Use the ticket creation settings to configure how tickets are created by N-sight RMM.
| Field | Description | |

| Servers and Network Devices | Auto Create Ticket | Automatically creates a ticket in PSA system when a Check failure or Device outage is recorded |
| Auto Close Ticket | Automatically closes a ticket in PSA system when an outage is closed | |
| Close on Check Clear | Closes the PSA system ticket when the outage is cleared (acknowledged) on the All Devices view | |
| Create ticket on Deletion | A ticket is generated in PSA system when a mapped device is deleted from the All Devices view | |
| Workstations | Auto Create Ticket | Automatically closes a ticket in PSA system when an outage is closed |
| Auto Close Ticket | Automatically closes a ticket in PSA system when an outage is closed | |

PSA Specific settings
Update the default account and device information, as well as manage the Enable site mapping option and synchronization options.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable Client Sync | Create N-sight RMM clients as assets in Datto Autotask. Synchronizes updates and deletions of clients to mapped assets in Datto Autotask. |
| Enable Site Mapping | Maps N-sight RMM sites to their counterparts in Datto Autotask. |
| Enable Site Sync | Create N-sight RMM sites as assets in Datto Autotask. Synchronizes updates and deletions of sites to mapped assets in Datto Autotask. |
| Enable Device Sync |
Create N-sight RMM devices as assets in Datto Autotask. Synchronizes updates and deletions of devices to mapped assets in Datto Autotask. Removing a device from the All Devices view (including workstations due to inactivity) marks the device as inactive in Datto Autotask.
When this option is enabled, a removed and then re-added device may create a new device item in Datto Autotask. |
| Concatenate device and site name |
Allows the device name to be concatenated with the site name
The All Devices view uses a hierarchical structure of Client, Site, and Device. Sites only support unique Device names, but multiple Devices with the same name can exist under a Client because they are contained in separate Sites rather than in a direct Client to Device relationship. This can potentially lead to mapping issues in Datto Autotask if Site Mapping is disabled because we will attempt to use a Client and Device association without the Site separator for uniqueness. Use the Concatenate device and site name option to alleviate this issue without Site Mapping. When you enable the option, the Site and Device names are joined together to create a unique entity that can then map in Datto Autotask.

The Device Categories and Products correspond to device types stored in your Autotask system. Select the main Category that devices will be associated with in Autotask along with the Product sub-category.
All devices under Category and Products are used when mapping your devices to Autotask configuration items. For more information, see Create Products and Product Categories.

Asset Tracking
You can Enable Asset Tracking to import the asset information gathered by N-sight RMM to the corresponding Datto Autotask User Defined Field. If configured, the selected asset data is transferred for servers by default, with the option to also Include workstations.
For information on setting up and using Datto Autotask user defined fields, see Create Datto Autotask User Defined Fields and Map Datto Autotask User Defined Field to Asset Tracking Element.
API Users created in Datto Autotask 2020 and later must have Edit Unprotected Data and View Unprotected Data permissions enabled, otherwise the Datto Autotask user defined fields are unavailable. For more information, see Configure User Defined Field permissions.
These permissions were enabled by default for users created in earlier versions of Datto Autotask.
You can also choose to the Populate Device Serial Number in Datto Autotask for the Configuration Item. It is independent of the User Defined Fields.
