Have the ability to link a group to a category verses a technician.
We would like to see the ability to link a group to a category.

Solutions - Attachments not found
I recently migrated SD+ over to a new server. Ever since I've done that, I am no longer to view attachments within Solutions. When I click on the Solutions, it says "File was not found". I added a screen shot of the error. I am able to go in to the solution and delete the old one and re-add the document but is there any other fixes to point the Solutions to where the files are. I also have no moved any of the files. Ideas?
Set default asset for a Request template (PRINTER)
Hi, Is it possible to set a default "asset\asset group" for a Request Templates? We would like to make it as easy and quick as possible to select correct problem asset. This issue comes up e.g. in printer problems. If the users (or techniccians) have to go through long menus to set the correct printer, it's not going to get done. I haven't really came up with any clear solution for handling the PRINTER requests. - Juha

Query about closing mail and cases being automatically assigned
Hi, Just two queries.. First one is when a case is closed in service desk, (our version is 7.5.0 Build number 7508) is there any way to prevent the user from sending a mail, or what is the best way to close\resolve it without user sending a mail? When the calls are added to service desk, is there a way to set it up so calls are logged automatically to each agent? Any tips and tricks for service desk plus would be appreciated, alongside explanations of those two queries.. Cheers...
Edit Software License Asset Cost
Good Evening Everyone, We recently purchased a piece of software, but apparently the PO was entered with the incorrect amount. The PO was closed and the asset was added to the set of licenses that we have in the system. We'd like to be able to change the software license's cost in the license itself (doesn't matter so much for the PO). However, I've been unable to do so. If I click into the software and go to the Edit Software License screen, I'm able to manipulate all of the information boxes.

How To Speed Up ServiceDesk? (Deteriorating Speed - Maintenance required?) Help!
Hello Support, We are running ServiceDesk 7.5.0 Build 7506 (enterprise) and have noticed since we upgraded to this version we have taken a massive performance hit.

The system ServiceDesk is running on is a fairly average server but it does not

Attached Requests to a Problem
Hi, When attaching Incidents (Requests) to a Problem, the attached Incidents stay in the list of Requests of the technician(s) (under the tab 'Requests'). 1. Is it an idea to 'remove' the attached Requests from the 'request-list' ? (because they don't have to be treated as a 'isolated' Incidents anymore because they are part of a Problem) 2. If idea 1 is not possible or desirable, could the fact that the Incident is attached to a Problem be made visible in the Request itself so it is clear to the

Custom View
SD+ I've recently tried to recreate a custom request view, for the old one used, I would add each individual user, then continue with the filters to configure a view as per my requirement.

However the custom view does not show all of the users. I've double checked that they are in the correct department, 'Check' then double checked the
