Load entries for drop down field from external source
Hi, I'm loocking for a possibility to load a catalog of entries from an external source into a drop down field of a ticket form. Does anybody know a way how I could realise that? I tried it with java script an the addOption in the field & form rules but I'm not able to add new entries I haven't defined for this drop down field before. Thanks for your ideas! Best regards, Michael

Service Catalog Resources
We ran into an issue recently with Incident Fields having a limit on how many we can make. I've since learned the limit amounts, but I'm curious if Resources that are created in ServiceCatalog also have a limit? If not, then great. If yes, what is it?

[Tips & Tricks] How to show pop-up/alert users on ticket submission
In the request cycle, we would have come across several scenarios, where we need to alter the requester on form submission. Now the popup window/alter can be configured through Field and Form rules, the following sample workflow will provide an insight into this feature. Admin tab -> incident template -> FaFR -> on form submission and add desired text. The requester will get a popup when he/she selects the particular incident template from the list.

ServiceDesk Scheduler
I want to start instituting ticket auto-assignment, but I don't want tickets assigned to technicians who are unavailable. I understand this is possible by applying schedules to the technicians in the system, but I cannot see the scheduler tab in ServiceDesk. We recently updated to 10.5 Build 10500. Is scheduler built into the system by default or does it require additional resources/licensing to view?
[SOLVED] "SD-76704" Attachments download .json
We are using service desk plus version 10.0 Build 10011. When a user replies to a ticket by email and adds an attachment, when trying to view the attachment from the portal it downloads a .json file. How do we get to the original file that was attached to the email? I have attached a screenshot showing what is downloaded and also that the system shows that the file is a .jpg with a size of 1856.31KB Thanks,

Is this possible? Regards

Getting signed out of ServiceDesk constantly
We're using 10508. We've noticed that we get signed out of SDP constantly. For instance, when we leave at 5pm in the afternoon and come back at 8:30 the next morning, we have to always sign back in to SDP. Is this normal? We always check the "Keep me signed in" checkbox but that doesn't seem to do anything. We are using Active Directory authentication, but not using pass-thru. Just curious if anyone else has this issue. Thanks.
Beware of 10509 if you use https
Hi, Just upgraded from 10508 to 10509 and the custom http->https redirect we had in place was deleted. So if you use a certificate on your servicedesk server, you need to re-add the info in web.inf after the update - the server.xml is fine funny enough. And if you've forgotten the text needed can be found in the FAQ here: https://www.manageengine.com/products/service-desk/on-premises/faq/upgrade-installation-backup.html Just a heads up. /Rasmus
Custom Trigger: Change Verification notification
Similar to how there's a script to notify users to reply to pending tickets, is there a script available to send to change request roles after a ticket sits in a particular stage for to long?

Custom notification rules based on group
Hi, We are using our Servicedesk system for several teams in the organisation. Requests are sent to different email addresses, which all end up in the same inbox, which is linked to ServiceDesk. In ServiceDesk, we separate the requests through business rules, assigning a certain Group to a request based on the email address it was sent to. Now we could like to customise the "E-mail acknowledgment to requester on submitting a new request" notification rule, so that the content of the email sent to

How To Delete a Service Catalog Resource Question
Hi Pitstop, I am playing around with the Service Catalog and have created some custom questions inside a Resource. Eg: Choose the laptop model as a drop down? I want to make a change to this question; either delete it or make it a Check box? I cannot find the options to do this. The ability to change the type is greyed out. Can I delete and recreate the question? Where can it be done? Thanks, Brad
Technicians Unable to see some Requesters in SDP
Hello, When opening a ticket all of my technicians are unable to load a few requester's in the Name section of the ticket. They can find and open tickets for most requester's but some just will just not load for them. I know for a fact that the requester's are in our system and were imported from AD as I can see and pull them up when I create a ticket. I do have admin access to SDP and the technicians having issues do not. When I do open a ticket against the users they are having issues with I am

Limit fields on the number of characters.
Hi,Team. The fields category subcategory and position are limited by the number of characters equal to 100. Also, naming a service in a service catalog is limited to 100 characters. More precisely, when creating an order, only 100 characters in these fields are displayed. How is it possible to remove this restriction? Thanks.
Associate Service Request -> You are not authorized to perform this action.
In ServiceDesk Plus, purchase orders can be created but cannot be associated with a service request.

Transfer Service Catalog or Incident Template from Test Server
We have a Test Server that matches our production environment. We initially thought that the test environment would be good for creating any new fields/templates we may need on production. Before I get in too deep on creating them though I'd like to find out how to move them to the production environment. This would include templates for Incident Request and templates under Service Catalog.

Help Card on Technician view
Hi, Is it possible to add a technicians version of the Help Card that is displayed on the Requester form view, to the Technician form view, maybe as an optional config, or that you can hide/collapse for those businesses that wouldn't use it. I think it would be helpful to give additional advice to technician while logging up a call. To give an example: New Mobile phone request. On the Requester version we explain the conditions that need to be met before a new mobile to be approved. It would
