Is there an easy way to stop and start the clock?
Does ServiceDesk Plus give you the ability to start and stop the clock once a ticket is opened? We have a customer whose SLA requires us to respond to any issues and start action within 4 hours from the time the ticket is created. But if we have to call the customer and they don't reply we want to halt the clock and start it up again when they reply. So in theory it may take 24 hours of a wall clock time to get the response but leass then 4 actual hours for us to respond to the customer. Does ServiceDesk

Templates inside the Description Field
I need to make different templates based on what the end user is requesting. I would prefer to perform this via the request template but that doesnt allow for us to have certain fields showing for certain request types. IN that case I have made HTML templates in the Description field per template type. This sorta works ok, but is very buggy when getting emails from SD or when end users use Firefox. How is everyone else doing this ?

SD+ bug in Firefox
Here's an interesting bug, which I finally decided annoyed me enough to report (it's very minor). It appears to occur only in Firefox, not IE6 or IE7, but it happens in Firefox on both XP and Vista. What happens is that when the requester list is displayed in the Admin section, the page instantly scrolls itself to the bottom while loading. It's easy to replicate. Just open SD+, click the Admin tab, and click Requesters. As the list loads, the scroll bar on the page suddenly snaps to the very bottom

Locking Requester Department
Hi, I want only technicians to be able to change the department that a Requester belongs to. The only setting I can find to do this is the Self-Service Portal Settings->Requester Details->Requesters are NOT allowed to edit their profile. I would ideally like for them to be able to edit their profile (such as email, phone number, etc), just NOT be able to change the Department drop-down. Is there some way this can be achieved? Cheers, Peter
Accessing Service Desk externally
We wish to make Service Desk accessible to our remote users externally. We are trying to crete a rule in the ISA Firewall to allow the connection through. However, when we try to connect to Service Desk we are prompted by a Windows login box. Is there any way to get round this so that users are directed straight to the Service Desk login page instead. If we set the rule in ISA for internal access only, we get through without a prompt. Can anyone shed some light on this for me please. Many thanks

Track changes to assets
Currently if you go into an asset you have the Requests tab which will show you all the requests logged against that asset. However, there is no Changes tab. To me it seems more important to track all changes performed to an asset (server, etc). We're given the option to list an asset involved in a change. How can I report against changes performed on a particular asset? Many thanks for your help. Regards, Mario
