Documenting with PowerShell: Autotask Stack Documentation

This blog is based on Gavin Stones amazing work on gavsto.com. Gavin is a good friend of mine and he helps out our community a lot. As before I worked with his glance cards within IT-Glue that make documentation prettier.

When he showed me how he used the Glance cards to create a stack overview I loved the idea and figured I would make the same for Autotask users, unfortunately I haven’t been able to stick a lot of time into this as other stuff is taking priority. I figured I would share the rough draft and have the community create it into something even better. 🙂

All you have to do for this version is to fill out the services list variable with the name of the services inside of your Autotask PSA. It will then create a glance card to show if its active or not. To show how this could look in your PSA I’ve included a screenshot, with some contract names blocked out:

The script

So like I said, it’s a little bit rough on the edges and I haven’t had time to perfect it. Feel free to change it to your own needs of course. Our internal version focusses more on different contract types, services, etc so I cannot share that. 🙂
