AlertMagic - Issue Management Systems (IMS)
An Issue Management System (IMS) is the system where AlertMagic creates and updates work - the destination side of AlertMagic. Each Integration writes its incidents, comments, and problems to one IMS.

The IMS page
The page lists the Issue Management System records available to your tenant, and lets you create, edit, and delete them. Each record holds:
- Name and Description - how the IMS appears when you attach it to an Integration.
- Incident Number Field - the field in the target system that holds the human-facing incident number, so AlertMagic can report it back in logs and metrics.
- Config JSON - system-specific settings, including the type of IMS, the account to use, and how to reach it.
- Connection - an optional link to a shared Magic Suite connection providing the credentials.
- Created and last modified timestamps.
The table can be searched, filtered, sorted, and downloaded. If there is a column or some data you need that is not shown, please contact us.
