Categorys
I have noticed with the new release that there is the option to have sub-categorys and item fields when logging calls. We do not need that function and would like to only have the top level and possibly the sub levels only. How can I turn off the item field? thanks Pete

EDIT/View custom reports....
I can create an alert, then later return to the alert to tune or view the alert settings. However, I am unable to find a way to view the settings for individual reports. It would be much easier to modify small settings within a report than to re-create the report from memory and try to implement the changes. Am I missing something in the interface or is there not a way to view/edit report parameters
MSSQL monitoring
Hello everyone, i wonder if someone have ever done these 2 MSSQL related monitoring with App Manager. There already a bunch of pre-defined monitoring attributes, but unfortunately, two very important for us are missing. Maybe it's a lack of knowledge from us with the App. Manager application, or they're simply not available. I already post the software dev. team to have these 2 new features. Here what we're looking for: MSSQL alert log monitoring: Like Oracle database, it's important to keep an eye

Frustration with categories
I have been trying to add some additional subcategories and items but constantly get the issue where nothing happens when you hit the "save" button. I just tried deleting another sub category after trying to add one all day, the deleted category was marked inactive at first. When I then tried to add the other category again it worked but the category I deleted came back as active again 1. Is there a limit to the amount of categorys, sub-category's and items you can have. 2. Can you explain the above
truncated name in server map MSP 6003
Hi, We're using MSP 6003. In Customer View I see the complete name of our servers, for instance: abecol01.cehave.local.chvlbbprobe In most other maps the name is truncated, for instance in the server map in details view i can only see: abecol01.cehav... Although there's enough space for the complete name. Can i customize this in MSP so that we always see the complete name? Thanks in advance Ari van Asseldonk

Good morning I am trying out PassTrix at the moment, if we are to buy the software we will need to be able to backup the database. Is there a way to do this in the application or do I need something like MySQL admin. If it is the latter how do I set it up. Thanks Alan
Reports Customization
2 Problems: 1. we want to make all the reports look the same (the customer reports vs custom reports vs etc) are all formatted differently (different borders, logos, text, etc). How can we go about homogenizing the format? 2. We need to adjust the sizes of the reports so they print out on a standard 8.5"x11" piece of paper! (i.e. PDF version of custom reports is getting cut-off along the right hand margin) Without adjusting print settings and adjusting borders, etc, is there a conf file for adjusting

Importing information from AD
Although SD6 made the changes to allow selective information get import from Active Directory, but it seems to me it only works for 'Requestor'. When I import from AD and select 'email' only, the 'Requestor' behave correctly but 'Department' information still get populated across, not to the 'Requestor' but to the 'Department'. Not sure if there is a way to stop populating 'Department' information from AD or not. And, are there anyway to perform a 'bulk' update to 'Requestor' say update a list of
NOTE to technican
Requestor can submit NOTES to technican, but the technican will only receive an email saying there is a NOTE for a particular log number, and they need to go and search for them log, open it and look for the NOTE. Will it be easier for the technican is we can customize the NOTES to include the URL link of the log in order to make the whole process more efficient. KL
Insufficient audit for the approval process
SD6 has got approval function in it, but the problem I can see is both the approver and the technican can approve the request, and there are no audit showing 'exactly' who approved it. KL

FeatureRequest: Enhanced WO-States
Maybe you can integrate in one of your next releases some more possibilities for the Ticket-State. I really would like to see two "closed" possibilities (as maybe somebody already seen in OTRS). - closed successfully - closed unsuccessfully This maybe helps in analyzing the requests... At present it's possible to edit the states. But i'm not shure if its possible to create these items in the current release. thanks F.

Requestor gives approval if the given solution is acceptable
After the technician solves a problem, the requestor will check if the solution is OK. If his problem is solved know, the requestor will need to close the request. Is this possible in the current 6 version? Or can only the technician close a request. If so, is there a workaround known.
