Integrating with Continuum Help Desk

Introduction

Use this article to give Continuum Help Desk access to your IT Glue account, so you can share information.

With this integration, both your in-house and Continuum Help Desk technicians can access the same device information and knowledge in IT Glue to consistently service clients with confidence.


Integration benefits include:

  • A single source of truth for smooth and consistent IT support
  • Efficient cross-platform data searching
  • Granular security control over selected organizations shared with the Help Desk
  • Full visibility of Help Desk technician activities with detailed activity logs
  • Less redundancy and single-source documentation management

IT Glue Integration Best Practices

Below are some items to remember when configuring the Continuum integration:

  • The following items are viewable by the Help Desk:
    • Passwords
    • Configurations
    • Contacts
    • Locations
    • Documents
  • Flexible Assets are currently not supported nor searchable, so be sure all content is created as Documents.
  • Network Glue is currently not supported nor searchable. 
  • Flags can be used to identify incomplete or missing content and to suggest changes. For Continuum Help Desk to update or review content, you must invite Continuum with the Creator role.
    Note: The Help Desk cannot create new documentation for a site and can only flag documentation for errors if Creator access is given. Any net-new documentation created must be migrated over to a site on the user’s end.
  • In a conflict between existing documentation in the ITSupport Portal and IT Glue, the IT Glue documentation supersedes the ITSupport Portal documentation.

Prerequisites

  • You must have a Manager or Administrator level access to IT Glue.
