Solutions Area - Multiple Sites - Restrictions
Hello, I have been looking around and did not see any questions or answers about this. Is it possible (now or in the future) to setup the Solutions area to be able to restrict an approved Solutions article to just one site? We have multiple clients and want to setup one service desk for all of them to use but we do not want the companies to know we service other companies besides them. Would there be a way to setup the Solutions we post (for self help) so each site would only see what we want them
How to: onhold requests autoopen at specified time
We're using tech auto assign (balanced loading). Load Balancing: The number of requests that are In progress and assigned to a technician is taken as the load of the technician. So on selecting this model, technicians with the least load are assigned to requests. e.g.: tech 1 have 3 requests (6 long requests, with time duration - 2 weeks) tech 2 have 5 requests (5 small requests) when new request is registred it will be assign to tech 2. after some time, tech 2 will resolve all his requests (because
Auto close requests
It would be great if we have an option to autoclose request if requester didn't answer on our reply. Sometimes request is created by user, when trying to get some more info, user disappear and no one answers to or replys. So we need to automate process..or just make notification that request is open for ... long and no one answers.
Changes starting in the the next two weeks
Hi all, I need to write a custom report that shows all the changes who's scheduled start date occurs within the next two weeks. I can't do this with the custom report tool as it wont let me choose a variable date in the future. Is there a way, using the query editor to write a report that will always show the changes that are scheduled to start in the next two weeks, regardless of the day it's run? Thanks in advance.
Auto assign group based on technician
A nice feature would be a setting to automatically populate the support group when a technician is selected. When our staff picks up a ticket often times they forget to select their group, which leave gaps in the reporting (We report on Support Group productivity).
How do I downgrade from a service pack?
I need to downgrade from service pack 8213 to 8212. We a have database the was configured using the 8212 service pack and a new install servicedesk install that is running 8213. When ever I try to attach the database it gives the the error message that the service packs don't match. I don't have access to that 8212 instance anymore and need to revert back to 8212 to connect the database. Is there any way to accomplish this?
Resolution emails
Hello, When a request or incident is resolved, can you have it set to automatically email an external email address e.g. a vendor? Reason being, a vendor would like to be notified everytime a certain type of software request is resolved. I've looked under Business Rules, and in the Resolution Tempates - but the only way I can see how to achive this is to manually populate the Email ID: field in the case before it's resolved .. which is not ideal, and can easily be missed. Is there another

Using the API
I have a question about using the API for Service Desk Plus. Can I use a C# application to add requests? Is there any C# sample code that I can have a look at that anyone knows of? Also, can I just construct a string with parameters and then pass this string to the http://assist.optimation.co.nz/servlets/RequestServlet http address?

Servicedesk plus login/password popup on Windows and tomcat configuration
Hello, I have an installation on a windows server. Servicedesk plus loads up fine if I visit the site using the computer name in the URL bar. But if I visit the site using a host.domain name ex... servicedesk.company.com, then I get an additional login/password prompt pop up box. The idea we're pursuing is that the URL presented to the Tomcat server doesn't match what it thinks it is and hence the login/password prompt. In the BSD/Linux world, I would normally add a ServerAlias statement to the
Advice sought on the use of SDP to manage team tasks and small projects
Hi All, We currently use SDP's Request module to record requests and incidents raised with our helpdesk team. I manage our server and network team, and would like to use the request module to keep track of my team's miscellaneous tasks and small projects. I'm thinking of creating a new Request Type of something similar to 'Server Team Task' and perhaps creating a new custom priority. The idea is that all of my team's tasks can be logged within SDP, allowing my team members to view and manage their

Servicedesk plus - issues
Hi, We're using SDP for almost a year now. Works fine, except from the issues and bugs. I don't have a (big) problem with bugs, if they are getting solved. The problem I have is, with every update/hotfix that we're installing, we're getting 4 or 5 new issues / bugs.. I don 't know what's the testing procedure is before releasing a now hotfix, but I think some hotfixes are not very well tested. Now, we've installed build 8213 and we've already send 5 new tickets to the support with new issues since

Approval request template Enhancement to....
I think it would be great if when an approver clicks on the link within the template and the window opens with the description and listed conversations that the list of all approvers be shown along with their status ie) pending approval, denied, approved. Should also show any comments they may have made Also an approver should be able to add a comment without having to approve or deny a request. In other words they should not have to deny a request if all they need is additonal information before

Issue with remote control
We're testing out SDP's remote control agent and so far haven't had much luck. When we attempt to start remote control, we're getting "FAILURE :Failed to copy files to the remote workstation. " We have the Windows 7 firewall disabled in domain mode, and the user configured is a member of the local administrator group on the test PC. The asset scan works without issue. I have even tried manually installing the agent. This creates the service "ManageEngine AssetExplorer-RemoteControl" but even
Unique asset name restriction
Hi, Just trying to guage if other people also have issues with assets having to have a unique name. There are other fields which could be unique e.g. asset tag or serial number field. For me it makes sense as when I want to view assets associated to a user it would be a lot easier to see 'Laptop, Phone, USB Stick' rather than '01234, 056324, 015987' or 'USB Stick1' etc

Importing Sites
Hi, I am trialling SDP for our Service Desk; going through and setting it up to see what we can and cannot do with it. The import feature from AD is working well for me for users and machines but I am dubious about setting up sites. We haver over 500 sites in our organisation and I do not relish the thought of setting them all up by hand. Is there a way to import sites using csv? I cannot see an obvious method to get around it but if anyone knows if it's possible that would be great! Thanks,

Archive Handling
I like the fact that we can archive cases to a read only state, however, there are some things I'm not a fan of about the archiving: - Backups during upgrades see no improvement by archiving requests. There should be an option to backup full, archives, active or trimmed (db only). If have a scheduled backup, why do I need to backup the archived requests again during an upgrade? Why not skip that data and cut the pre upgrade backup in half? - Import/Export of Archive Data. Allow archived requests
