API bug when updating custom fields
I've already communicated this bug to support a few weeks ago but also documenting it here for exposure and to see how others are updating SDP via API. Bug: When updating an asset or computer custom field via the api, Service Desk will change the model and product name to "Unknown Workstation". We are using ForeScout CounterACT to determine numerous compliance metrics on our endpoints and then updating them in SDP in realtime. For example, ForeScout will determine if a computer is compliant with

Create User Avoid Duplicates
Looking to create users and avoid duplicates. Created new format (first initial of first name and first five letters of last name) Example- Stephen Rosalbo = srosal Need to check for duplicate and if so add 01 or 02 etc. I edited Login (pre-2000 Windows) to check for duplicate. other settings I am not sure what to choose and seems whatever I do chose still comes back with error that account exists.
Avoid duplicate IDs
I am looking to avoid duplicate accounts by adding 01, 02, 03 etc to newly created format. Example, Steve Rosalbo = srosal and if another srosal exists add 02 or 03 etc. I keep getting error that user account exits after filling in the Prevent Duplicate fields.
Add Technician as Criteria for Business Rules
It would be better for some automation to be able to set actions based also on the assigned technician. In our scenario, there are incidents we can predetermine to which specific technician will a ticket be assigned based on the business rules. However, our challenge is automating the level based on the predetermined technician names. What we would like to see is if ever a ticket gets edited with a technician being assigned,via business rules we can automatically set the level as Tier1. I tried checking
How to manually import asset explorer results into ServiceDesk?
Hi, We are currently in process of configuring CMDB in v9.0 in order to migrate from v8.0 to a nicely pre-structured servicedesk architecture. Have been utilising the AssetExplorer tool. This is great with hosted servers, now we need to run this on external servers off our network. Can install & run the tool fine but ServiceDesk host will not retrieve the results off the network. On the external Assets we have the agentdata.xml file with all the results ready to be imported; wondered if there was

Dynamic Field in Incident Template
I was wondering if you could implement Dynamic Fields in an incident template. A user\technician is creating a new request and chooses a group, we have General IT support, Cad Support, Sharepoint Support and Infor Support. Depending on what group they choose the category option appears, then after selecting a category the correct subcategory appears. Another upside of this is that you can make a subcategory and assign it to multiple categories instead of how it is now. i hope you could do something

Is there any way to create a Service Request from an email?
We have electronic forms which send their outputs to ServiceDesk Plus. We'd like to be able to automatically process these to create Service Requests using email commands/business rules etc. Then we'd ideally have ServiceDesk Plus fire off approval emails, assign to the right technician after approval etc - it would be very low touch for the Service Desk team, but a good way for us to track requests raised etc. I've been experimenting with this, but I can't figure out how to get it to work - I can
auto create Self-Service Login
Hello, Is there a way to automatically create the Self-Service Login during a new request if the Contact already exists, but it doesn't have a Login? In Global Admin settings (Application Settings > Settings > User Addition & Import Settings), there is a setting "Also create Self-Service Login account". This will: - create the "Login" if the "Contact" doesn't exist. - not create the "Login" if the "Contact" exists but doesn't have "Login" enabled\set. Regards Lakend

Automatic Patch Tasks
Hello, Could you confirm the following please: I’ve created an automatic patch deployment task which will scan for and deploy updates to computers every Wednesday at 10AM. I’ve configured the execution settings to retry twice on failed attempts, once on start-up and the other during refresh. Am I right to assume that should a computer be offline during the next scheduled run time (i.e. Wednesday at 10 AM), according to the execution settings, it will still apply the task the moment it next communicates
Duplicate requesters and Technicians
Hi, I have the following situation. When importing new users, the SDP duplicated requesters and the domain, getting as MYDOMAIN.LOCAL. I deleted the users and the domain, however, a strange thing happened. For some reason the technicians were created again as requesters with the existing NETBIOS domain name. My problem is that if I delete the requester referred the technician, they lose access, and if I delete the technician and transform the new requesters into technician I lose the association

SupportReps & Contacts
Hi, I have checked the forum and found my question had already been asked 7 years ago, but no visible answer was listed. Can a SupportRep also be listed as a Contact? - Each time I add a Contact that has the same address as a SupportRep the system automatically removes the SupportRep from existing and vice versa if I enter the Contact first and then create a SupportRep login. Is this possible, or a feature that SCP is considering adding? Looking at the old forum post it was quite a popular question

Is it not possible to add/update assets via the REST API?
I want to start using SDP's REST API. I noticed it doesn't seem possible to add/update workstations/assets via the REST API, but it is possible to do so with the Servlet API. I just wanted to confirm this. Also, when updating an asset/workstation via the Servlet API, what value does the parameter 'associatetouser' expect? Is this the full name of the user? The user's log-in name? The user's username? http://www.manageengine.com/products/service-desk/help/adminguide/api/asset-attributes.html#add_updateworkstation

Disable Advanced Change Workflow
Is anyone aware of a way to disable the requirement for Change Manager approval at each stage of the change request process? We recently upgraded to ServiceDesk Plus 9 and don't need each individual stage of the change to be approved. We basically want to make it work like it previously did where it only requires approval from the change manager one time after the CAB has approved.

For IT eyes only...how do we keep the user from seeing everything?
We are having some issues with keeping visibility of attachments and updates to Requests from the Requester. We would like to see an IT Communication option, and, an option for attachments that would allow us to keep communication private (notes can't fulfill screen captures or attachment needs). To have a check box for attachments to be marked as "Share With User?" otherwise, keep it private (within IT) would be really nice! Anyone have any best practices or suggestions for us - we are 3 weeks

Set "on hold" to open after time
Is it possible to set a date where a case "on hold" should be set status "open" again? E.g. waiting for customer reply, set "on hold" for a week, awaiting response. On response the case is reopened, but otherwise on due date, technician can send a reminder and/or close the case. Or is it optionally possible to create a view showing e.g. "cases on hold for a week or more"
Alternate email
Hello, Could anyone help me set the "Alternate Email" -field for multiple "Contacts"? We have a lot of "Contacts" that are using two email domains. So, they can send email from e.g. john.smith@companya.com or john.smith@company.com -address. We would need to associate both of these email addresses to one "Contact". I know that we can import the Contacts via CSV, but that doesn't contain the "Alternate Email" -field. Does anyone know how we could do set the Alternate Email -field for multiple users?

Can we import new fonts?
I believe the answer is most likely no. However I can see that if you host ME yourself, you get this feature. So can the on-demand solution do this?
