Only allow ticket owner to close ticket
We are using tickets with multiple tasks assigned to various people. The ticket owner is ultimately responsible for ensuring the work is done and closing the ticket. Currently anyone that is assigned a task under the ticket can close the ticket. Is there a rule that I can set to make sure that only the ticket owner can close the ticket? Thanks
My Approvals widget: hide requests not assigned to user
Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to show in the "My approvals" widget only the request approvals a user has assigned to. Example: 1. requester1 adds a request 2. the request has as the only approver: approver1 3. email is sent to approver1 4. approver1 can see the request in My Approvals widget and approve it 5. also approver2 can see the request in the widget but can't approve it. it says "Invalid key" as expected It's possible to hide in the widget the requests an approver can't approve?
Survey Email
I'm trying to customize the email that SDP sends to users after a ticket is closed. I want to add in the email the Request ID, Title, Created Date and Technician. I've edited the survey as seen below. However, when the email is sent only the $RequesterName is working, the other values do not populate with information from the ticket. Please let me know if 1) I'm doing this wrong or 2) this cannot be done. Thank you. Dear $RequesterName, Please help us improve our service by completing this short
[SOLVED] Ticket resolved getting closed
Hi. Since last update we have something new happening. When a technician has set a ticket to status resolved, and the requester closes the ticket, the technician gets an email, which just says the ticket is updated. Nothing more. Where can i either disable this email notification, or modify it with a better message? //Jens
Notification bell dropdown - add request subject
Hi, At the moment the dropdown from the notification bell lists items in the form: " Request ID <<>> is appended with requester reply" I think it would be useful if the request subject was included as well. In my environment technicians get emails when requests are updated, and so don't rely on the notification bell for primary updates. As such, when looking at the notification bell list it is not possible to tell from memory which items you have already seen and which you haven't (unless you can

[SOLVED] ManageEngine ServiceDesk Optimization
Good day! Recently, I updated ManageEngine ServiceDesk from 9300 to the latest version 10016. It began to slow down a bit. I found out with the help of the developer’s tools, that in the browser it was trying to access port 8081 on https 443, what kind of port it is, can it be turned off. If I redirect it to 443 on my proxy, will this break some functionality? The second question, I remember earlier, was a certain guide, according to recommendations for setting parameters for java, but it touched

Deleting users with exchange accounts in AD Manager
I have an interesting issue. When I am delete users out of AD Manager that have exchange accounts it is marking the last update in AD for that user as an exchange user. I noticed this when a ran a recently deleted user report out of AD Audit. The accounts I am deleting are showing as an exchange account instead of my username. Is this by design or do I need to not delete the exchange accounts when removing users from AD and manually go to the server to remove them. See attached image. I removed this

[SDF-41306] Notification email update from CC user
When a user emails a reply to a request who is not the requestor, is there a variable I can use in the technician notification template for the person that sent the email? All I can find are variables for the requester. As configured it always looks like the requester sent the update and not the person that actually sent the email.
SSO and non-SSO-login
Good Day, I am using service desk plus on demand and I implemented SSO in our domain. It also does work fine as long as you are a user of the domain. However when trying to access the Self-Service-Portal from outside the domain I receive the "NTLM Failed Redirecting To Login Page..." error. Is there any possibility to go directly to the normal login page when accessing the Portal from outside the domain? This would be great since we have customers in our domain but also outside of it. Thank you very

Feature Request: Notification on CR modification
We'd like the ability to notify a Change Owner when their change request has been modified/updated by another role within the ticket. This notification would improve speed and acceptance with the change process. In our environment, the Change Owner manages the change through its' lifecycle but does not necessarily enter all the ticket details. They rely on team members to enter certain fields/areas and coordinate with multiple members in order to move the change ahead. A similar notification is
Admin > Technicians is really slow to load
We're using 10016. Ever since we've had SDP, whenever we go to Admin > Technicians and do anything (viewing, saving, editing, etc.), everything is super slow. Like at least one minute to perform each action. Is this a known issue? Does anyone else have this issue? I contacted support about this probably a year or two ago and they weren't able to reproduce it so it has remained unresolved. Thanks.

[SOLVED] Delete History, Trash Can, Undo
Hi, I'd like to propose the idea of adding a trashcan like feature. When a request gets deleted, there's basically 0 trace of it left in the ServiceDesk Plus portal. This becomes an issue if/when a request is accidentally deleted. I'd like to suggest any/all of the following features: -Add trashcan where requests go to when deleted - (one can empty the trashcan to permanently delete and/or the trashcan automatically empties after a certain time period) -Add an undo delete feature - (in case a

Change Site with Business Rules
Is it possible to create a business rule which will modify the site a ticket is assigned to? As our organization grows we have more users who are working across multiple sites. When these users submit a ticket (via email fetch) the business rules we established to assign a group/technician fail because the ticket is forced into the users site which the necessary group/technician does not have access to. Any help would be appreciated as it is very time consuming to adjust and assign these tickets
