Issues While Using The Servlet API (Date & Technician)
I have tried using all the date formats but I am unable to save the DueBy date and the Created Date Any clue where I confirm those fields names? And what exactly is the date format?

Scan Issues with Solaris/Linux/HPUX servers
I've been having problems getting a successful scan on all our Unix Servers. Most of our Solaris servers are scanned successfully...some Linux and none of our Hpux servers are scanning successfully. I've looked at various posts regarding rpc, dcom firewall, etc. If the scans are working for some of our unix servers (and windows too), then it can not be an issue with the Windows 2003 server that ServiceDeskPlus runs on...has to be the target server. Can you tell me what processes, ports, configuration
ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus app for iPad & iPhone
Hi, I just downloaded the two ME ServiceDesk Plus apps. ME SDP and ServiceDesk+ I assume that ME SDP is dedicated for technichian and ServiceDesk+(the one with the clound in the background) is for end-users. I was able to set up ME SDP by generating the key for each technicians who are using it. However, I wasn't able to set up the ServiceDesk+. I got the "Request Failed. Status: 404" error. I checked the Server, Port, and Protocol and they all are exactly the same as the other app. Any thoughts/ideas?

IP address field for IT assets?
I created a new product type of IT assets called Copiers--we want to track the name, model, IP address, etc. The only problem there is not a field for IP address.

I don't even see an IP address field for the routers and switches categories either. Thanks!
Approvals in ServiceCatalog
Hi, We use SD+ v8017 and we configured our Service Catalog and are testing it. When we use extra Resources in a service containing different questions, there is no possibility to set these fields as mandatory. Is this possible in next versions or in the new release of 8.1? Also when the user doesn't fill in all extra resourcefields and the approval is done, the status of the approval is reset to pending when a technician fills in the empty fields. This is unusable because approvers gets multiple

Reclassifying products issue
Hi, I'm having an issue reclassifying some of our servers. When we first installed Service Desk we imported Servers from a CSV file and classified them as non IT Assets with a Product Type: Servers Imported, we did this because we lacked the node licenses to properly import the servers under the IT Assets server. Since then I've purchased more nodes and I'm trying to change the non IT Assets Servers Imported into IT Assets servers. I've had success with most Product Names by changing the Product

Hi all, we are evaluating the ServiceDesk solution for our company. We already set-up SLA in order to avoid late reply to the customer.

Have a field toggle a task request
I would like to be able to see a feature where a particular field can toggle a task request. For instance, when creating a new user account we have multiple accounts that the manager needs to be able to select from. I would like to have it be setup so that if they select the field "Email Account" and select "Yes" that it would create a Task to create an email account or if the select "No" it will not do anything. Do you think this is something that could be incorperated in? Thanks, William

Dynamic auto-suggest solutions when making a request
Hello, In a perfect world my users would go to the solutions and first search for a possible solution for their given problem. Off course, in the real world, it ain't happening. We receive requests, for problems we already added a solution for. So if i may suggest a "function" I would like to have a auto-suggested solutions function. This means that when one types in his/her problem in the "subject" (which is mandatory by default), the program automatically calls an ajax-function that looks for
