Global View Graphs not working
On the Global View - the graph for "This Week" is not working. All other graphs show up fine and without delay. "This Week" will either show as a blank box or will not change from the previously viewed graph. We are running SD+ Version 5.5.0, Service Pack 5502. Thanks.
Database fields and Application fields should match in SDP asset application
I've noticed that the field names associated with assets in many cases do not match between the application screens, export screens, import screens and database. (For example, is it an "Asset Name" or a "Resource Name"?) I would like to see continuity throughout the application and database. Anyone else?
Omitting custom fields from the Bulk Edit Requests box.
When changing the details of multiple requests, you also get all the custom fields that are set up for requests. This is the page - BulkEditRequest.do Is it possible to mark custom fields so they are not included in this screen? (In database terms it should be pretty easy - add a field to the Custom Field to omit this field from display, and a change to the Multiple Changes page query for which fields it displays, but what do I know? :) ) We plan on using templates with lots of custom fields (lots
Reporting on SLA's in SD7 Enterprise
Reports very poor for actually running a service desk! I need to produce reports showing how the desk has performed against it's published SLA's for the various functions.

Restore Issue - 7611
Good morning, I'm attempting to restore a database file from our live SDP server to a DR SDP install. The Live server is running a SQL 2008 database, while the DR site is using MYSQL.

Selfmade notification rules
There should be a possibility to create you whole own notification rules. For example you have 10 diffrent groups that all should get diffrent Emails for diffrent Requests and Problems. So group A ist just doing Router stuff, group B just VoIP stuff and so on. Well with the actual possibility of the notification rule system it is not possible to do so. Sorry if my English isn't the best att all, but I hope you do understand what I mean. Best Regards Thomas
Queue System implementation
There should be a queue system in Servicedesk Plus and Service Desk Plus MSP. For exmaple you have 5 or more diffrent departments in you company and each department works on diffrent Problems or requests etc, then it would be very usefull, that you have tohe possiblity to send the ticket in the queue of the diffrent departments. If you see it this way: Department A works just on Routers, Department B works just with VoIP and so an, then those departments should not be albe to see, what is going on
Link to Merged request should point to the new request ID
When a request is created, an email is sent to the person creating the request. e.g. http://helpdesk/WorkOrder.do?woMode=viewWO&woID=1000 A second request is later created with a link of: http://helpdesk/WorkOrder.do?woMode=viewWO&woID=1500 These two requests are merged. Both these links above should link to the Merged request (ID 1000) However, the second link does not work as the request no longer exists. My request is that the software allows both these links to open the merged job.

Hiding conversations from requestors.
Is there a way to hide conversations from requesters? Specifically conversations not related to the requester. Thanks, Mark
New Purchase
In requests there are options to create a New Problem and a New Change. How about also having an option to create a new Purchase Order? Requests quite regularly result in the purchasing of new equipment and linking to the PO to track progress would be great.
Out Of Office Email
Whenever someone has an Out Of Office auto reply to something, like to a new Solution notification email, Service Desk Plus logs a new job. How do I stop Out Of Office emails being logged as new jobs? It's ok when they are added to existing jobs as that is useful information. I just don't wan tthem logged as new jobs.

Don't flag laptops that fail scans every day! They're just out!
I get a worryingly high number of failed scans showing up every day on the Assets view because the machine is a laptop and is currently out of the office. Is it possible to set workstations so it will only flag them (and add them to the "Workstations Failed During Scan" total) if there has never been a successful scan (as the settings/credentials may be wrong) or if it fails a predefined number of scans after a successful scan? Is there also any way to have a "last successful scan date/time" field
Permissions for one group to assign another group tickets
Is there a way to adjust persmissions where members of a group can only assign tickets to another group and not to individuals. We have members of our Help Desk that assign tickets to individuals of a tier 2 group instead of the group itself. The problem is that the person they assign it to may be on vacation and the ticket won't get looked at until they return. I would like to prevent that from happening.

Report for open requests older than 3 months
Hi all, I am trying to develop a report that will show any open requests older than 3 months old since created. I want it to be automated so will need to use a getdate function of some sort. I wrote a query in SQL that works well converting the createddate value to yyyy-mm-dd but doesn't work in ServiceDesk. In ServiceDesk I have tried using the datetolong function but it returns an error saying longtodate not closed properly. Here is the SQL query that works in MSSQL - SELECT wo.WORKORDERID "Request

List all requests by a specific user
Is there an easy way to show all requests by a specific user? Currently if I want to look up an old request that I don't know the number of, but I do know the user, I create a custom filter. While not difficult this takes a couple minutes and then as to not get my custom views in the hundreds I go back and delete it when I'm done. Seems like there should be an easier way.
Performance
We are encountering performance issues when using SD+ 7611. We do have now 23.000 requests in our database and the last month we see that the performance is degrading. We already raised the max mem for the wrapper : # Maximum Java Heap Size (in MB) wrapper.java.maxmemory=768 Our applicationsserver is a VMware with enough mem and cpu and diskspace. We almost don't see any activity on this server for the cpu nor networking Our db = mssql and we don't see there neither much activity but we see that
Viewing requests from Change Management
Currently when you are in Service Requests and add/create a new change form the request, you get a link (button) to 'View Change' associated with the original Request. When you are in Change management, it is not as simple to view the associated request. There is no link to 'view request' This would be a nice feature to be able to toggle back and forth from the request to the change and vice-versa. (I know that you can sort of view the request from change management under the incidents tab, but

Monthly KPI report
Hi, I've been trying to update our Monthly KPI report, along with a Last Monthly KPI report that I created. Unfortunately the report as it stands is combining the current months totals with last years totals for the same month, so I've been trying to fix that. Here's the Query that I've been using, but all I receive is an ajax error: select count(wo.WORKORDERID) 'Total', (select count(wo.WORKORDERID) from WorkOrder wo left join WorkOrderStates wos on wo.WORKORDERID=wos.WORKORDERID left join
