Customer sites
Hello; Some advice from users would be much appreciated. We act as a support team for multiple small businesses (in the health sector). These sites have transient users. These users don't have an active directory listing with us. We have fudged SDP to handle these generic users by (wrongly) using sites an important piece of information, and that the name of the requestor is just placed in the description of the request. How can we be handling our 'sites' like this with SDP? The system seems to be

SLA practices what do you do?
We are looking to set up our SLA's but it only has two criteria replied or resolved. What about assigned? If I assign it to someone but not resolved in 2 hours it should be escalated but I don't need to reply. SLA for say a windows password reset. our SLA is resolved within 10 minutes lets say. If I pick up a ticket and call the user to resolve their issue but the SLA says it should be resolved in 10 minutes it will get escalated/alerted while i'm on the phone with them. What does everyone else

Approvals text
When a comment is added to an approval, it is difficult to read those comments. If I hover the mosue over the comment, it is displayed in a tool tip type of window but only for a few seconds. I suggest that you allow techs to click on the comment to pop up a window that contains the text entered by the approver. The tech should then have to manuall close the box rather than have it automatically disappear after a few seconds. Need to provide a "More information required" option that sends the text
More Simple and Effective Tips for the Self-Service Portal in ServiceDesk Plus - Service Catalogue
Taken from our Blog page - http://set3manageengineuk.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/more-simple-and-effective-tips-for-self.html This one came up the other day when I was doing some work on the Self-Service Portal with a client. We were creating Service Categories and Service Templates as part of the main ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus Service Catalogue which bore no relation to IT e.g. booking travel, hotels, taxis and requests for catering and the like. Now I followed the usual exercise of using meaningful terms
Known Error Database (KEDB) - NOT SOLUTIONS
As part of the problem management module it would be nice to have a list of know errors and workaround. While this can be implemented as a "solution type" the fact that incidents cannot be related to to a solution means there is no ability to see the effect of the known error on the service. Requirements: It should have custom fields for the client to create their own data types against the record (the status of the error, severity, system etc) It should be able to be linked to a Request - i.e.

RMA'S
I have some bad monitors that are going to be hot swaped by the vendor. I need to track the vendor's case number for the swap, the old serial number (to remove from inventory) and the new serial number (to add to inventory). My thought is that this is all one record as the replacement monitor will expire from warranty in the same time the original was to expire. And if we need to verify either serial number a search should show us that the two serials are related. I'm not sure how to accomplish this.
Active Directory Manager Attribute
I have Active Directory Authentication active and have been importing my users. I recently created an Additional field in Manage Engine called "Supervisor" and want to map it to the Active Directory Attribute Manager. When I go to Import Active Directory User, I select the "Supervisor" check bock and in the mapped field I type "manager" (According to Microsoft, this is the attribute name). However, when I do an import, I do not see the Supervisor's name. The field is still blank.

Adding a database instance as a Configuration Item

New Support group not visible as a choice

I have allocated technicians to the support group, including myself for testing. But I cannot choose this group from the group dropdown.
