Automatic report on last day of the month
Hi, at the moment I can only set the monthly Schedule on day 30 or 31 (or 28/29 for February). Months without a 31st day are skipped when I select "On 31 day" and when I select "On 30 day" my report isn't complete because it's missing a day. So at the moment I have to change it each month. It would be nice to have an option "On last day of the month". Thanks in advance!

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),

How to log in to ME SDP App?
Hi Team, I'm looking at using the Android SDP app, but when I try to set the server name I see "Error: Could not connect to the server".

[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

Import from Azure is blank
Hello, The Import from Azure feature seems to have stopped working for us. I am not sure what has caused it since our SSO still works fine. I log in using my O365 credentials to the helpdesk as an Admin and when I hit the import from azure function, it comes up blank where it used to find the newest employees that I had not added yet. I have tried this in incognito mode just to be sure. Where can I begin to sort this out?
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?
Conversation reply to retain email thread
Looking for a way for IT to communicate with our user community strictly through ME, however our user community will be using Outlook to receive and reply to messages. With a technician clicks Reply on a ticket, it sends a message containing only that message. Adding $Description doesn't include the conversation thread. Does anyone have any thoughts?
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

service tag and warrenty expiry seem to be randomly failing on showing in asset list
currently using https://sdpondemand.manageengine.com for ticketing and asset management noticed there seems to be an ongoing issue where the probing does not seem to be detecting the assets on the domain. in this case not all laptops and desktops are showing with a service tag or expiry date. is there a quick solution to resolve this without having to manually type out the service tags for the machines ?
Cloud SD with on-prem AD objects integration
Hello to all, I'm new to this product, but I have a client that right now is using the on-prem version of SD Plus and the license will expire soon. He does not want to renew, instead he wants to go for your cloud version. I have a few question before I start to learn the software a bit: 1. Can the existing database (on-prem) be migrated into your cloud version of the product? 2. How will the Active Directory computers show up/be sync in the management console (assets I guess)? Using agents on computers,
Sorting Requests
Hello, we just moved to the cloud version of SDP and I can't seem to sort requests in the same way I used to. I used to be able to sort by technician then date within the my open/unassigned view, now I can only sort by one or the other. I tried a custom view, but that doesn't have any options for sorting. Am I missing something? Thank you Elonna

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
We are trying to configure access to our HelpDesk for users from new asset with separate ActiveDirectory Domain. We already have configured SSO using ADFS 2.0 in our main domain for access to HelpDesk and configured two way trust between our AD. So, now we need to provide the access for users from new asset from trusted domain. How we can do this or what options do we have?

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
Ensuring the Resolution field is populated before setting Status to Resolved
Hi there, I'm configuring our SDP (Cloud) and when creating a test ticket I noticed that I am able to resolve the ticket without anything written in the Resolution field. I would like to ensure that the Resolution field is populated before our Technicians are able to mark a ticket as Resolved. I'm sure it's probably a very straightforward setting change, but for the life of me I can't find it in the documentation I've looked through. Could someone please advise? Thanks, Amy
Assigning and finishing tasks from service/incident requests for normal users
Hello guys, I've asked the question already through the build-in help function of SDPOndemand. I've decided to also post it here, because we had an internal discussion about it. It's about tasks that can be set up on service/incident requests. Currently only an 'owner' can be set, which are only technicians. This in itself hinders and limits the application of SDPOndemand significantly in our opinion: individual tasks are 99% of the time relatively small tasks that have to be accomplished by a single

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
