Create user in AD options
I know the Create User in AD menu can be customized to add additional fields. I am wondering if it is possible to add the edit manager ability that is in admp to this so a manager is set when the account gets created through SDP.
Automatically close every request that is created in specific support group
Hi, Is there a way to automatically close every request that is created in an specific support group? The goal is this: We want users to create requests in servicedesk for an specific support group. Every request that is created is forwarded by email to this support group. Then, we need that every request change to Closed status. We don't need to keep track of requests in SDesk. We only need that users could open requests and then the support group would do the follow up by email. Thanks

Search for Solutions inside a Ticket does not work
Good Day, When I search for a Solution inside a Ticket, the search does not find anything despite the fact that there are some articles. When I search directly in the solutions, the search function works fine. Just when I search inside a ticket, it does not work. I have tried all the search options and changed the topics as well. Nothing worked. Are there any suggestions or solutions for this problem? Thank you very much!
( SDF-75233)Change Management Field - Multiple Choice
Is there any way to do a Multiple choice field? Use case: when a change request is submitted, I would like to select one to many department names that may be impacted by the change. I see that someone submitted a request for this 2 years ago and it was never closed.
Set category and subcategory from request list view
Would it be possible to add the ability to set the ticket category and subcategory from the request list view? Since you can assign requests from here now it would make sense to be able to change the values for other fields here too? Click category and then popup a window to change category and subcategory and item. Currently have to go into every ticket manually to change and we are assigning to groups via category now and people's custom views are by these fields. Thanks, Dean
Is it possible to add cost by service catalog or SLA and make report about that cost?
Is it possible to add cost by service catalog or SLA and make report about that cost?
Bulk edit allow category change without setting site
Bulk edit of requests currently only shows category and subcategory dropdown values if the site is set. This means to bulk change category on requests, all the requests have to have the same site - the category values don't even show unless you pick a site. The tickets are for different sites so is it possible to allow the category to work without the site being set? We clearly don't want to change them all to the same site. Thanks, Dean
Field & Form Rules to Non Mandate Fields Not Working
We just recently updated to the newest version 10020. Since we did that I have noticed that the Field & Form Rules on one of my incident templates is not working like it used to. We have a new employee onboarding form. In the form we list several systems an employee may require access to and ask if they require it. Some of these systems require a business justification to grant access. So I created Field & Form rules. For requesters, the first one is in the on form load section during create only

Adjust request based on e-mail reply
Hi, Question is regarding Service desk Plus in Cloud. Situation: - Request is created and Group [Dev] is assigned . - When Group [Dev] is set in ServicedeskPlus, email notifications is sent to Dev Mailbox . - Dev receives e-mail with request content - let say without link to ServicedeskPlus. Question: Is there any easy way to adjust f.e. Group/Technician based on information in e-mail reply? Now it would be perfect when Dev reply to this mail. Response is saved under request and Group is automatically

Task Approval
We want to use the User Onboarding template workflows to create new user accounts. Part of the workflow is to assign tasks for each process: 1. AD Account 2. Email 3. Build PC 4. Access to specific applications. Currently it is our HR team that will initiate this process and then it will flow to IT to finish. Our policies state that we need to get specific approval for specific applications and network folder access from different business members. Once the original incident is approved, no one
(SDF-70570) Schedule status change option when replying to request
I make frequent use of the automatic status change (marking a request as on-hold, set to automatically change to open at future point) as in my environment there's lots of lab equipment and we need to coordinate access to it. As far as I'm aware the 'Schedule status change' option is only accessible if you 'edit' the ticket and then change the status. It would be extremely useful if the option also became available if you set a request's status to 'on hold' when replying, as often a conversation

Change Blackout Periods
Hi there. We have been using ServiceDesk Plus for a very short time and finally started using the Change Management module. There is a question about Blackout periods. There are times throughout a calendar year where we are not allowed to make any changes on Infrastructure. We would like to block out those dates in the Change calendar so that when someone tries to request a change they are either not allowed to or a message is presented stating that they are making a change during a blackout

Task comments and resolution
Is there a way to show comments from tasks in a resolution? Our specific use case is: We have a template that is used to report potential safety hazards. For the resolution we typically list resolution (obviously), actions taken to mitigate hazards or any repeat of incident, and employee retraining after incident completed by (name/date). I would like to create a new template that uses a workflow to turn the "mitigation" step as well as the "employee training" step in to assignable tasks. Upon task

ServiceDesk Plus Sites
I'll start off with a question. Are sites needed for my organization? Now the reason I ask. I was not part of the group that initially set up our ManageEngine products for my organization. I've been in it for about a year myself and in that time I've realized that many things weren't set up in the best use manner. I'm sure this is from lack of understanding since it was all a learning process. And once things got to a point where they worked, it was kept that way since it was good enough. I work

ServiceDesk Plus - incoming emails not fetching
Hi, think this is going to be a long shot but here goes. Version: 10.0 Build 10019, just upgraded to see if it would solve the issue. Inbound emails, fetching from a mailbox has been working fine, the smtp version to send is still working. If I double check the details and click save, it reports all saved but could not connect to the mailbox. I've tried to connect from another service using POP and IMAP and all have been successful. Also I am unable to find any logs reporting failure on fetching.
Can't login with SDADMIN accounts
I Downgraded some ADDC on my domain, and one of them was the server where I authenticated my login accounts. Now i had 2 SDADMIN accounts, but both are domain accounts, and because the domain controller authenticated my accounts for login, now i can't login with a SDADMIN to change the ADDC server to authenticated. Is there a way to upgrade an account to SDADMIN without the UI? or to change the ADDC server where to authenticated?
