User Survey - More Information Please
I think it would be good to allow more information in the email sent out when requesting a requestor completes a survey. Especially with key requestors, they may have a number of calls at any one time. Being able to choose to put in the name of the technician, call ID, call subject, etc, into the email template would help in this case. The current situation, where a requestor's survey responses are allocated against the technician that resolved the problem that generated the survey request, can
Automatic Approvals
I am using a demo of the SDP, and I would like to know if there is any form of Automatic Approvals? For Example: I have a user that requests to have Visio 2010 installed onto their computer. Because it is an additional cost for that software, I need to have her Manager's Approval. I would like to be able to set up a CATEGORY called Software, and Sub Category called Software Install/Request. When the user selects these categories, I would like to know if it is possible to AUTOMATICALLY

Problem before change domain controller
Sorry, bad Write-English, but good Read. Input: 1) AD enviroment (AD authorization, no SSO) 2) Change hostname DC and forest/domain level Windows 2003 Native (hosts x86) -> Windows 2008 R2 (hosts x64). 3) Before point 2 in SD+ (v7.6) not working domain authorization. 4) I have tried to solve the problem as in the FAQ - reset local admin account & change hostname DC, but AD-authorize local authentication is disabled. 5) I try edit database (MS SQL 2005) for change hostname DC - ок, but in SD+ appeared
Category Permissions
I was wondering is there any way permissions can be set on request and solution categories, if not could this be a future feature? We want to be able to move old requests(eg. from last year) to a separate category and do not want requesters to be able to see them. We also have a technician in a different department that uses service desk who needs to enter their own solutions and view, edit, etc, but we do not want them to see our solutions as their maybe information we do not want them to see.
Custom Fields
I think SDP needs some more Customesfields for templates. 1. Checkboxes / Radiobuttons So Requestes can check someoptions and with businessrules the correct group get the requests. 2. Cascading Textboxes Like the cathegory/subcathegory/element field , there should be a possibility to create such cascades in the templates, it would make things much easier.

Purchasing Module in SDP: Do you use it?
I'm curious how many of you actually use the Purchasing Module in SDP. When it comes to helpdesk tickets I'm comfortable with making SDP work. But purchasing...is something new for me. To make it even worse my management team is like SDP has a Purchasing module, let's use it! Our billing team is still keeping track of purchases with an Excel spreadsheet, let's move them over and start tracking purchases in SDP. Well...on one hand this is great for me as it means job security. On the other hand...I

Hello, I have small problem with Service Desk Plus. I had a serviceman account in SDP and for his account was created report which was send at 8th in each month.

Database Setup Wizard doesn't change username
