Native ticket/form within SD plus?
Hi, Hi Currently we use MS info path forms for users to log tickets on service desk plus. Is there a native form that we can use or an alternative 'stand alone' ticket that we can use and customize? We do not want users to log into the portal. Many thanks Nick.

Technician Auto assign
Hi Guys, Is it possible to choose Technician Auto-Assign from for requests that sit in certain groups only? For Example, we have a default "Service Desk" group that requests created by email come in to, and we want to enable auto assign for only open/on hold requests for that group. I had a look at the exceptions part of auto assign and "group" does not appear to be one of the filters there. Best Regards
[Tips & Tricks] Simple way to search requests submitted by a specific requester
Dear Users, I've come up with a simple trick to search requests submitted by a specific requester. Let us consider this scenario, you are in an urge to search a request submitted by a user or you often search requests by requesters, this has to be done by column filtering (requester name). Also, this would be a challenge if requester's name is mistyped. This simple trick would help you save some time and search requests pretty easily. All you got to do is, click new request and type in few letters
Update Fields on Request when approval is rejected/denied
Is there a way to update request field values after the request is rejected? I am attempting to update the subject field on the request. The form and field rules on the template will not accomplish this for me, and the business rules do not have "approval status" as a condition variable.
Questions on self service portal widgets
Two questions concerning widgets we would like to create on the self service portal: - We would like to create a widget which lists important hyperlinks to company resources - When I create a link to an internal resource that requires authentication the page does not display or states 'Unauthorized'. An example of this is a company SharePoint site that contains documentation. What account is being used for authentication to these sites? Is it the service account that runs the ServiceDesk services?
Where to find my previous questions ?

Support Groups following tickets
Hi folks, We have traditionally allowed all of our technicians to view all tickets across SDP. We have distributed Tier-1 service desks that escalate to a centralized Tier-2 to Tier-4 groups. (That is, the Tier-1 is a single-point-of-contact support desk for customers in that area. For security reasons, we are going to be implementing roles that prevent groups from seeing tickets in other groups. However, what we really need is for the Tier-1 technicians to see all tickets submitted by their customers
REST API for task update
Hi, I'm new to SD Plus and have been playing around with the REST API. I have been able to create new r tasks with the API key generated. However, when I try to update the request with the same key, I am getting an error stating: { "response_status": { "status": "failed", "messages": [ { "type": "failed", "message": "Technician key in the request is invalid. Unable to authenticate.", "status_code": "401" }, { "type": "failed", "message":
Self Service Portal Report an Incident Widget
Ok so on the "Customize Self Service Portal" there is a Widget called Report an Incident. Is there a way to hide the "Request a Service Option" I ask this as in the Free Version of SDP you cannot create Service Templates so this being in the Self Service Portal and linking to a page of blank page of templates is confusing to the end user is it possible to remove this button from the widget. Cheers.

Outgoing in-reply-to
Hi, I've been digging a bit on this before, but as the problem is getting bigger for us I figured I'd make another try on the forum, see if there's any chance of a fix. When we're replying to a mail through Servicedesk the 'in-reply-to' field is filled with an email address, rather than the message ID it's replying to as the field is there for. The e-mail in that field might be due to us running multiple alias on the mailbox we have connected to the Servicedesk, as a fresh and clean install with

Extra info next to sender’s name
Hi SD+ community, First, thank you all here on this forum for your support for SD+ users. My company uses Google as our email provider and in recent weeks we noticed some strange behavior of mail sent to DISTRIBUTION GROUPS used by SD+. The new security mechanism introduced by Google for their email groups is described here: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1311182?hl=en Simply speaking, we see in SD+ tickets with "'Sender Name' via Group-Name" as Requesters. This has serious implications in

Using an additional field with an approval python script
I have a an incident template with an additional filed called 'Line managers e-mail Address" which is compulsory, when a requester completed the incident request there is a custom trigger that calls the python script, this uses the 'Line managers e-mail Address' field to create a JSON with "ADD_APPROVAL_STAGE" The reason for adding the approval stage like this is down to new staff having different line managers, and we have many, all line managers are requesters. Python Attached. The request is made
A requester or technician is unable to self approve using python script
I have a trigger to call a python script that pull an e-mail address from an additional field on an incident template and adds the email address to the approvals list This in general works really well except if the logged in technician or requester completing the incident request and also enters their own email address into the additional field (this does occasionally happen when the person completing the incident in also a Line manager with approval), the request is created but there is no approval
ServiceDeskPlus request assignment
When a request is assigned to a group instead of a technician, it is still listed as Unassigned. This is not logical. If you give me an option to assign it to a group, and if I chose that option that request "is assigned".
Hiding the Site field
Does anyone know of a way to hide the Site field in Incident/Request Template? I tried a script: jQuery('[name=site]').parents('div.columnr').hide(); which I am fairly sure is wrong as I copied it from something else. I think it should work, with the right parameters.

Contract Worflow? or Request Workflow?
We have been using manageengine to store our contracts over the year, but now we want to introduce some automation to our contract process. I can't seem to find any workflows for contracts. What i thought was a new contract could come in as a request and then have task associated for the appropriate parties to "approve" (basicly close their task). Once all the tasks are completed the Contract Manager would send it off to docusign for signature then upload the final in the HelpDesk, to complete the

Set Service SLA based on field selection
Hi, I am looking for a way of automatically setting the SLA for a service request depending on what the user selects on the template. We have a scenario where the lead time for resolution on a particular request could vary depending on what the scope of the request involves. I had assumed that I could control this via field and form rules but the control of the SLA is excluded from that unfortunately. I may be missing something obvious but any help would be much appreciated!
