New Feature Request - Request View List
Hi, In the Requests View list, we want to reorder the View list like SCP product. Could you add this feature in the near future road map? Thank you in advance. Young-Suk Ko
Linked tickets
The ability to link requests is very useful. It would be even more so if there was a column on the Requests page that showed that requests were linked. For example, this could be achieved by adding a "Linked to" column and putting the ID number of the request to which others have been linked. The columns might look like this: ID Linked to Subject... 1 Issue 1 2 Issue 2 3 2 Same

Email User(s) to Notify field use
Hello all; The Email User(s) to Notify field in my implementation of SDP 8 does not appear to work. Email to and from SDP works in every other way. I'd like to clarify how this field is meant to be used. i'm pretty sure the idea is that any email address you put in that field will have a message sent to it when the ticket is closed. It may send a message at other times too, but on incident closure is what I'm most interested in. Am I correct? what other events will trigger an email to to
Bios Date missing from Report Builder
I had been using an older build of Servicedesk for some time and recently upgraded it. After the upgrade, I noticed that the field "Bios Date" was missing from the report builder and I was wondering how I could add it back to the selection options available when building reports. I saw a report in the forum here with the Bios Date included, but it was a Query report and I am not interested in using SQL to build reports and would rather use the GUI.
Inactive Catagories are now active....how to make them inactive again?
I do not know if this happened during my three service pack updates or before or after the updates were done. I think after but I don't know. How do I make some catagories that were once inactive but now active, inactive again?
Technician login count exceeds the license
Hi I am currently trying out ManageEngine for my client and I installed the professional version using the free license option. My problem is in my list of technicians I have the administrator account enabled by default for login, because of this I cannot configure any other technician for login. I am trying to configure ManageEngine to limit what the technicians can view after login, but I cannot test this feature while logging in as administrator with full access. I have tried installing the

Group Field added to SLA Criteria
The Group field is not included in the SLA criteria fields. Can the Group field please be added to the SLA criteria fields so SLAs can be sperated by Groups? Our escalation path is primarily defined by the Group who the request is assigned to. Cheers, Lew
Keyboard navigation affected after upgrade to 8.1?
After the upgrade to 8109 (from 8017) we lost some functionality using the keyboard as a shortcut to pick items in pick list drop down boxes. Specifically, from the Requests tab, we can no longer use the keyboard (up/down or first letter of an item) to move around the View Filter list (where you have things like My Groups & Requests) . This does work in other lists, it seems confined to this one area. Any chance of getting this functionality back, as we certainly notice the small annoyance that not
Last Update Time field ignores emails
If emails flow in or out of a ticket, the Last Update field does not reflect the activity. Specifically, these emails would be between Techs, not to/from the Requester (if that makes any difference). I saw another forum post that would seem to indicate that emails involving the Requester would in fact update Last Update field, but I can't speak to that at the moment. Emails touching a ticket, regardless of who they are from/to should, in my opinion, be reflected by Last Update field. Can the intended
Can you hide certain catagories from the requestor
We have a catagory and subcatagories used for internal IT use only for system maintenance etc. We have named the catagory DO NOT USE, yes users continue to pick this catagory. We have no routing rules or auto assignments on this catagory and thus tickets sit in there and SLA unless someone is constantly checking unassigned tickets (as most others get assigned to a group, etc) Is there any way posible that exists today, or an enhancement that we can hide catagories from the requesters that we

Is it possible to do a change request without being a technician?
We have a need within our IT dept for other members of IT to do a change request to our team but they would not be categorized as technicians, nor do we want them to be technicians because we dont want them to have access to all of the data. Of course I mean to use the change request module and not the regular request module. Is it possible to 1) as a regular requester without being a technician to create a change request? 2) as a requester to put in a regular helpdesk request and then to change

Backup Technician
We are using two technicians in SD, one recevies all of the reqeusts and passes more complex requests to the other. When the first tech is out of the office, there is no option to use the other tech as the backup. The drop down shows the tech that is out and his name as the backup. I understand that SD looks to the sites for tech membership, and if not in use it looks to group memebership. I'm not using sites and there is only one group with both techs listed, so what else am I missing that I can't
Send email when ticket is closed
I've seen some similar feature requests; I'd like to be able to specify a list of two to four users to be emailed when a certain type of ticket is closed. These types of tickets all have request templates. Therefore, I'd like to be able to create the list of email addresses in the template so that every time the template is used, the email list is automatically populated. When the request is closed, in this case an account deletion request, then individuals in my HR and facilities dept would

For example: Technician wants to tell a requester to check or do something and send back the reply about that task.like checking Service Pack which applied in their system works fine or nor, Then after requester checks he should reply the result of that performance to the technician Is it possible ?

Backup Technician
I'm trying to make use of the backup technician feature, but there seems to be a problem. There are two technicians, the first tech (#1) gets all of the requests and the second (#2) gets requests assigned as needed, or as a backup tech. - kind of like a tier 1 and tier 2 support setup. If I edit the schedule and say tech 1 is out, I'm prompted to setup the backup tech, but there is no tech in the drop down to select from. I read that SD uses sites to determine which tech to use and if sites aren't

Question for integration between SDP and DC

programically create request and servuce catalog templates
we are currently building up our incident and service catalog templates there are a lot of them to do, and some only have the odd custom field. but each is based on a different category, sub category which we want prefilled instead of the requuestor doing so is it possible to mass create templates and only change the required categories for them either via a script or db also where is the default template for service request kept
Set Email From Address to Technician
Is there a way to set the assigned technician as the reply to email address when replying to or forwarding a request? If not, we could really use that feature.
How do I have separate queue windows that I can refresh without it reverting to last queue viewed
I want to have a window/tab with My Pending Requests open and a window/tab for Unassigned calls and be able to refresh any of them without it changing back to the last queue I looked at. For example, I pickup a call from the Unassigned queue window/tab and then if I go and refresh My Pending Requests window/tab (to make sure it has transferred over), it automatically changes back to the Unassigned queue. I constantly have to switch between them all the time and it is very frustrating. I am
Insufficient privilleges when logging into SD+
HI, I am using the latest version of SD+. AD integrated, users imported. I have problems with users logging in the portal. When users log in they see the message "User does not have sufficient privvileges" What is strange that after you close that message, you can continue normally. I assured the user have the needed permissions. Is this some kind of bug? If anyone has come upon this message, please let me know. Regards, Dimitar

Email replies opening tickets
Currently we are in the first month of starting to use Service Desk Plus. When any email hits our service desk a new request is opened and a reply is sent to the requester. We don't wish for replies to previous requests to open a new request. I have found a way using the SPAM settings to completely prevent replies from opening new requests. We need a solution where a reply does not open a brand new request. What is happening: Tommy emails the servicedesk and other people are in the discussion.
"Request updated" template needs to show *what* was updated
There is currently no way that I am aware of to notify requesters what was updated in their ticket in the notification email. ServiceDesk clearly has the capability of detecting what was changed because it is recorded on the History tab. Why is there not a variable to allow this? There is a variable "Impact", but it's undefined, and I'm not going to use a large scale, live ServiceDesk as a sandbox just to test a poorly defined variable. Is this functionality available?

ServiceDesk changing Workstation Name to IP address
