re open a closed ticket=>wrong time spent
Hi, Ticket logged at 4pm on MON, and closed at 5pm on MON, will show as taking 1 hour . But the requester replies to the email "notification when the request is closed" 3 days after (to say thank you for exemple) then the request is re-open (automaticaly). so the technician re-closed the request and then the request will shows as taking 31hours (the service is open 10 hours per day) instead of 1 hour and 1 minute. Is there a way to have the good time spent on the request ? thanks sorry for my english
adding request additional fields in notifications
how can we add requests additional fields in notification?
Add Time Entry
In some requests the "Add Time Entry" button does nothing when you click on it. I have tried but cannot see a any difference between some of the requests in which this does not work and most of the others in which it does. Also some requests don't show the start/stop timer action link on the right. I know its probably something obvious - but can someone tell me what it is?

Attachments problems
Hi all, I'm using the 5003 build and I found some issues regarding the attachments. First of all, on Solutions, the only file types that I'm able to open (after attached) are .HTML or .ZIP files. If I attach a .DOC file and try to open it directly, I receive a page that says "The File was not found". Other issue is regarding the file size, that it sounds be limited by 3 MB. Is there an option to increase this limit? Best regards, Fernando
Request ID gone from number 10 to 301 on new installation
We have just stated to use service desk plus and the request id suddenly went from no 10 and then the next was 301. Would have been nice to continue on from 10. Data in mysql also indicates 1-10 then number 301 onwards. Any reason why and if so can this be corrected to flow on from 10
contracts
I'm currently using build 5001. It would be nice if contracts were sorted or sortable by contract "to date". Currently they are sorted alphabetically which gets unusable pretty fast. It would also be very useful to have a report for contracts. For example, I have to manually compile all the contracts expiring in the upcoming quarter and enter them in Excel, sort them by end date, format, etc. Thanks. Dave

Identical users for one workstation?
Hi, We are currently in the progress of testing the ServiceDesk environment for use in the corporate system. You can scan the whole network for workstations and the matching users.

Now if I filter the view for that particular queue the request appears in the list which is correct. However if I now view the details of that request, the Request tab shows "Queue : Not Assigned" instead of the name of the queue the request is assigned to. Every request that is assigned to a queue show this "Queue

solution search do not support for Chinese characters
I found SDP cannot search Chinese characters. In fact, the solutions are almost in Chinese in china. If the search can not support for Chinese characters, it means SDP has no use for china user. (at least, the search function is so). So, we hope SDP can support for Chinese characters completely.
