Report Problems
We cannot run reports for any other period except current month. When we put in a range, no data is found. It seems that it only sees data for the current period. Also, when we run reports for "last week" or "this week" the numbers are not correct.
How can users email requests without using the web portal?

Being able to edit the exsisting asset labels would be very beneficial .... for example product name and asset name and category would all be the same thing for me but if i was able to call them brand and model and model number that would be awesome. BTW fantastic product guys, the support is what makes it fantastic. Thankyou :)
Service Desk server will not start
I'm running the demo version of Service Desk and it will not start. I figured it was because my trial license had expired so I got a new one, but that wasn't it. When I try to start the SD server it seems like it's trying to start, then it just stops progressing. I've tried starting it from the start menu as well as from run.bat I can supply the log files if need be. Thanks, Megan
Attaching new/deleting old files to Contracts
Once a contract is assigned, how do you (1) add new files to it once it is saved, and (2) delete a file that is attached. Also, files attached do not open. They must be saved to your machine and then opened...why?

Email Submission Field Names
I am successfully using the email submission feature in SD5. I would like to be able to specify fields to be SD5 that need to be populated from the generated email. Are there keywords that i can use to allow a field called workstation for example place its data in the workstation field of SD5? For example I notice that the Subject of the e-mail becomes the requesters name. This will enable me to create a form that submits via e-mail and creates a sutible looking request within SD5.

Close Request after entering Solution
Hi there, Here another suggestion: When entering a solution, in the panel "Tasks" on the right the action "Close Request" is available. When clicking on "Close Request" the entered solution is not being saved, so you have to save the solution first, then close the request. It would be nice if the entered solution will be saved too when clicking "Close Request" from the "Tasks" panel. Or maybe put a checkbox "Close Request" above the "Save" button, if the checkbox is checked and the button "Save"

Possible integration within IIS
We run ServiceDesk on a server that is accessible from the internet via https:. We do not have control over the firewall that provides our internet connection. Since it currently only allows port 443 to the server, we are unable to access ServiceDesk from outside of our network as it runs on port 8081. We also have IIS running on this server which of course is serving websites on port 80. Is there way to integrate ServiceDesk so that a sub-domain and URL can be used to access ServiceDesk on port

How can the requester conversate with the technician?
Hello, when viewing a request as a technician, the taskpanel shows 'E-mail the technician'. This mail will be added to the conversation history. But when viewing a request as a requester, the 'E-mail technician' task is not available. How can the requester send some extra info to the technician from SD? (In a way the mail will be logged in the conversation history ) Kind regards, Luc Janssen

Is there anyway to import assets from the altiris inventory system? /Martin
Requestor Details
When you go and look at a new request the phone number in the requestor details defaults to their mobile number and not the actual internal telephone number. If there is no mobile number then it defaults to their internal number. All the details have been correctly imported from the AD we just want it to default to their internal number and if we want their mobile number to look under view requestor details not the other way around. How can I change this? Regards David
