All Assets and Managed Software by Full User name
I've seen some queries here that were close, but not exactly what I'm hoping to produce: Would like a report organized by User (full name, not login name) that lists ALL assets assigned to that user, as well as only "managed" type software loaded on their machines. Thanks much!
Uneditable a request assigned to a technician
Hi, A request assigned to a technician in a group can be edited by other technicians in the group. How can I prevent this from happening? I want when a request is assigned to a technician, that technician can make fields of that request uneditable for other technicians, and other technicians can only view the request or define a work log. Thanks.
Mac Remote Control
Is anyone having a good experience with Desktop Central Mac agents? I have installed it on a test computer in my environment and am having nothing but frustration. Remote control is extremely flaky, the computer shows offline even though I can ping it from the server and vice versa, and then suddenly it will be back online, but only for a few minutes. This is a LAN machine and I'm not having similar issues with PCs.
[Tips & Tricks] Auto-assign when a technician edits an unassigned ticket
Scenario: One of our customers had come up with a requirement that when a technician edits an unassigned/unpicked ticket, the ticket should get auto-assigned to him. This is to ensure that the ticket doesn't go unnoticed and handle the ticket assignment better. Solution: A simple custom script, $CS.setText("TECHNICIAN",sdp_user.USERNAME); This has to be configured as a global field and form rule with the condition Technician is not specified, then execute the script.

[SDF-70628] Adding approvals after request beeing Closed
Hi, It seems to me that after going to a Completed status like "Resolved" or "Closed" status, it is possible to add new approvals (and stages) on that request. Shouldn't it be disabled by default? I can remove it from the Actions menu (Submit for Approval) or remove the Actions menu itself with a script on Page Scripts but, if the request has got an approval process, I can't disable the "Add Stage" or "Add" approval buttons. Is it possible? Thanks, Pedro

Wrong Asset attached to request
Anytime a request is submitted, the request will select and add the first asset that is assigned to that person alphabetically. Most of the time this doesn't help us because it will select a printer or monitor. It just goes off of the name of the asset. Most of our users are assigned only one IT Asset and a few NON IT Assets. Is there a way to have the Asset Field ONLY pull their IT Asset when a request is created? This means it will almost always be their computer that is added to the request.

Firstly, is there a difference between the terms Acknowledge

With the build 11123, a new enhancement has been released in ServiceDesk Plus that allows users to cancel a request. A request can be canceled for several possible reasons. For example, the wrong items were requested or the requested items are no longer wanted or needed. Rather than deleting a request, canceling a request provides two important possibilities: 1.

Windows 10 versions out of order?
I've noticed that the pie chart of Windows 10 versions (on the Patch Management homepage) is out of order and I think I finally figured out why. It appears to be displaying the versions from right to left instead of left to right. I would expect the versions to go couter-clockwise around the chart in this order: 1607, 1703, 1709, 1803, 1809, 1903, 1909. Instead it goes 1703, 1803, 1903, 1607, 1709, 1809, 1909. If you reverse the digits you get 3071, 3081, 3091, 7061, 9071, 9081, 9091, which is in

Automatically remove entries in the CC field from a request
Hi, We would like to see a feature for automatically removing entries in the CC field from a specific requester. Explanation: We have a customer that sends request to us, and also in every request CC's a lot of people and distribution groups that also needs to know about the ticket created. When we communicate with the customer, it's easy to forget to manually remove all the CC's, so it gets sent out to many people and groups who don't need to see the conversation. Also, if we set the ticket to "Resolved",
Date format in query reports
Hi All, Currently running SDP 11120, Postgres SQL (installed via SDP installer) Since upgrading from SDP version 9, one of my query reports isn't working, as it looks to_char in select statement isn't supported anymore, causing an error when trying to run the report (attached).

As this will improve the security of the agent by giving access to better ciphers, is there any current or planned support for ECDHE by the agent? I was unable to test whether or not it
