Report Window returned instead of Query report results
Occasionally when running a report in Service Desk plus, the report window will show the below instead of actually returning the report results.

Deleting a Windows domain
Hello, We need to get rid of an old Windows domain that is configured in SDP. What happens when deleting a domain from the domain list? Will the corresponding requesters automatically be revoked or deleted? Or do we first need to manually revoke or delete the requesters before deleting the domain? Best regards, Demetrius

Additional E-Mail Addresses on Requesters
Our requesters have several e-mail addresses that they could submit requests from via the e-mail system. It would be nice if we could add a couple more e-mail addresses to their profile so the system would know it's them when they are submitting requests.
How Can I Stop ServiceDeskPlus from Creating Duplicate Tickets?
When we send an email it creates two tickets, not always in sequential order, sometimes it'll be a few minutes before another ticket is created with the exact same subject line and body message. We have preventative maintenance tasks configured and they create doubles of the same ticket as well. This all started after we upgraded from 9.1(9121) to 9.2(9200). We figured that if we upgraded to the latest version, it'd fix this issue, and it hasn't. We're now at version 9.2(9224) and the same issue

Is it possible to report on original requester?
Hi folks, I've got a few issues I'm trying to solve here, and I know there are some limitations, but I'm wondering if there are some creative minds out there that can help me: I've got a phone system that sends SDP an email when a voice-mail message is left for the service desk. The email is always from voicemessage@mypbx.com (this is an example email address). Issue #1: I'd like to use email rules to set the Mode field to ServiceDesk Email Message, because we have a 15-minute SLA around VM messages
Additional custom fields
Hello, More and more support teams are starting to use SDP. Because of that we are running short of additional custom fields for incidents. Is there a way to breach the limit of 24 character / 8 numeric / 8 date-time / 8 decimal fields? For service requests, we managed to have a work-around by setting up more service categories than initially planned (since every service category has its own set of additional fields) but the inconvenience is that we need to configure some fields multiple times (since

SLA for Responded Time (reaction time) calculated in Operation hours
Dear Support team, I like your products and we use them in our business. But I have one issue with SLA reporting. I have special SLA rules for reaction time of Service Desk team. I'm going to create report query which presents SLA breach for Reaction Time. It can be used for calulation: either column Responded Time (wo.RESPONDEDTIME) or Assigned Time (wos.ASSIGNEDTIME). However it is not based on operation hours. I need something similar to wo.TIMESPENTONREQ - Resolution time) for Responded Time - which
Creating a ServiceDesk Plus report showing the average requests per user, in each department
The total number of requests coming from one department doesn't always give you the full picture. A department with 100 people will obviously have more number of requests compared to a department with just 10 people in it. To find the actual load per user in each department, you need to calculate the average requests per user. This average can be used in your report to find the department wise split. This video explains how. Click here to know more about advanced analytics for ServiceDesk Plus.
Remove emails from "To" field in ticket - non-existant email reply loop

Asset history query report
Is there way to view a users assigned asset history? I'd like to be able to search a user and see a list of what items they've been assigned for instance which workstations they've used or which projectors were checked out to them. I'd prefer to not have to run some type report to accomplish this each time. I know the assets have histories but the users do not. Maybe if there was a way to show relationships that user abc has used workstation 123 and workstation 125. Not just the current one

Can't put Tabular Reports on the dashboard
Hello. I have a problem I'm hoping to get some help with. If I make a report, like a Matrix Report, I get a button called "Add to dashboard" so I can see the report easily in my overview. If I make a Tabular Report however, the button is nowhere to be found. I want to add my Tabular Report to the dashboard. It would be much better if the button was always there, but in cases where it couldn't be used it would be greyed out and then, when you point at it, it would tell you why you couldn't use it

Unable to login to SDP
Hi, We have a cloud servicedesk server (AZURE), and at the beggining we were able to login by administrator account without any problems, then we imported users from our domain controller and we were able to login with the domain users too. Suddenly the application wouldn't let the damain users login and we created local users just to ensure that at any time we would be able to login. But now we cant even login with the administrator account. We upgraded the application already, but still the same
Text Conversion & Formatting
Hi, We copy content from various sources into SDP, and find that some sources don't work well with the system and get interpreted as different fonts, sizes and formatting. Even when you do get it looking right, e-mails that get sent out appear in a different font and we're trying to make things look consistent on the system and mail. Could you advise what coding (XML\HTML) should be used when importing text into SDP ? I tried notepad but that was inconsistent, MS Word impacts formatting.....so is

ServiceDesk Plus Test System
Our clients are often looking to build a separate instance of their production copy of ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus for testing purposes. This is a pretty straightforward process but there are a few things you do need to be aware of. With a default PostgreSQL deployment of ServiceDesk Plus on a single server you simply need to build a new instance of ServiceDesk Plus on the new test server using an installer for the same build as your current production system and restoring a backup copy taken of

With the functionality of automatic discovery (Admin/Discovery), in the case of the switches we are not interested in obtaining the "Speed" field, however we would be interested to get, store and show "description" field.

Email Commands - Updates not working
Hi, We have started to use email commands. I did significant testing and learning to make it function and got success. As of three weeks ago, I could create, update and resolve cases via email commands. I have just tried this again as we are using a vendor for handling some support calls. Unfortunately the case update and resolving command emails are no longer processing, they are just going into the case as part of the email conversation. So, I get the same result whether we send the email from

9.1 Build 9110 We've noticed this a few times - mainly as the customer we are working with, 2 of the customer contacts are no longer working with our project - and dont need to be included.
