Unable to log in after enabling active directory authenticat
I am unable to login to the ServiceDesk web client. The login page does not load, all I get is a blank screen. The last change I made was enabling active directory authentication, so I assume this is the problem. How can I disable the active directory authentication if I can't get into the web client?
Using HTML formatted text in Request API and Solutions Knowledgebase?
How can I turn off the encoding of the text that I send, either through the Request API or the Solutions Knowledgebase? Let's say I have a request that was created that has an HTML table. The problem is, when I send over <td>, ServiceDesk turns it into <td>. One would think, you can escape it by using <td>, but then the encoding will turn it into &lt;td&gt;. Is there a way to turn off encoding when sending a request, or adding a solutions article? Thanks! Aaron Paxson Network
Limit the size of "Subject" Edit Box?
Hi there, Sometimes users tend to write the whole problem in the subject of their ticket. If we make the Description Box mandatory, they just copy and then paste their text into the description area. Is there any way of limiting the range of characters in the subject box instead of being capable writing as much as we want? regards, George
Problem / Change Management Module
We are still in the evaluation portion of testing this product. I have already brought up the fact that an ongoing change blocks out the entire time span on the calendar. This is unacceptable if you have a change once a week but the entire time is blocked out. I have also found that putting a closed date on a problem does not change the status of the problem to closed. The problem remains open and in the problem list. Not only do you have to change the problem to closed but you also have to

Possible Bug? Login Screen
Hey everyone, So far we've been "live" with Service Desk Plus for about a month and it's working great! One problem we have though is with the login screen. The "requester" is actually a single department with various people over the course of 24 hours. We figured it would be easier to use a single login to track requests from that department. However because of that, the login is NOT a member of our domain. We checked the "remember me" option and set it to use the Local Authentication within service

ServiceDesk Issues - Removing Additional Fields + Slow Since Upgrade
Hello ServiceDesk Support (and friends) ! I recently upgraded our copy of ServiceDesk from 7022 all the way up to Build 7506. The upgrade went without a hitch. We have noticed now however that ServiceDesk is alot slower than it used to be with only 2 technicians logged in. Also we have all these fields we don't even use that used to be disabled in 7022. How can I remove the following fields? Impact Urgency Site Item Impact Details The extra fields are making it confusing for our staff. Also, the
Completed time not shown for closed requests
We are using the ServiceDesk software as a work to list and completed work list. Every job gets a ticket. If the job has been completed as it only took a minute for instance, we use a custom template that has a status of closed. This means that the ticket is entered and automatically closes immediately, therefore doesn't show as an outstanding ticket. We run reports daily to show closed tickets using Completed Time. We have found that Completed Time doesn't appear when a ticket has an inital

Add work log from create screen
My organization requires that a work log be added to a ticket before it can be closed, but it is not possible to add one from the same screen that you use to create a ticket. The technicians have to create the ticket, then add a work log and resolve the ticket as a separate step. It would be nice if the "add work log" checkbox on the resolution tab would be added to the create screen to fix this.

Status for Requesters
Hi, Is it possible to give a requester a status? I.e.: active, inactive, resignation or other. Ofcourse you should not delete "old" requesters for the history, but the list "active" requesters is very long. In Active Directory this requesters get the status: "disabled". So probably you can use this. The list in ServiceDesk is then more up to date and the "inactive" users are still available, but not direct visable! Gr. Ferry Pranger

More then one approver
Hello, We are using this software for a long time now. I now want to use the PO tab. For some investments we need more then one approver. In the current situation the PO status changes to "approved" if only one approver approves the request, but actually is just a "partial approve" Is there a way to follow a certain order in the approval process and you only get an "approved" status if all approvers approved the PO ?

Assigning calls to groups
in the list view of requests there is an option to assign with a techinician drop down....... This doesn't include groups so cant assign a request/or group of requests through to a team of techinicians for one of them to pick up. Have to actually go into the requests one by one and then when clicking on assign there is the option to assign to tech or group or both..... Can this be changed to have a section at bottom of dropdown for groups? Cheers Ian D
Report on resolved time instead of completed time??
Hi, I'm just wondering if it's possible to have on a report the resolved time as opposed to the completed time? Currently I have a custom report but have only got Created Time, Completed Time and Dueby Time but I'd like to include Resolved Time as sometimes there is a gap between when a call was resolved and when it's closed. Is this possible? I have version 7.5.0 build 7502. Thanks

Approvals
Would like to see if I am missing a way to accomplish this. We are going to have requesters submitting requests that need approval.

Any thoughts?

Hi, We're going to be migrating domains shortly, how is this going to affect SDP from a user & technician point of view?

Line spacing in description / resolution fields
I noticed that when you type in the fields, it double-spaces your text by default when you hit enter. I understand that when you hit shift-enter, it only single spaces. Great. However, when you paste something in (from Word, for example), it looks great, until you save, then it double-spaces everything. Normally that would just be annoying, but it really sucks when you have a code snippet or something that you want to save. Is there any way around this issue? We just upgraded to 7019, which fixed

Assign requests to groups
On the list view of requests there is a dropdown box of technicians which you can quickly assign requests (or group of requests) to by clicking on the assign button but I want to assign requests through to a group of technicians for one of them to pick up. The way I have to do this is by clicking on each request seperately and the assign option on this screen then gives option to assign to tech or group or both! Is there any way the groups can be added to a section at the bottom of the dropdown
Unable to remote to workstations
There are some workstations that Manage Engine can't remote to, the error we receive is: Failure: Problem while connecting Workstation. Please report the problem to the system administrator, with the Error Code - 1,241,192,567,703. The workstations don't have a firewall enabled.
Group notifications
I have group notifications turned on to let a group know when a new ticket has been assigned to it. I have found that this notification is also triggered if a group member assigns a ticket to the group and themselves as technician. As a work around, I've turned group notification off and simply enabled the notification that is fired when a ticket is left unpicked. Is there an easier way to do this? I feel like I am missing something.
