Emails not appearing in new support group
Hi, Hope someone can help me. I've set up many queues with email addresses before with no problem, but now i'm having an issue with this new one. Created a new support group with technicians assigned to it. Created a business rule for that, so if emails to this address are sent in, they should appear on the new support group. As mentioned before, i've done this for complaints and marketing recently with no issues. is it an issue with exchange perhaps? If anyone can advise me that would be great.
Version 11 - Add New User API v3 - PowerShell
I'm currently working on migrating my organizations SDP automation from API v1 and v2 to v3 and with the change in how requesters are handled from previous versions of the API I'm struggling to find a consistent solution for automating User creation in v3. Our Development environment is running on 11.0 Build 11005 and I've been trying to follow the v3 migration guide and info here: https://ui.servicedeskplus.com/APIDocs3/index.html#add-an-user but I'm currently getting a 4004: Internal Error status
Search tickets by state ( REST API + JSON + PYTHON)
I'm trying to use Service Desk Plus v3 API, to get tickets by state. I'm using Python + JSON. The following code runs, and returns some tickets, but ignores the filters. Can someone show me a working example? Thanks in advance. import requests import urllib3 import json myUrl = 'https://192.168.X.X:8080/api/v3/requests' myToken = '9E86563E-AB0B-41D2-BE5B-3D3A516E24B6' myHead = {'Authtoken': myToken} payload= { "list_info": { "row_count": 20, "start_index": 1,
Custom Asset Reports
Trying to figure out how to build a custom asset report, but running into issues getting things to group properly. Would like to have a header for each department, and a sub header for each user in the department. Then list out the assets with name, type, model, barcode number and filter for only In Use devices. I've been able to get this far: SELECT MAX(deptDef.DEPTNAME) AS "Department", MAX(deptDef.DEPTNAME) AS "Department", MAX(aaaUser.FIRST_NAME) AS "User", MAX(resource.RESOURCENAME) AS "Asset

SQL Server Reporting Services 2016 report does not display in dashboard

Updating Prioity sets SLA to "Not Assigned" - why? !!! URGENT!!!
Hello - I have a big issue where if a requester submits a ticket with a wrong Priority, the Technician will triage it accordingly but when changing the Prioity, the Response and Resolution Due By times are set to N/A. Why is this? THis is very urgent as our SLA reporting is skewed in inaccurate, please help!!
SLA problem
Hi, It appears that the SLA will only react to the operational hours if it is measured in 'hours' rather than 'days'. For example, if I set the resolution time to 23hrs 59minutes it will set the DueBy date based on actual working hours. If i then change the resolution time to 1day, the DueBy date is set at exactly 1 day away, regardless of the operational hours. This means that we can only set an SLA of a maxium 23hrs 59mins as any more than this does not work correctly.
How to script approvals based on multiple values in a Service Catalog resource question
I am really stuck on trying to use a Python script to automate our approval process. I have focused on the script that Gopinath published, but cannot get it to evaluate values in Service Catalog questions, or fields with multiple values. There seem to be a lot of conversations around this topic, and is a critical need for us to automate. My challenge is that I am not a Python programmer, and don't know what data is available in the JSON file to have the scripts evaluate. Hopefully I am just
ServiceDesk Plus - Importing Virtual Hosts and Virtual Machines
Hi guys, Is it possible to manually import Virtual Hosts and VM's via CSV so that they are classified as Virtual Hosts and Virtual Machines? Do I need to specify particular fields in my import file? Basically I want to add my ESX hosts manually via file as I can't import via vCenter, and I don't want to do scans on every host. The reason I ask this is that an import task only appears to list "Server" as an asset type, and not a separate option for "Virtual Host". Cheers, Ben

Email notification when closing calls
When we have finished working on a request, we Resolve it if we want to notify the requester but in some situations it is not appropriate to do that so we just change the status to Closed, effectively closing the request. We have set the system to email the technician to let them know when a call has been closed (as it could be closed by a different technician in their absence) but the emails are only being sent when a call which was Resolved is subsequently Closed by the system 7 days later.

SDP > JIRA - Not passing variables
Hi there, I've finally *with many failed attempts* got the integration working enough to be able to generate a JIRA ticket from SDP. However when we get to Create_Jira_Ticket.html variables like $SUBJECT or $DESCRIPTION aren't being passed into this form. It's also not creating a custom field for $WORKORDERID but I'm not sure if this is something that needs to be created in JIRA? Is there something that I need to change in our Jira.xml? I haven't made any changes to the Create_Jira_Ticket html or
Assign ticket to different site technicians
I have some troubles on setting up assign tickets owner on SDP. Requester A (site A) send out an incident template which will assign the ticket in round robin method. I have setup some business rules on this to hope i can assign to the correct technicians but failed. business rule example: subject= "A", placed in group "A", but still round robin the request to the technician who are not in group A. My perfect scenario: Requester A (site A) incident template submitted, ticket assign to technician
Suppress disabled users from AD for new tickets and project members
How do we hide users from the requester list that had disabled AD Accounts? – Project Member, Requester, etc. Many users start out as a contractor, with an ID that starts with a 9, then they are converted to a full time employee. Example: In active directory, there's a disabled account and an active account. Both accounts are in ServiceDesk, which makes sense, because we don't want orphaned tickets for disabled accounts. But, for new tickets, it would make MUCH more sense for the disabled user to

Can't change site with rules
I am creating a incident template and I want to change the site field depending on which region is chosen in a region field. eg. If a region is set to "NCA" then the site should change to "New York" But the field rules do not seem to change this/ nor any custom script - eventhough the same setup works for other fields. Is it not possible to change the site field with rules? best regards Max
Removed user with assigned assets
We have AD sync on for our users list to get updated for SDP. When we remove a user in AD that had assets assigned to them in SDP we find that the asset has its assigned into removed also. We was hoping that there was a way to leave at least the department that it was assigned when the user gets removed from SDP with AD sync? Any help would be great, thanks!

Task End Date: Estimated Effort
We noticed a behaviour difference (v11004) with a Task End Date when assigning Estimated Effort upon Create and on Edit. When creating a task with estimated effort, the system will save the start and end time correctly: on Save: but when you Edit the same task and adjust the Effort the Scheduled End date adjust to fit the Estimated Effort within a work day (ex: 9am - 5pm): If you then go and Edit the task again and adjust the Scheduled End Date, the Task saves correctly with the new hour set (ie:

Built in fields in custom reports
I'm looking for ways to improve our categorisation and reporting and ideally need Category Description, Subcategory Description and Template available in the Custom Report Wizard 'Available Columns' list. While I'm aware this can be done through query reports, this is not sufficient as it doesn't allow for custom reports to be generated using these fields in a flexible manner. I've done this in the past but it's not typically adopted by teams who use the product. From what I can tell, this could

[SDF-84106] Pending Approval Icon Update request
The ‘My Requests or Tasks’ filtered view is very helpful in being able to see what the approval status of the ticket associated to a task is. I think it could be improved by displaying the Stage that is currently pending approval in the pending approval icon area. Obviously we won’t know exactly which approval is on which stage, but for our environment, we will have a pretty good guess as to what’s pending if we know which stage is pending. This would help us to know approximately how long it will
