5.1.02 Watch this preview presentation to learn more about the new SysAid 5.1.02 version... Version 5.06 5.0.06 was a minor version which included a few bug fixes intended to assist you with your daily work as IT professionals. Prior to version 5.0, SysAid had almost no graphical elements in the user interface. In version 5.0, we have changed the interface completely. We believe it provides a much better overall experience and allows better focus and efficiency in your daily work. However, the graphical elements caused the web browser in some cases to take a little longer drawing the web page on the client side. We took your feedback most seriously, and our development team worked rapidly on optimizing the interface, so we can now offer improved performance even on slower machines. More improvements we have made to SysAid version 5.0.06: *SR search includes Unicode characters in languages. *Firebird backup has been fixed and runs appropriately. *Remote Control does not change the statues of the controlled asset, so it does not appear to be off line. Version 5.01 New Features: End User satisfaction Survey - This new feature enables you to keep in touch with the needs of your end users. SysAiders can now issue a survey when closing a service request, in order to track and measure the satisfaction of your end users by the services of your helpdesk. DB Backup - You do not have to use external database to enjoy backup capabilities. SysAid supports backup in its internal databases. Now, you can use the database backup included in SysAid not only to backup your data but also to detect corrupted data. News - important information can now be shared in a news format. SysAid can notify your administrators about special events and incidents, as well as share relevant information with your end users. Notifying your end-users about a common problem or upcoming event has never been easier. vPro Support - vPro is a new chip by Intel that provides support for software and hardware inventory management, which allows remote access to your network, even to machines that are turned off.
