Way for force completion of fields before assigning Technician
We have added some custom fields to an incident template to categorise the incident as software/hardware etc. The fields are marked as mandatory and also form part of the request closure rules. Is there a way that unassigned tickets cannot be assigned to technicians without these fields being completed? Thanks
Survey Email Configuration
Running ServiceDesk Plus Build 10006. For the request-based survey, an email goes out to the requester when a call ticket closes. Before we upgraded, the $SurveyLink would just send the link to the survey. After the upgrade to 10, it adds a second link for "Skip Survey". Is there a way to turn that off so it only sends the survey link? In our environment, if someone doesn't want to take the survey they just delete the email. Thanks!

Self-service to the rescue! But how effective is your solution base?
According to a study by Forrester, 72% of US customers prefer to use a company's website to get answers to their questions rather than contact the concerned service desk via telephone or email. If that number feels a little big, ask yourself: When was the last time you picked up the phone and called your service desk to raise a request or report a problem? Well, unless the issue is a show-stopper, we all prefer the good old knowledge base articles. With more and more customers turning to self

Is there a way to view Cumulative permissions for roles?
Hi folks, I have many technicians (>100) with many different security requirements. Because the technicians may have multiple roles associated, I'm thinking of creating a tool that will show me the cumulative permissions (much like a resultant set of policy tool) so that I can see the cumulative effects of applying a role on a technician. My questions is: 1) Is there already a way to do this? Thanks, Adam

Automatic assign call and status to 'in progress' when editing a request
Usually we get requests registered by mail. They are then unassigned and have status 'registered' in SDP. Technicians pick up calls from the unassigned calls list, look for a solution and reply to the request. Problem is that we have to assign technician and set Status to 'in progress' by hand by going to the Edit mode of the request. It would be much better when a technician picks up the call (from either the requests overview or the opened request) or when he replies to a request, the status is
Change Request: Everyone can change the ChangeApprover?
Hello, we want to create some CR Templates. Also the Change Roles should be pre-defined for each Template. So far, so fine. But when a "CR-Technician" opens the template he is able to change the Roles (ChangeApprover, LineManager, Implementer, Reviewer). This option gives the technician the possibility to change the approver to himself and then he could approve his own change.. In the Field & Form Rules I can disable almost all fields but not the Roles Fields... Is this correct? Or a bug? Or a feature?

Business Rules - Prevent Repeat Triggers
Is there any way we can setup a business rule so it only triggers once, rather than on every edit. Scenario: We've got a field on our templates for Escalation (Yes/No). On the request when escalation is set to YES an email is sent to various managers, but that email is sent on every subsequent edit of the request. What we need is the email to trigger only once.

[Tips & Tricks] A usher to requesters
Hello folks, I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and wish you a very happy new year! We have some exciting plans for this year and we would share those plans in the coming weeks. As you all know, we have rolled out a lot of features in the recent versions of ServiceDesk Plus, this one tiny feature "Help Text" would help requesters know more about the request fields. Let's consider this scenario, a novice logs into the helpdesk very first time and might not be aware what Priority field is for.
Auto-Fill Fields in Template According to Email
I am looking for a solution that can auto-fill in fields in a request template according to the email contents. I was looking at the Email Commands feature on SDP, but it doesn't seem to be very intuitive since I am looking to do this for clients sending in emails through the DesktopCentral agent tray icon. Those by default get converted into a ticket, but it uses a default template where the fields are empty. I am trying to figure out a solution that would convert a pre-defined template that I set

[SDF-48997] Pausing Preventative Maintenance Tasks
Hi all, We have a large number of Preventative Maintenance Tasks that will run over the Christmas period. However, i would like to pause these if possible as I do not want them to run between 22nd December - 2nd January as our business will be closed for the festive period. Alternatively, if there is a way to pause the ServiceDesk in its entirety that would also be useful. Are they ways to achieve either of the above? Best regards, Reece
Desktop Ticker for Alerts
Team, I'd like a feature request for a desktop ticket bar inside of SDP. This would display or scroll alert messages in a bar across the top or bottom of the application. We have over 100 technicians, and I can assure you that none of them go to the home screen where the alerts are displayed. They are in the request list for the day working tickets. It would be really helpful to have a way to ensure technicians see the alerts. For example: "Application x is presently down. Please associate all
