your feedback to support a smooth production rollout.

Dashboard Aggregation Across Support Domains: Display Messaging

Dashboards that support aggregation across multiple Support Domains now provide clearer, in-context messaging to indicate when this roll-up capability is available and when it is enabled. This improvement helps avoid confusion when viewing summarized metrics and makes it easier to understand how dashboard data is being calculated.

When viewing a dashboard at the Directory Account level, no message is shown, as aggregation settings cannot be managed there. When a dashboard owner views a dashboard where cross-Support Domain aggregation is supported but not enabled, an informational message appears below the dashboard title explaining that the Report Summary for Permitted Support Domains option can be enabled to view aggregated data.

When aggregation is enabled, all viewers see a clear message confirming that the dashboard is displaying summarized metrics across multiple Support Domains.

Dashboard Aggregation Across Support Domains

We are excited to introduce an enhancement that makes executive and cross-domain reporting in Xurrent easier and more accessible.

Until now, reporting was limited to the single Support Domain Account (SDA) you were signed in to, with cross-domain views available only to users with directory-level access. We have heard from customers that this made it difficult for managers and stakeholders who work across multiple support domains to create unified dashboards and reports.

With this update, dashboard owners can now generate summary reports across all Support Domains where they hold active roles, without requiring administrative access.

What's new:

• Dashboard owners will see a new option to "Report Summary for Permitted Support Domains."
• When enabled, the dashboard aggregates metrics across all SDAs the owner is permitted to access.
• Grouping and filtering options now support drilldown by Support Domain.
• Non-owners will continue to see aggregated results only, ensuring appropriate data visibility.

Add Request from Configuration Item

We're introducing an enhancement that allows helpdesk agents to initiate requests directly from a Configuration Item (CI), rather than starting from the requestor. This better reflects how help desks investigate and log issues, especially when acting on behalf of an end user.

With this update, the selected CI determines who the request is created for, making it easier to accurately capture requests tied to specific devices or assets.

What's included:

• A new “Request by CI” option available in the Add Request dropdown.
• Search functionality to find Configuration Items quickly.
• Results limited to CIs associated with a user.
• A dropdown selection for returned CI results, using an existing, familiar component.

Request creation behavior aligned with the existing Relate to New Request experience.

Executive Reporting: Dashboard

A new Executive Reporting Dashboard has been introduced to provide leadership teams with a consolidated view of service performance, operational efficiency, and automation impact.

The dashboard brings together multiple executive-focused reports into clearly structured sections, enabling faster insights and easier trend analysis. The initial set of reports includes:

• Net Satisfaction by Organization
• Average Age of Open Incidents
• MTTA / MTTR for Incidents
• Incident–Change Correlation
• Failed Change %
• Problem Aging
• Self Service AI Adoption
• Project Portfolio Health

Each report supports interactive exploration, allowing users to drill down into underlying data and better understand performance trends over time.

‍
We plan to make several follow-ups in Q1, including extending data aggregation to support multiple SDAs and expanding coverage for asset management.

New GraphQL Mutation to Revoke Request Visibility Granted by SLA

We have introduced a new GraphQL mutation that allows account administrators to revoke request visibility when a Service Level Agreement (SLA) unintentionally grants access to another account. This can occur, for example, when a request is moved and becomes visible to additional customer or provider accounts through an SLA.

‍

With this mutation, administrators can remove visibility for affected request accounts to ensure requests are only accessible to the intended parties. Visibility changes are subject to the following conditions:

• Visibility cannot be changed for the request's originating account.
• An administrator may remove visibility from a customer account if they have the Account Administrator role in the related SLA account, and the customer and SLA accounts are different.
• An administrator may remove visibility from a provider (SLA) account if they have the Account Administrator role in the related customer account, and the customer and SLA accounts are different.

If a service change later results in a new SLA being created for an account whose visibility was previously removed, the request will automatically become visible again.

Full details are coming soon in the Xurrent developer documentation: https://developer.xurrent.com/graphql/mutation/requestupdatevisibility/.

Tooltip Update: Internal Fields in Self Service UI Extensions

We have clarified how internal fields behave in Self Service UI Extensions. Tooltips now explain that internal fields are not evaluated for end users, so any visibility, section display, or required-field logic based on them will not apply. This helps avoid unexpected form behavior when designing conditional logic for Self Service.

‍

‍

Reports: Failed Change Rate

A new reporting capability has been added to support insights into change stability.

The Failed Change Rate metric measures how often workflows enter a progress halted state, displaying the count of halted workflows as a share of registered workflows in a combined bar/line chart.

Chart/Tooltips:

‍

‍

User Interactions:

• Clicking on the Registered bar, shows workflows created in that period.
• Clicking on the Halted bar, shows workflows that were halted during that period.

Key capabilities include:

• Tracking newly recorded "progress halted" workflow events.
• A visual trend line showing the Failed Change Rate over time.
• Bars representing total registered workflows vs. halted workflows.
• Ability to click each bar to view the underlying workflows for that period.

This enhancement improves visibility into change reliability and helps leadership teams identify patterns that may require process improvements. It's important to notice that only new events are recorded as this is a new tracking. So the "halted" value only appears from the date of the implementation of this feature.
