Ticket report help
I have created a report that shows created, open, and closed tickets per month. The problem is that it shows open tickets only for that month, and not total open tickets by the end of the month. Example: January 39 tickets opened 35 closed 9 still open Basic math tells me 9 are still open. This report doesnt tell me about the other 20 tickets still open at the end of January. It should say around 29 tickets are STILL open. So it needs to show previous open tickets from earlier months.
Leave Types
I'm having issues editing leave types that I've added to the system several versions ago. I'm currently running the latest version 8105, have added some new leave types, and can edit them, change colour etc. I can do this with the default leave types also, but any leave types that have been in the system for some time I can't edit. Nothing happens when I click on the edit link.

iPhone App Login Issue
We have a single domain that Requesters use to gain access into the ServiceDesk Plus site, however all of our Technicians log in using Local Authentication, they do not use a Domain Account. Each technician also has a Technician Key generated for each of them. I understand that currently a user is unable to access SDP from multiple domains, however this is a single domain and these technicians do not have accounts in both the Domain and under Local Authentication. When logging in through the iPhone
How to Keep the Alias in the SDP URL Address?
Hello SDP Support Team! We configured under "Admin" tab >> In "General", "Self-Service Portal Settings">> In "Alias URL" >> we configured a name of address (example: suporte.enterprise.com). So, after we type http://suporte.enterprise.com in URL address bar, automatically this name changes to IP address number. What can we do to keep the alias in URL address bar? Just another thing about this issue... After alias was configured, in a E-mail notification, the url of ticket appears with alias name.
ServiceDesk Scan Failure
I am hoping someone else has had this issue and found a fix for it. Basically, inside ServiceDesk we are getting a lot of computers that are failing to scan for some reason. Here is what happens with the failed computers step-wise: Scanning via computer name fails. Scanning the same computer that failed via IP address works and puts the computer, with name and all details, in the detected list. Re-scanning the same computer from the detected list after the successful IP scan now works and the

Problem with Email Notifications
I'm running ServiceDesk Plus 8.1.0 Build 8105. Under "Notification Rules", I have "Acknowledge requester by e-mail when a new request is received" and this works. If I put in an incident request for someone, they get the confirmation email. However, if I also check "Acknowledge requester by e-mail when the request is closed", the requester never receives this email when the corresponding incident is closed. I also tried the "E-mail user when a request is resolved" and this didn't send an email

Data archiving : requests archived but not created or closed before
Hi, I'm testing data archiving on a testing environment (SDP 8022) before a go to production. Everything runs well but 3 requests (1800 done). Rule is : request status is closed and closed data is before 3 years. These 3 requests have been created in 2010/2011 by duplicating older closed requests. Completed time is null. I'm not sure about the behavior of SDP in that case. Is there a problem with duplicated request when archiving ? best regards, jeff

Can we route requests based upon request type (category) to a tech group without regard for site?
We are evaluating Service Desk Plus (SDP) We have several request categories that we want to go to a specific group of techs. It does not matter what site the request comes from. So far, in my evaluation, the only way to do this seems to be to 1) Make a Tech Group (TechGroup) that under Default Settings that is intended to field requests from this category type. 2) Associate each of these particular techs to every one of our sites 3) associate each of these particular techs to the TechGroup associated
Multiple requesters on one request - Is this feature in, or is it due in a service pack release??
From http://www.manageengine.com/products/service-desk/roadmap.html "In cases like New Hire, HR might be creating the new hire request and the department person might need to fill the ticket information (like Laptop / Desktop information, software information, login in AD, ...). In this case HR person and department person both will be requesters. Ability to select a requester to edit the request and fill the needed info in Service request is supported." This feature is listed as being in 8.1, but

SDP - Purchase Orders - Recording and tracking customs brokerage invoices
Hi, We have just received customs brokerage invoice from UPS for computers we ordered from USA and I don't see any place where I can record it in the system. On the one hand, customs fee is not part of the order per se, since the fee is not being paid to the vendor we ordered from so it can not be treated as shipping costs. On the other hand, this is a cost associated with this specific purchase order and it is important for the brokerage invoice to be recorded in the system. The Invoice and Payment

Reassign all requests from one group to another group
Hi All, I need some clarification on an issue I'm having with SDP. We currently have requests assigned in two groups (Group A, and Group B) however, due to restructuring, I'd like to move them all to Group C. I figured the easiest way would be to select all requests in Group A and then Group B, edit them and change them to Group C. The problem is, when I try to reassign them, the only option I get is 'Leave as is' (see attached). I don't understand why this isn't permitted - it looks as though I'm

Tracking Images from AdventNet Website
As part of a normal install for ServiceDesk Plus, why is an image from the AdventNet website loaded? It appears to be a place holder and much more likely for tracking purposes as the image is 1px square. I would like this removed and have opened an Incident with Adventnet concerning this issue back in February and haven't heard anything back. Quietly swept under the rug??

saving after editing a Holiday doesn't refresh the page or the displayed Holiday List
I am new to ServiceDesk Plus. I am going through the Configuration Wizard. Under Organizational Details, I got to Holidays. With only New Year's day ("New Year"), Christmas and Independence Day pre-configured, I decided to add a couple. I added Memorial Day, May 28th, and clicked saved. SDP saved it. Then I realized I wanted it to be a recurring holiday. I clicked the edit icon, checked the "Check if this is a recurring holiday" check box and clicked Save. It appeared not to save. Just sat there.
