Mail fetching to specific group or technician
Hi, I was wondering whether or not it is possible to have tasks fetched by e-mail, automatically assigned to a group or a technician, so that the e-mails aren't just created as a request with no responsible tech or group. Thanks in advance, Rasmus
Report help needed
Hi, I don't know that much about SQL so I'm looking for someone who can help with creating a report which holds the following info : Workstation name - User - Software - Software type I need to get a full overview in excel which shows all installed software by type, by user. I need this list in excel, without the usual format the SDP reports are in. I'll do the rest of the filtering in Excel so I only just need an export. Is there anyway I can do this, or can someone help me with the query? Thx,
How Large is Your Environment
I am curious how many users people are supporting with servicedesk, average tickets per day, number of technicians accessing through the day, amount of workstations/servers being managed in the asset management portion, etc. And how it is standing up in your company/organization.

Import Issues
Good Afternoon, I've setup a CSV file containing new information which should be updated for particular workstations. i.e. Barcode, cost, expiry dates. This all works fine when importing information such as Aqusistion Date, Expiry Date - However, we are having problems with the cost field. It either doesn't add the cost or it randomly gives it a cost. Are there any known issues with importing costs? SDP Version : 7.5.0 Build 7505 Any help is much appreciated Sharlene
NO SLA times defined
I have SDP 7506 (upgrade from 7504). SLA configured for the Site "Офис центральный"(picture SDP_01.JPG). In request NO SLA defined, NO DueBy date defined(picture SDP_02.JPG).
Monitor information in 7.505
We are on ServiceDesk 7.505 with a MSSQL backend. The ability to pull the monitor serial numbers from each workstation is a really nice feature. I am having some difficulty in working with this information and would like to know if it is currently possible to do the following? 1. Whenever I view the monitor information in ServiceDesk, it has appended 2 foreign characters to the end of the serial number. An example is: CNG55503GX췍췍 Is there a way to fix this, and confirm that others see this issue?

Cannot customize requester part of the default request templ
Hi, I want to customize the requester part of the Default Request Template - more specifically I want to remove the Priority drop-down box, so that it is only available to technicians. But I am not able to When I go to "Admin -> Request Templates -> Default Request" I get to the Technician tab. Here I can move objects around, remove them, add other etc. But when I click the Requester tab, is says "In this view you can do only re-arrange the fields" - and that is exactly my problem. I can re-arrange

Out of Office
Hi, Is there a way of automating an email response when someone raises a request and there is no support in the office? Occasionally I am away from the office and would like to let users know that their request might not be looked at for a few days. If there is please could you show me and if there isn't might there be a suitable workaround?? Thanks in Advance Regards Neil

Service Desk Request screen slow for some groups
Hi, Since upgrading from 7022 to 7506 my technicians are complaining that response time is a lot slower when opening the request tab. We have several different groups defined for teams using our service desk. The two groups that have the most number of requests (total) are the ones that are very slow even though there are under twenty open requests in each group. The request page displays nothing for 10-20 seconds when you select one of these groups and then loads. Other groups load instantly. I

Alias problem
Hi, I have set up a SD+ server URL alias and created a DNS entry. Everything worked fine for approx. 3 days and then -all by sudden- when I want to acces the server using the "pretty-name alias", I get nothing but a blank screen. Any ideas what to check, please? Thanks.
Status does not change
OK, so what I have here...: - created one custom status, so now I have: unassigned, open, on hold & closed, resolved - unassigned is the best status for me from which ticket should start, so I have set it up as a default status of a new ticket I create (or someone else does) a new ticket, that is not assigned to anyone. As soon as this ticket is picked-up or assigned, my idea is, that the status changes to Open. But it does not. Also when the technician is assigned when the ticket is created, same

Parts Inventory System
Looked around the forums and could not find something similar. Are there any plans to be able to use Service Desk as a tool to manage our parts inventory? It would be nice to have a place where we can show our working inventory of parts. In addition, it would be nice to be able to build rules against the inventory, say when a particular hard drive model gets down to 2 send an email out to reorder parts. If it integrated into the purchase system that would allow us to track repair costs for parts
worklog for requesters
hi all, we keep evaluating SD+ to use on our organization. everything looks really nice instead for another little problem. Is there any way to make possible for requesters to see the worklog of a particular request? I think great to keep track of whats been done on a request when u need to execute more than one task, and it eliminates the need to duplicate information on the solution field.. tx in advance. regards.
knowledgebase layout
Hi, Since we upgraded to 7.5 the layout of the knowledgebase has changed. Probably because it was meant to but I really dislike the layout of the new version. Is it possible to restore (revert) back to the older layout of the knowledgebase?

Status Red Flags
Can someone please explain to me what the 'red flags' indicate under the 'status' section? They seem to be on every incident reported on my system and I don't understand why the flags are there. Thanks!
Create Pre-Authorised Changes
It would be great to be able to create a pre-authorized change request from an incident. For example, a password reset is classed as a change request BUT a pre-authorized one. It would work like this: User wants password resset. Service Desk agent logs an incident / request of a type and closes it SDP creates a change request of Change Password and assigns it a type of Pre Authorized. SDP closes the change request based on the incident being closed. The incident is then associated to that change.
SD+ Access to Outside World
I already have SD+ setup and working for my IT group and it is great, so great in fact that my company wants to use it for a different group. We create software and we get support calls and emails etc but they are not tracked or managed. I think that SD+ can help them. My questions are, can SD+ be opened to the outside world (ie not on our LAN), and if it can we will need the techs to be pulled from AD but the clients outside the LAN will be logging requests and will obviously not be in AD. Is this

requesters not being able to see their request histrory
Good Morning we have been having an issue with requesters not being able to see their full request histrory when logging into the Service desk. it would appear that those requests emailed to the servicedesk email account itself appear on the service desk for technicians to action, but if a requester wants to check the status of a request, they are unabble to see their complete history. this does n ot seem to be the case for requests logged via the service desk itself. do you have any idea how i can

LDAP field 'company'
Hi there. I'd like to know, if it's possible to use the 'company' ldap field. In our group there are several companies which all use the same SDP as we have one IT-team for all. It would be great to sort and manage requests by the company name. Is that possible? Or maybe it's a kind of missunderstanding SDP so I would be glad to get hints on how to set it up correctly and automate as many worksteps as possible. Thanks and greetings. Ronni
Needing help with complex reports - tried everything I know
Hi all; I have some serious reporting needs for a major project and I have spent a lot of time using the reports module not getting what I wanted. That may simply be me not being very bright, but at least I gave it a try. I have to report on one project that has its own category to allow us to track incoming requests separate from our regular internal requests. We have 4 severity levels each of which has a business agreed SLA tied to it. These severity levels are as follows: Sev 1 - Critical failure

Unable to setup a new techician to logon to Domain and not Local Authentication. I've tried using the user's username as the login ID and also using the email address, neither will allow me to set the Domain login for the new techician. The domain field just shows a ' - ' no other option?
Asset Scan basics for dummies?
Can someone please explain to me slowly how exactly the asset scan works within Advent Net Service Desk build 7056? i was under the impression that an asset scan is based on ADUC (active directory users and computers) but i'm seeing that this cannot be - as computers that are turned off during a scan do not get brought into the asset db. Any guidance would be most useful - i've just captured a large physical inventory and reconciling it to the Asset tab in the software is proving to be challenging....
Notify a manager when an unassigned request is updated
Senario A request comes in and is assigned to just a group (so the status is open, unassigned). The requestor sends an email to SDP (##ticket##) asking for a status update. Question How can I make it so the manager of the group is notified that the ticket has been updated with an email from the requestor? The manager already is notified when requests are added to his group but since the request is not technically assigned, the email notification of the update doesnt seem to so out to anyone. One

Custom Template
I am looking into creating a custom Template that would allow users to request access to some of our systems through a check box type system. So when the user brought up that part of the request all they would need to do is check mark the portion they either need to add/remove access to. Is this a possibility?
Asset scan - deselected OU's keep coming back..
I have an issue with the domain scan function. A long time ago, i selected some OU's for scanning which i no longer want to include in the domain scan. I edit the domain entry, press 'save and scan' and deselect the OU's. I then run a scan. When the scan completes, i then edit the domain entry again, only to realize that the OU's i deselected before now has a checkmark in front of them again. How do i remove the OU's from the domain scan for good? Running v.7.5 build 7506. Br, David PS: You seriously
