Automating Azure AD User Import?
Hey all, Has anyone found a way to automate the importing of users from Azure AD to SDP Cloud, or directly to the ESM Directory, as Requesters? Needing to do this manually is rather annoying, so I'm hoping that it's something someone else has been able to figure out
Using SDP+ with E-mails (reloaded)
Hi All, I'd like to reinitiate the discussion on this issue, and also if possible, get an update from the Zoho team about the progress in related feature requests, for eample, as discussed here: https://pitstop.manageengine.com/portal/community/topic/sharing-ticket-conversation-update-with-group-members I understand that SDP+ was designed to be mainly used via the GUI, and that makes perfect sense to me. However, there are several notable cases where using E-mails still makes sense, and i think the
Workflow for Request
Hi, We have a requirement for a process to follow when a certain request is raised, firstly the request needs to be automatically assigned to a certain person, then once they have completed their task, the request is assigned to another person, then once they have completed their task it goes for final approval. Is there a possibility to build a workflow to automate these tasks in this service request? Thanks Tom

Set Standard Subject in SDP CLoud
I would like to know how I can have a Service Desk template that asks for certain information NAME, COMPUTER_NUMBER, etc. and then upon Submit it changes the subject line to something like: Subject: NAME has been assigned computer number: COMPUTER_NUMBER That way, all requests made by that Service Request Template all have the same subject format as well. I did this with Execute Script in form rules with On-Prem, but can't figure out how to do this in the cloud. Thanks,
Dashboard Widget - Requests by Group
I love the new dashboard layout and widgets to create your own. This is working out well for us. However, I've noticed that I don't have a widget to sort "Requests by Group". This would come in really handy for us since I assign tickets by group to most area. Thank you.
View Tasks and Requests on One Screen
Is there a way to see both the requests and tasks that are assigned to you on one screen? Unless I am missing it, my team and I have to check under requests and tasks to see what is assigned.
SDP and Email filtering
Is anyone using the ServiceDesk Plus hosted version with any email content filtering apps like Barracuda, or Mimecast. I would like to hear how you got around the email configuration of the appliance not connecting.
Requesters Close or Resolve their own tickets?
It is possible for a Requester to close or mark Resolved their own request? I've given them edit access of the Status field. However, when creating a request the only option is Open - which I guess makes sense. However, what if a person fixes the issue on their own, and no longer needs the request? I can't seem to find the right access to allow this, unless they are a technician.
[SOLVED] Project gantt should use custom views
I'm trying to figure out how to make use of custom views for the project list when in Gantt view. This would be of great benefit to me as I have around 30 projects in my IT division which then fall under 5 smaller teams that I manage. I have a custom view for each team so I can see just the projects in the list for that team. However, switching to Gantt view is not very helpful as it appears to just show projects for all IT divisions under it and I must manually select all the projects I want to

Setup API Connector with Dell Boomi
Hi there, I am quite new to this API integration thing. I'd like someone to connect with my machine to help me setup the api connector with Dell Boomi.

Email ID's to notify including conversations
Is there a way to have the email ID to notify to be notified or cc:ed for conversations and not just for when a request is created, resolved or closed?
Help with Archiving old requests
I am trying to set up Archiving. I've set it to archive Closed Only, Closed over 1 year ago. So we have heaps of tickets that can archive. But nothing Archives. Am I supposed to set a schedule somewhere. The Help says... "Click on Save button to save the configurations. The archiving process starts at the specified time and repeats after every mentioned period." I'm not sure what it means by "Specified Time". I have not seen anything anywhere that allows me to specify a start and repeat time.

ServiceDesk Plus On Demand API V3 - Error with adding attachment to Request
Hi, I have a problem with adding attachments to requests using the API V3. The attachment seems to be uploaded (status code 200), but it does not appear on the Request screen. It is important that: This is with ME SDP On Demand. When ME SDP On Demand used the earlier API, I could successfully attach files to a Request. Authentication is fine, I can create a request using the API. I suspect that the problem is that (according to the documentation https://www.manageengine.com/products/service-desk/sdpod-v3-api/SDPOD-V3-API.html#add-attachment-to-a-request),
SDP Cloud using one custom field across all modules

[SDP Cloud] Request "On hold" to "Resolved" after X days
Hello Support. We need ServiceDesk Plus Cloud to change automatically the request status from the "On hold" status to "Resolved" after "X" days after the "On hold" ticket has been established. This is an example of what we need: The technician receives a ticket. The technician responds via email to requester and sets the status "On hold" ticket. The user never responds to the requested information. If the user does not respond in less than 5 days, we need the ticket to automatically pass from the
How do I color code my list of tickets based on status
Hi Team, Not sure if this is possible or if it's a feature request, I'd like the list of tickets in the "Requests" tab to be able to be color coded based on the "Status" field. I've added a screenshot below, excuse the awful colors I just threw it in to MS Paint to get the idea across. Is there a way of setting this? Thanks!
API Interface
I am not sure whether this is the correct place to ask or if the question itself is correct. I know API functionality is available in ServiceDesk Plus. Is there an API Interface available separately for ServiceDesk Plus? I think our point is we are trying to integrate ServiceNow and ServiceDesk Plus so there could be transfer of information between the two. I hope my question is clear
Representing Microsoft Enterprise Agreement in Software Asset Management

We have O365 E1 which has license to cloud version of Office We have older version of office that we haven't upgraded yet but will soon. Are we best to use Software Suites and bring in all the older software under the single Software Suite? Anyone gone through this and have some experience to share? Thanks!
Service Desk Plus Inventory Scanner Terrible
Is it me or is the inventory scanner that is part of Service Desk Plus unreliable and doesn't automate enough of the data? I have approximately 340 devices it can't scan or the scan fails. I get the ones that may not be there but some are there and it just can't do what it needs to do. Seems like this utility needs to be rewritten? Anybody using something else to populate the inventory?
CMDB site details
Hi all, I am not sure if I am in the right area but here goes... The company I work for has 50 sites across Australia. Each site has it's own unique equipment and arrangements especially for telecommunications (WAN/Internet/Phone service). Is the CMDB section the right place to track all that, and, if so , how? I cannot see where they have sites listed in CMDB and if that's not a function of this module then it's pretty much useless to me. Basically, I would like to have each site listed, be
SDP On Demand API v3 - Update User
Hello, I am using the following URL to help me update a user: https://ui.servicedeskplus.com/APIDocs3/index.html#update-an-user Is this still the most up to date documentation? I create a ticket via API and the requester is new, so there is no e-mail for the requester yet. So, I was going to find the user with the ID the response gave with the request creation and then update the user email_id. Is this the correct URL to use? PUT https://{URL}/app/itdesk/api/v3/users/{USER ID} The input_data is:
SSO for trusted Domain

Yealink IP Phone scanning
Hi Has anyone successfully managed to get SDP Cloud to scan yealink IP phones into the Asset register? Yealink have removed SNMP function from their phones and I have been unable to create a scan using http on port 80. One of the main reasons we bought SDP was asset management and now it appears a large part of that functionality doesn't exist.
Ticket passing through multiple groups registered in each for reporting purposes
Hello, I have an inquiry to make regarding the possibility of a particular request being able to be registered once for each group it is being assigned to in order for the reporting tables to present each groups workload correctly. I.E. Incoming email parsed, servicedesk creates request, assigns to group1. -> Technician1 of group1 performs actions, assigns to group2. -> Technician2 of group2 preforms actions, returns to group1. (Reported as Resolved for group 2) -> Technician 1 of group1 contacts

Notification on SLA change
Hi, We have the system set so the longest SLA is assigned as default when a request is raised, unless they use the self service portal and set their own SLA. The notification they get sent when the request is opened advises them of the timescales they should receive a response and resolution, however we commonly change the SLA as some requests are under or over prioritised by users. We'd like the updated SLA to be sent to them in a notification, however I can't see where this can be configured,
Change Implementer Role
Hi, We sometimes need to raise changes on behalf of third parties that complete work for us. We'd like the implementer role to be correct but it only gives us the option of Technicians to be the implementer. Is there a way we can add either contacts or people unknown to the system to this field? Thanks Tom
How maintain unique assets via asset management
Hello We are currently considering ServiceDesk Plus EMS in the cloud. I have been reviewing the asset management module and would like to know if it's possible to select different fields as the Primary Key? We want to ensure we do not have duplicate asset entries eg the same mobile phone serial number entered more than once. Initially we plan to import an asset list via a csv file and manually enter assets as we purchase them. We use the serial number and asset number of each asset to ensure uniqueness

Prevent Redundant Request Creation
Hello there, We 're have some trouble on ServiceDesk Pro sdpondemand. The case is that we have multiple groups associated with unique email IDs. (Support Group 1 : group1@support.com, Support Group 2: group2@support.com etc.) Right now when an email is received one ticket is created for each mention of the relevant email IDs in the To: and Cc: fields. For example the retrieval of an email like this: To: group1@support.com; group2@support.com Cc: group3@support.com Will result in three tickets created
Overall performance
We have no issues with sites in general, but the performance of the ServiceDesk Plus Cloud is abysmal. At least a dozen times a day , I need to close and re-open the window because it simply will not load the next page (e.g. "Resolution"). I constantly have to refresh because the pages don't load. For a web service, it just seems incredibly sluggish. I raised a ticket for this before and was just told "everything is working fine". The issue is not specific to my PC - other technicians have bemoaned
