set field value

Tasks are assigned to technicians automatically based on created dependencies. Technicians can not acces request details based on group membership and permissions but I need to provide some informations to them. For example I would like to set request description value to description of assigned task. Or value from resource item on request form to set as description or comment

Prevent ticket creation for users
Is there a way to prevent users from opening tickets, but allow them to check the status of tickets? We want to force all tickets to only be created at the Help Desk, but give the users the ability to check the status of their tickets. I was thinking that you can modify the SDGuest role, but it doesn't look like there is an option for that. Thanks. Dave

More default widgets to choose from for the self service portal
(build 9307) Hello It would be great if you provide more default widgets for the portal. I think it's difficult to make a widget editable, but it should be easy to provide a selection of default widgets. You could provide different kind of "My Requests summary", for example one which includes the number of "On Hold" Requests, or "shared to me" Requests. Best Regard, Markus

Creating request using API, duplicate display name
I create new requests using the API. We have some requesters with the same display name, but unique email addresses. From what I can se the only way to specify the requester is using: <parameter> <name>requester</name> <value>Firstname Lastname</value> </parameter> However, when there are two users with the same name all requests get assigned to the first of them. I want to specify the requester with a mail address since all mail addresses are unique, however
Request - Assign Tech, auto select their group
When assigning technicians, you select the group and then the technician drop down has whoever is in that group. Possible via trigger or other to reverse that? When I select a technician, I want the group to automatically populate with that tech's group. If multiple, give me the first as default. It would automate the assign process and remove a step and also force the group field to always be populated.
Support groups
Hi I have support groups set up with technician for each support group , i would like to know how do i set it up so that i can allocate tickets to the support group so that the technicians in that support group can pick the unassigned tickets in their group for instance support group ( Network Infrastructure) all network related calls are allocated to this support group and all technician in this group can view the tickets and pick them from this group

What is the best way to find out the SR# of a duplicate ticket that has been created
This is a bit of a silly question, but when I create a duplicate ticket, it doesn't appear to put me on that new ticket. It also doesn't provide me with the ticket number (which would be a big help). Aside from having to change filters and look for the newest request, which is time consuming and cumbersome, is there an easier way to get the newly created request number or get to the ticket? Thanks, Adam
Reports standard free edition
Hi I am trying to see whether we could generate reports with the free version of the product. As, I did not see anywhere in the standard version that I could go ahead and create the report. I hope we could, as I would like to generate reports based on critical, medium and low incidents. In that way, the management could see the reports and find out that we meet the SLAs. Appreciate your feedback and help no this. Thanks John

Office365 - MailFetch Issue
Hi, Out of nowhere last Saturday the ServiceDesk Plus stopped Fetching e-mails. Upon looking at the log files I noticed the following: [12:52:09:721]|[09-17-2018]|[com.adventnet.servicedesk.common.MailUtilities]|[INFO]|[116]: Check if the username and password are correct| Although the password didn't change, nor is it set to expire and I do have the possibility to login to the account through office.portal.com with the password provided in the servicedesk. It doesn't look related to the certificate

Add open ticket queue amount to initial Requester page ?
Hi, we have a report, which shows in graph amount of tickets for each site per category. We would like to show the graph of already opened ticket queue per category to each site requesters, when they login, so that they know, what is the amount of open tickets before them. Is there a way to do this? When I try to customize the self-service portal settings, I cannot see a way to add such information for our users. Any help is much appreciated. Regards, Jan

ServiceDesk Plus Spell Check Dictionary
In the recent past versions I swore there was an option to select Google as the spell check dictionary, as of now in version 9.3 Build 9335 that option is not visible if available at all, we have all our techs wondering why the built in spell check is bad and offers worse spelling/pronounce options then our own. Is there away to change the spell check settings or is it set by the default browser being used? (Mine is Opera LOL)

Alert Technician notification not working with a Business Rule
Hello, I have a business rule configured with an action of Assign to Technician and also have the notification rule on to alert technician by email when a request is assigned. The notification rule doesn't seem to be working, but the tickets are being assigned properly. The technician never receives an email. Is this not the intended function of that particular notification rule? Does the technician have to be auto-assigned in order to trigger that notification? 9.4 Build 9413 Thanks, Josh
Servicedesk not responding
Hi, when we use the mail module of servicedesk, we often get the browser message at the button, that servicedesk is not responding. I know this is a combination of the network, infrastructure and application. Is anybody else having this kind of error? it is quite annoying when you have a lot of tickets and want to use the dialog functionality within servicedesk. We are running the latest version of servicedesk.
Change the status to denied
We're looking for a way to auto change the status on an approval request that has been denied. Currently when we receive a ticket that requires approval, the help desk manually submits it to the appropriate party for approval. Generally speaking, they are always approved. However, lately I noticed that if one is denied, it returns to the regular ticket que and looks identical to a ticket that has received an approval. Is there a way to change the status on a ticket which has been denied to a denied
