Relationship between request status and the "close" process
When a technician is viewing a request and the "Close" option is chosen from the action menu, the closure window opens as expected prompting for fields like requester acknowledgement, closure code, comments, etc. If the current status of the request is still set as "open", when the this process is used, the status is automatically being updated to "cancelled". Perhaps this is by design, but I'd like to be able to control how the status value is updated when using this "close" procedure. It seem

bug with field authorization
I find a really annoying bug.. On the admin side, i'am creating a service request. on the designer tab, for the field "priority", i set "requester can see". then on the requester tab, i add this field. but when returning to designer tab, the field setting change (i have "requester can see" and "requester can modify"). if i correct the setting, the field disappear on the requester tab, and when i add it again, "bis repetita"... is it an known bug? i also have this problem on a custom field.

Automated API Requests and Notifications
We have setup auto alerts from a nagios monitoring setup. Alerts are automatically submitted via the API for ServiceDesk. However, this also generates an email reply when notify requestor is set. I am not finding any location in which I can select to turn that off. I want to keep notify requestor enabled, however I don't want to get the failed messages error when it tries to send to a NULL email address or to an email address that is non-existant. I don't want to setup a junk box that will receive

Need to report off of Send for Approval
We recently began using the submit for approval process in Service Desk. That functionality works great. My question is how can I report off of that information? I don't see those fields available when I try to create a new report. For auditors we need to be able to give a report detailing that the approvals are being asked for and given (or not). I appreciate any assistance.
Record Lock Requests
when a request is being viewed/edited can the system lock out other technicians from viewing/editing the requests? Or is it possible to incorporate a warning message to advise that a technician is viewing the record?

Sort work logs by execution time.
Is there any way to sort the work logs by the execution time, rather than creation time? It would just be useful to get the chronology of what has been done on a complex request in the correct order.
Confusion surrounding departments
Hello, I am having some difficulty understanding how SDP handles departments. I have imported all of our requesters from AD and had it pull in the requesters and their departments. I see that when I pull up a requester's record, it does show them in the correct department. However, that is only in the "Requester Details" section. Under "Request Details" it still says that the department is "Not Assigned" even though the ticket is for the requester which accurately states which department she

Measuring Response Time
Does anybody kow how to reliably measure response times. ATM the only reports I can find displays the automatic system generated email (that acknowledges receipt of the request) as the response time. As it's only a second later it's not a suitable measure. I'm still a little bit surprised that only resolution SLAs are being tracked, but maybe that's because nobody knows how to measure the response time. I want to know when my technicians first added a note or a work log. An email from the system
How to stop SDP scanning disabled computer accounts?
Is there anyway to stop SDP scanning certain computer accounts, or to ensure than automatic scans only scanned selected OUs? I've got a few assets that I do not want adding to SDP, but the automatic scan keeps putting them back in, and then I get licensing messages when trying to add new workstations. One other very good reason for doing this - the computer account for pass-through authentication keeps getting added to my list of assets! :(

Asset visibility
Good morning, I was wondering if it is possible to delegate control of asset managemt (e.g. add, modify, deletion end visibility) of asset depending of tecnician site, region or group. At the moment we would like to split network asset management from the rest, but everybody who access to the assett part has access and visibilty of everything. Is it possible to change this behaviour? Thank you

Software Manufacturers
Hi all, I am using the latest version of SDP (8003), and I am having a problem with "Manufacturers" (mandatory field). These are recognized when a workstation is scanned and automatically added to the database. But it turns out that software manufacturers not always use a standard name, so you will end up with something like "Adobe Systems", "Adobe Inc." "Adobe Incorporated", all of them being the same! and having software linked to them. SDP 8 does not allow to change/edit the name of the manufacturer

We want to require notes to be added to a ticket before it can be closed, whether incident, problem, or request. If this is possible I am not finding any documentation on how, and the settings do not leave anything to hint that it is at all possible. Any experience or work around would be appreciated!

Inaccurate "Processor Name" in Assets Report
Now that we've finally updated to SD 8.0 Build 8009, we're testing out the Asset Inventory module. One of the things we've come across is that the CPUs in some of our modern HPs like our HP DC5800's with Core2Duo being reported as Intel Pentium III Xeon processor and HP 3130Pros with Core i5 being reported as Intel Pentium II processor. Clearly this isn't accurate. However, one of our HP laptops that has a Core i5 in it DID get reported properly. There's a few other fields that aren't
SDP - New Incident - Select Assets - Add Column Customizer option
Hi, When using SDP, I've noticed that when a user creates a new incident and tries to select an asset, corresponding with the incident, only Asset Name column is available for view. I find this very confusing, as if Asset Name is just a general name with a running number (in my case barcode scanners are named TZ-BSCAN01, TZ-0BSCAN02, TZ-BSCAN03 and so on) it is impossible for the end user to figure out which one he needs to select (in my configuration, assets are assigned to a department, rather
Duplicate requesters / users being created
Hi Everyone, I have found some weird issue for our install of Service Desk 8. We have a domain, we'll call it domain1, that is setup to allow active directory pass through. All of our requesters were imported from it when we were using service desk 7. Their domain shows domain1. Now though when a user submits a ticket, it creates a new user rather than using the existing requester. Example of an existing requester: First Name: Example Last Name: User Username: EUser. Domain: domain1. Email address:

Query for specific technician response performance
Hello, I've been asked to pull a report on how quickly a technician is able to resolve/close (or reassign) tickets that have been assigned to them. Specifically, the requirements need a report broken out by technician that provides the total number of tickets for the last year and what percentage of those tickets were either resolved, closed, or reassigned within 24 hours of that ticket actually being assigned to that technician. I'm not too interested in when the ticket was actually opened, but
