Product Usage Limitations

To ensure uninterrupted, optimal, and equivalent performance across all our customer slices, we have added product usage limitations in the application. When a limit is breached, the application displays an error message.

The following table lists the limitations that are applicable on various workspaces and functionalities of the application:

Workspace or FunctionalityLimitations
Ad hoc Reports
  • The maximum number of records that an Ad hoc report return is 50 thousand.

Advanced Reports
  • The maximum time that is allowed to render a report on the filter criteria is 10 minutes. This time includes the time to render the report and the query execution time. If the filter criteria causes the rendering to exceed 10 minutes, the report is timed out.
  • The maximum number of records that an Advanced report return is 50 thousand.
  • Out-of-the-box reports are limited to a maximum date range of six months. Additionally, the Asset Warranty Expiration report, the Native Discovery Coverage report, and customer created Custom Ad hoc Views and Reports do not have this date range restriction.
  • The maximum number of tables allowed in a domain is 75.
  • A user cannot schedule a report more than 3 times. System prevents the user to schedule the same report for the 4th time.
  • The limit on the Jaspersoft report pages is set to control the number of output pages. We have set a limit of 1000 pages with all Jasperserver reports. This limit applies to all the output formats.(HTML,PDF, Excel etc.)

Attachments and Bulk Upload Files

  • The maximum size of an attachment can be 50 MB.

  • For improved security, certain file types have been blacklisted from attachments. The system checks each attachment against the blacklist before it is uploaded. The blacklisted file types are:
    • Extension checks: exe, dll, vbs, jsp, apk, ipa, sh, bat, com, jar, so, sl, msi, o, swf, class, js, cgi, scr, pif, cmd, vxd, cpl.
    • MIME Type checks: application/x-msdownload, application/java-archive, application/java-vm, application/x-shockwave-flash, application/x-sh, application/vnd.android.package-archive, application/x-executable.

If you have existing attachments with such extensions, the files are renamed during a download to avoid their accidental execution.

CCTIs

The total number of attributes that you can relate to a CCTI, including the default custom attributes in the ticket template, is 100.

For example, suppose you want to assign a CCTI to an incident ticket. The default incident ticket template contains 14 attributes. So, your CCTI cannot contain more than 86 (that is, 100-14) attributes.

The three scenarios that are associated with this metric are as follows:

  • Adding the attributes to the default custom attribute ticket template for a ticket type.
  • Adding the attributes to a custom attribute ticket template which has related CCTIs associated with it.
  • Relating a CCTI to a custom attribute ticket template with some attributes associated with it.

If the total number of attributes that are associated with the CCTI exceeds the permitted level, a message is displayed.

You can also use filter to view custom attribute ticket templates based on the Status, Class, Template Type, and Form Name.
