A request for service desk : Assigning Assets to Department
Hi, in our company we have departments out through various locations that have the same name. So when we want to assign an asset (such as Netscreen/ or a switch) we want to assign it to a department not a certain user for obvious reasons. However, when you have departments with the same name you have no idea where the asset belong to. I was wondering if you guys can add asset allocation for Location or have it so when you select a department it also displays the location of that department?? It would
Rename or remove the "Personalize" link in the use
We've had customers complain that the "Personalize" link at the top of the SD+ screen is confusing. You can't really personalize anything except your password, and I'm not sure why we'd want them to do that, except to change a password that a technician set for them upon setup of their account in SD+. Can you remove that, or rename it to say "Password change" or simply "Password"? Justin
No visible way to change languages!
Hi there. This is the n-th time I install the free version of SDP. I've eliminated all the c:\adventnet\... folders before installing it once again. I am working with an English Windows 2003 Server as a host, and the fresh download installed a 5010 version, no patches needed. Well, in the "Personalize" menu, there is no option to change the Display Language! And except for the welcome screen, that obeys the selected language in the browser, the rest of the screens are in plain English... Tried to

What exactly do the last two digits in the time mean?
The time is recorded as a 12 digit number in SD+. The first 10 digits represent the epoch time (# of seconds from Jan 1, 1970). What do the last two digits represent? Justin

History and repeals of PO process actions
I'd like to suggest that a history be kept for PO actions (approval, who edited it, etc). But we need a way to "undo" an accidental denial of a PO, when it was intended to be an approval. Justin
Need History for PO process
We need to have a History of the purchase order process just like there's a history tab for the requests. This way we can see where a PO is being stalled at. Thanks, Justin
new version
The new reporting module is a great improvement on the previous version, but you still cannot select any field you want in the 'Custom Report' area. I want to create reports that can (if required) give details of the support call and resolution notes. There is no option to include these fields. Can you please give the option to have any field please. thanks PEter
Spellchecker - this may have been asked before
Can we have a spellchecker in SD+ please? Thanks
Servicedesk / Opmanage Integration
We're having some trouble getting Opmanage to generate tickets for Servicedesk. Is there a document somewhere that details how to do this? It appears to be set up correctly, but tickets will not generate.
Custom reports needed for contracts and purchase orders
There's a need to have modules for custom reports on contracts and purchase orders so that we can get an idea of what kind of expenses are coming up in the next 1 month, 3 mos, 6 mos, 1 year. I know there's been prior reports saying that we want reports that go out further than a few days or weeks, but apparently this is slightly different, with the desire to have custom reports implemented, not just notifications of upcoming expirations, etc. We'd want to see dates, contract title, cost, sorted,

Customising the request portal
Hi guys. Is it possible to customise what the user sees on the way "in"? We do not want them to see the workstation field in SD+ as they a) don't know the answer and b) then pick what they think is the answer. In most cases we have not logged their workstation and in other cases they are calling us about equipment that is other than PC - i.e. a telecomms issue. It would be good to be able to stop them seeing the workstation field. Thanks.
Is there a way to have users see Request#'s by default?
With notifications going back and forth, it's sometimes helpful for techs and users to be able to see the request #'s by default. Is there a way to set it up so that all users will have the request ID's shown by default in their list of requests? As it is, I have to document how to add this, and some of the users are not well versed in following complex instructions. Justin
Deleted requests
IS there any way to get back a request if it is accidentally deleted?? I don't want to restore an old version of the database because it will be too old......

job numbering
Hi guys, my company is looking at implemeting SD as its helpdesk solution but only if it is possible to automatically add our reference numbers to the calls. i.e. instead of the standard call1,2,3 etc we us something along the lines of 06F4,06F5,06F7 etc..... Is it possible to get SD to generate these codes or at least for us to be able to add them to the jobs? Cheers
Applying a Solution to a Request should count as a "Vie
After a Solution is applied to a request, this should increment the number "Views" on that Solution. This will more accurately reflect how many times the Solution has been used and how popular it is.
Can we have a checkbox (with history) of phone followups?
We're required to follow up by phone with every person who submits a ticket, both at the beginning and end of a ticket life cycle. (yes, a LOT of hand holding). Is it possible to have checkboxes that can be clicked at the beginning and ending (closing) of a ticket? Justin

How are our users going to access Service Desk Plus program?
Page defaults to lower half in requesters
When changing details for a requester I have noticed that you click on a requester and instead of the page refreshing and showing you the details it shows you the bottom half of the page, where the help information is. Would be better if it showed you the top half of the page so you could edit the requester information Also have noticed that the link on this forum still does not work correctly, when you click on the support tab and clikc on service desk forums it goes into the Service deks forum

User home screen search on right side generates errors
A customer tried to use the big search box on the right hand side of the requester home page to search for something, and no matter what she put in, she got an error message. Error: Object expected Code: 0 URL: http://tasc/HomePage.do It's not seen when you use the left side search. Sometimes errors would pop up and then take you to the results. Justin
Articles not seen unless you log in
From the main forum, you cannot select the articles and see them until after you've logged in. Is this an intended method of operation? I'm using firefox. This was working fine a week or so ago, but it seems to have been locked down again. Justin
Forward option
Greetings I think that forward message should be visible in the history tab and conversation regards Bart

In the requests entry box, there's a priority entry pull down menu. The problem is that "Select Priority" shows up as an option, when it should only have the selections we want them to see. The Location pull down menu doesn't work either. Justin
Custom report: lack of Mode,Status,Compl.Date & other fi
Hi, Our company is running SupportCenter Plus version 5.0 (build number 5008). I have customised the Support WebSite by furnishing it with request additional fields. Then I created new custom report out of it. My new custom fields can be selected on the report, this is fine, but there is no way (or I just can�t see it�) to include in this report some of generic fields like below: Status Completed date Severity Mode Time Spent There are there, I can see them on each and every request viewed separately,
'Link to Solution' in Resolution
Copying the text of a solution verbatim into a resolution each time it is used seems like needless duplication and a waste of database space in most cases. In addition to being able to search the solutions and then select 'Copy to resolution', there should be another button that just copies the hyperlink to the selected solution into the resolution. Currently, our workaround for this is to copy the hyperlink to the desired solution, go back to the original request, manually enter the resolution as:
