Halo Users - How do you get your Recommendations into Halo from LCI?

We do not have the ability to create a ticket to Halo from Lifecycle Insights. What’s the best way to get recommendations over to Halo once they are approved? I am looking for a more automated approach. Is anyone using any good methods to get the recommendation into HALO? Submitted on behalf of John Marzano at Brite.

Filters don't work in the scheduler as intended

Scheduler is a great tool with lots of options to filter meetings, which is an incredible idea. However, filters don’t work as advertised. Regardless of the filter you select, it only filters by company. Long story short, if you want to see how many vCIO meetings (exclude TAM visits), your vCIOs conduct - you can’t because it will render you all meetings anyway :(. Support, suggested to me that I should submit a “great new idea” but I don’t think it’s a new idea. I see it as the creators of the platform had that exactly in mind, but it was not developed properly to make it work. I believe it’s a issue that needs to be solved, not an idea to vote for.

Account Manager vs. vCIO: Understanding Their Roles in Onboarding MSP ClientsNews

Onboarding a new MSP client is a critical process that can set the tone for a long-term, successful partnership. But who drives this process, and what roles do they play? Two key players in this scenario are the Account Manager and the Virtual Chief Information Officer (vCIO). While both are essential, their responsibilities and focus areas differ significantly. Understanding these differences can help ensure a smoother onboarding experience and a stronger client relationship.In this blog post, we'll break down the distinct roles of an Account Manager and a vCIO during the client onboarding process and explain how they collaborate to set the foundation for a successful partnership.Focus and Responsibilities: Who Does What?

Strategies to Help Build a Better Business ReviewBlog

In our weekly User Group Workshops, we explore different strategies to help you build a better business review. This weeks focus is around captivating your audience with tips on how to keep their attention focused on you.I saw this chart the other day. This shows the attention span of Owners/Decision Makers during a business review (black line) and your typical presentation (green line). Capturing the attention of owners and clients during a business review can be tough, but with the right approach, you can turn your presentation into a powerful, engaging conversation. Here are some strategies that our User Group Workshop came up with: 1. Start with a Clear Agenda: Outline the key points you will cover and stick to it. This helps set expectations and keeps the meeting focused. 2. Use Visual Aids: Incorporate charts, graphs, and slides to illustrate your points. Visuals can make complex data more digestible and maintain interest. 3. Tell a Story: Frame your data and insights within a n

How do you use Lifecycle Insights in your Client Business Reviews?

Hello everyone! As the Client Business Reviews are approaching for my MSP, I wanted to ask if anyone could share their experience and tips with using Lifecycle Insights in these meetings. We have only had Lifecycle Insights since the Fall of 2023 and have gone through one round of Client Business Reviews in that time. LCI is designed to be used during customer-facing meetings, and I would be grateful if any MSPs could share their tips or best practices for using LCI in this context.A few questions I would love feedback on:What topics do you usually cover in Client Business Reviews? Which subjects do you cover in every meeting and which ones do you avoid? How do you incorporate LCI during the meeting? Do you have any best practices that you use during the meeting?

Lifecycle Insighs + Connectwise RMM

Hi guys,I wonder if you could assist. I did see a discussion started on this several months ago but there doesn’t appear to be any responses.We recently moved from Datto’s RMM to ConnectWise RMM, although are still using AutoTask as our PSA for tickets, opportunities, contracts etc. I notice that Lifecycle Manager has a ConnectWise integration (which we have enabled) but the data I am seeing within Lifecycle Insights appears to be old and cached from Datto (back when this was live, we no longer have access to this platform).Are there plans to integrate Lifecycle Insights with ConnectWise RMM or is there some way for me to point LCI at LCM for asset data? We are struggling currently because we’re unable to present customers with an accurate representation of their device estate in our monthly/quarterly meetings.As always any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unknown Location shows up in LCI when I have a listed site in ConnectWise Manage

We are getting inconsistent syncs when it comes to the Location field for Assets. It seems if there is a custom site set for the asset in CW, then that site comes over as the location in LCI. If the site in CW is set as Main (the default), sometimes it comes over to LCI as Main, and other times it comes over as Unknown Location.

Tracking Windows 11 Compatibility in Lifecycle Insights

In a recent booster session, we talked about Windows 11 compatibility as being something we should have in front of our clients during a QBR. Part of asset planning is knowing when it will no longer have a supported OS. What I have done to add the information is adding a custom field called Windows 11 Compatible to all assets with 3 choices Yes, No, N/A. It takes time to populate the field depending on the number of assets for a given client.We have found this information helps our clients to understand that not only age should be evaluated but also support of our roadmap plans for the client.

LifeCycle Insights: Restrict External User Access to Specific Boards

Hi All,Love LCI and finding new use cases continuously. However I’ve come across an issue that I hope the community can assist with.Specifically, when granting an External User access, I want to be able to restrict their ability to view certain boards within our PSA, such as Payables. To date I have not found a way to do so. It is simple enough to create the user/privileges, but that user has access to every board in our PSA via the drop down menu in Report Builder. Has anyone else attempted to do this? Have you found a workaround to this issue? Please advise and thanks in advance for any assistance.

Critical - Lifecycle Insights Not Calculating Correctly

I ran into another instance of LCI incorrectly calculating 3 year totals – but this was from a Recommendations Report. When I looked at the Budget Forecast – it was actually correct.Here is a screenshot. These highlighted amounts are not correct, in fact, they are wildly inaccurate – like 2-3x the actual amount. This is super embarrassing when it is found in front of a client. Here is a screenshot from the budget forecast. The numbers highlighted above are correct – however, two other recommendations are wrong (but they are correct above – these highlighted in yellow with red arrows).Please address this issue ASAP. This is really concerning.

Sharing Assessment Templates

Lifecycle insights has the ability to export assessments to csv, as well as import them. As an example, I have attached a popular risk assessment template that we often show doing demos and training. Do you have any templates that work well for you that you would like to share? Or are you looking for a template from the community? Share your ideas here!

Fix Average in Stack Alignment

I write here out of desperation, as I don’t seem to be able get any response in other channels. Stack Alignment is underdeveloped! It is not usable for Alignment engineers due to simple problem with rendering data. I opened up tickets with support, addressed it during the training session with developers and all I am hearing: “Leadership decides what to develop”. Last time, I brought this topic they “develop” tile organization in customer success but fail to fix basic functionality of the product as advertised. Every training session, LCI speaks about customer success and how we as MSP need to develop strategy, budget etc to help our clients achieve their success, however ScalePad sound like ignores the same approach when it comes to us - ScalePad clients, LifeCycle Insights clients.Can we be reimbursed for paying for the module for the last year while it’s not working? If I am the only one who has the problem, why no one tells me so. Or am I the only one to use the products as it was

The start of a new year is always a busy time in our industry. January is the perfect time to reflect on the year prior to see what incremental changes you can make to your business that will have a lasting effect. What small tweaks to your business are you making in the new year that you feel will have a lasting impression?
