Asset Tracking furniture
Our Finance department wants to start using ServiceDesk to track building furniture. Before I commit to them, I wanted to confirm the licensing schema of ServiceDesk. We have a 1250 node license. Can you confirm that entering NON-IT assets into ServiceDesk will not use any licenses? Also, is there a way to create a custom 'furniture' Non-IT category? Thanks, Dave

Cannot Delete PO
I cannot delete a closed PO even though the assets have been deleted that were associated with that PO. I continually receive a "Purchase Order is being used by another module. Hence cannot delete it." error message.
Re-Open button on closed calls
Under the current version of ServiceDesk Plus, Requestors do not have the ability to easily Re-Open closed calls. The only known way is to send an email to the Helpdesk and include the job number of the closed call in the subject line. We have the need for the users (Requestors) whom the job was opened by to be able to re-open a call via SDP.
Report needed
I need some help creating a custom report. We are looking at our work hours being changed and we need to be able to justify if we will or not, so we need to see any requests from 12 am to 8 am, 8 am to 5 pm and 5 pm to 12 am seperated. It doesn't have to be much, just seperated into 3 fields displaying this, and a pie chart for the visually assisted that all companies have. This can be Crystal (8 or 11) or built in tools, we have both available.
Automatic initial response for letters without request ID
We want service desk to be able to send automatic answer to all senders and recipients of any email message which doesn't have Service Desk's request ID in it's subject. As a result each recipient wil have second copy of the letter with header containing request ID. We will answer to this secondary message. It will give us possiblility, to communicate exclusively by email, and have all our messages attached to the right requests automatically. Can somebody explain how to implement such behavior for

SQL report for workstation audit history.
Hello. We have ServiceDesk running against a MSSQL backend. There is a bug where the audit reporting does not work against MSSQL. Is there a way that I can get this information through a Custom Query Report? I am looking to report all changes (history) for a month against every workstation. If this is possible, can you give me a sample query to do this? Thanks. Dave

Very Urgent Problem
I've tried to update my service desk 7015 to 7019, like I've updated before other versions, but this time the update gave me an error, and after that error I never more could start service desk service. So as I've a full backup from my database I decided to made a clean installation of the service desk 7019. Now I have the 7019 installed and working but I couldn't import my backup. I believe that's because the backup I have is for the 7015 version. So I need help importing the backup to this new
7019 Hotfix - Unable to close change - Impact required
Appears to be an issue with build 7019 and closing changes. Our rules require IMPACT to be entered. Correctly when it isn't populated you can't close and it advsies you. However with 7019 we don't appear to be able to close any change even when the impact is completed, it stil reports that IMPACT is required. The only workaround is to take out IMPACT as a required field. Can this be resolved directly please. Regards, Andy
Separate "PO" from "REQUISITION"
Calling everything in the process a "Purchase Order" is very confusing. There is a requisition from the user, and that should be in the drop down list. The system could then convert requisitions to PO's, but having the workflow start with creating a PO is not ideal.
Completed Requests by Department Report
I am running this report to determine the departments within our business that are sending requests, however each month about 30% of reqests are coming up as Unassigned, however if I check AD and the Department field of the Organization Tab, and they are all fine. Help this is annoying me, because I have to manually check 700+ supposedly unassigned requesters and add them to one of maybe 50 offices before repoirting to the CIO, whereby we charge these departments based on usage of SD+ and IT services.
Populating custom field pick list from file
Hi all! We are evaluating SDP and we would like to populate a custom field we defined for the resources and the workstation with a list of values (in the hundreds). We did not see any way to import the values from the admin panel where the custom field is defined. As we don't obviously want to enter them one by one, we were trying to find where the list is stored in the database. We have found the schema for most of the main object's category (from the query builder in the Reports section) but we
ServiceDesk+ and SupportCenter integration?
Hi I�m currently reviewing both SD and SC. Our business requirements actually span both products. We like SC for its good functions for our customer help desk to address our customer�s needs, but we lack the much appreciated ITIL framework. It also contains a good customer web portal. SD on the other hand covers most of our internal needs with a good ITIL framework but lacks any possibility to use it for customer support. Our customer support works closely together with the infrastructure team and
Mail Fetch Issues - New Tickets not being created, etc
Running 7.0.0 Build 7011 Service Desk Plus Recently ran into an issue with the Mail Fetching. There are 2 issues but they seem to go hand in hand. When an email is sent to the mailbox that ServiceDesk monitors it will grab the email, and then send a notification that a ticket has been created but the ticket # it provides is an old ticket number that has been used, and when we view the old ticket # the email that it grabbed wasn't added to that ticket, but it just seems the email goes into a void.
Converting number to date time
Date and TIme information is stored in MySql as a number. Does anyone know the formula for converting the number to a dateTIme format. (i.e. 1186673131671.00 to mm-dd-yyyy, XX:XX AM)
Searching a duplicated request number
When we merge 2 or more requests that are similar or the same, we are not able to search for the request that has become the child request, only the parent request number. The customer can click on link that has been sent to them by SD+ and request opens though. Is this for a reason, or am I supposed to enable something in SD+?? Let me know
upgrade from 6014 to 7018 and move to new server
hi in the last week i build a new server to move service desk 6014 from an older server to this new server and then to test the upgrade. the move from old to new server on version 6014 worked fine. i ran into a problem where some of my asset names were too long which caused the upgrade to version 7 to fail (service desk support helped me out with this one, thank you!) after modifying the asset names i upgraded to version 7 and then to 7018 (just read 7019 came out ) and this is now working and am

7019 will not install
Hi, We're running 7018 and attempting to upgrade to 7019. The upgrade will go through what appears to be the entire process - it takes a while - and then with no warning will throw an "error - uninstalling." I'll paste the log file below but it doesn't seem to be of much use. What's (potentially) worse is that the product will not start up after the failed install. The startup seems to never finish "Application layer started," although the progress bar (well, the periods that display) continues to
Notification Rules after Update

Problems with Survey

Recover from Failed Upgrade (7012 to 7019)
On Friday we attempted to upgrade our 7012 installation with SQL to 7019, first taking a backup of the ServiceDesk using the backUpData.bat. When installing the update (7019 is the latest service pack) via UpdateManager.bat all was seeming to go well until the SQL transaction log rapidly increased in size beyond from 500MB to over 2GB resulting in the drive running out of space. At that point the update failed and the update utility reported it was rolling back the changes although a few seconds

Problems with Updating from 7018 to 7019
Hello, just updated to the newest version, but now I am not able to start SDplus anymore. When I start the server manually I get the following error Messages: Could not find jndi.properties AdventNetServiceDesk: FAILED When I start SDplus in the browser I receive a 400. I tried to uninstall the new Hotfix but got the message: Sorry, uninstallation is currently not supported. So do I need to change any settings or is there another way to get it running?

Employee ID in AD
Currently Servicedesk do not import Employee ID from the Option "import requester from AD" due to which its difficulat to log a requester for a requester with same name. E.g :- an organization have 3 employee's with diffrent employee id's Starting name James employee id 1234 ,James employee id 1235 and James employee id 1236. due to which technician is unable to record the request quickly and gets more confused which James has called up for the request. In Such case what we can suggest is get the

Search by service tag or asset tag

Asset Name autonumber
I want to create sequencial numbers for the asset names, for example all the monitors will be named as MON-0001, MON-0002,...etc, regardless of their product name. what I want is that SD+ autogenerates the next consecutive number when creating a new Asset. Is it possible?, I am thinking of triggers but anyway I would have to modify SD+ in order to make the new automatically created asset name visible in the user interface What is the best option for Asset names?, just consecutive names regardless
SLA criteria
We need to add 'Group' to the SLA criteria list. We use ServiceDesk (ITIL)between IT infrastructure and Software development teams. Each group has its own SLA needs and escalation contacts. By simply adding group to the criteria rule we can avoid building a complicated mix of category, sub-category and item rules. Please advise if there is a simpler workaround for the time being. I�d also like to see further uses of the grouping ability in other functions too, and included in the 'business rules'

Can someone explain how they are determining how theay allocate software, ot thier definition of each?
