roles and rights
Hi, I want some Requesters be able to view some reports. e.g. my CFO wants a list of all open and all closed requests of the last quarter. But to create reports he has to be a technician, doesn't he? I don't want him to work on any requests, since he is no IT-personel. And I don't want to spend a whole license for him. Is there any way, a Requester can create reports without being a technician? I also want my IT-staff to change the due-date of a request. By default SLA-assignments create a due-by
Connection Failure
Good evening! First off, I am an extremely new user to ServiceDesk Plus; not with regard to help desk software and conceptual design. This software has been deployed in a medium sized company to centralize our problem tracking more efficiently; it has been working wonderfully for several weeks until this point. Users report being unable to access the application via Web. I have spent several hours researching the documentation and browsing the forums, though not more than a couple steps ahead of
SLA/Overdue status not changing
When a request is re-prioritized the overdue flag is only updated if the new priority is managed by an SLA. I have 4 SLA-managed priorities and a fifth that is not. When a request is reprioritized to the non-SLA managed priority, the overdue status should be set to no or false. Currently, it remains set to true. I am running SDP 7011.

set security for request view
is there any way i can set security on viewing all the requests in helpdesk? we have many technicians and i want each one to be able to view only those requests assigned to them and not all the requests. is it possible??? A technician shoudl be able to view only those requests assigned to him, he cannot see those requests assigned to other technicians as well. possible?
is there any way to restrict the filter option for requests
in the request screen, there is a filter to view requests based on status and so on. there is any way i can restrict that view?? example, 'all requests' would display all the requests to everyone who is a technician. can i restrict that view only for SDAdmin??? each technician can view only his requests and not every other technician's requests.. is it possible??

How to determine if a request has exceeded the agreed SLA?
We are busy evaluating SD and please need some clarification on how to determine if a request has passed the agreed SLA timeframe Example 12:00 Request logged with 2 hour SLA 12:00 Due date is set to 14:00 12:30 Call status is changed to �on hold� (Timer should stop) 13:00 Call status is changed to �open (Timer should start) Due date still shows 14:00. Should this not automatically be set to 14:30 to include the half hour the call was in a �hold� status? Current Configuration: Service Desk Plus standard
SSL Support
SDP currently supports any POP/IMAP and SMTP service as long as there is no SSL Encryption. For security, we request that AdventNet include SL Support in their considerations as most users are migrating to SSL encrypted communication systems

Forum Suggestion - Known Bugs and expected build - sticky
How about a sticky being put in here to cover the known bugs in the product and the expected release build that should address them. The reason I suggest this is that in a number of cases issues are identified and the support comment is a positive that it is now known and will be fixed either in the next hotfix, next update, minor upgrade etc. However to end users we have no idea if that means next week, next month or next year. That can then mean with each update the issue is re-reported and/or

LACK OF SUPPORT FROM ADVENTNET
Our organization has been trying to get a resolution to an issue with Mail Fetching since 1/3/2008. The service request ID is 6015158. Several phone calls for a period of more than a week have gone unanswered and we are left entering all our service calls into a system that was touted as automated. I would emplore anyone from AdventNet to look into this issue and get it addressed as soon as possible. Our continued lack of support from your organization is effecting my staffs ability to service our

Active Directory import - where to exclude OU's?
Hello I'm running SD+ version 6.006, and would like to test my AD import function. I have seen the option to include / exclude certain OU's from the import, but cannot find it. Anyone know where that is? Also, if a user account in AD is disabled, but their account is not hidden from Exchange Global Address Book, will it import the user into SD+? And, if I disable and / or delete an AD user, will it also delete the requester from SD+? thanks in advance!
Scheduled backups question
Looking at the config wizard there is an option to schedule backups of SDP. Our current config of SDP has a backended SQL database that is being backed up nightly. Does anything else need to be done to backup SDP considering the backups of the database we are currently doing? Additionally, there is an option to backup the "File Attachments" in the SDP scheduled backup. Where are the attached files stored in SDP? Thanks, Anton
SDP 7 - issues scanning machines
Hi, We are currently using SDP 7 build 7011. After scanning a machine i have noticed a few bugs. The first is that after the machine has been scanned, the software is changing the name of the machine and adding the connection-specific DNS suffix to the machine name, when it should really be adding the Primary DNS suffix. This is causing a major issue, because after it changes the name you can not scan the machine any longer because it can not reach it. You have to change the machine name back to

Dear All, We are facing a serious issue with Service Desk since last few weeks and the application hangs now and then also takes ages to load/ refresh the reqeust screen.

Active Directory users logging in - no import
Hello, As of the upgrade to 7 all users that are in our active directory are able to logon to service desk. Prior to this I had to import them first. For many this may be a convenience, however there are many users in our AD that should NOT have access to the helpdesk system. Is anyone else experiencing this? Not sure why this changed but it would be nice to have the control back. Thanks in advance for anyone's help.

Servicedesk database documentation
Is there any documentaton I can download in regards to the servicedesk database. I am trying to end user requests entered in the web page and transfer the information to Microsoft Team Foundation Server. I figured out that the WorkOrder table is where the majority of the information goes to, but I am having a devil of a time trying to find the Category, Sub Category, and Item information is stored. I believe they are template fields, but cannot find the table that stores the information and its relationship
Technician configuration problems - assign roles
On every technician other than myself I can assign the various roles, particularly the ability to approve the P/Os. On my profile I do not have that option. I am assuming that as the primary administrator this would normally be the default? However, if I issue a purchase order, I do not get the drop down menu to authorise it. I have to allow a colleague the permission and send it through to him for authorisation. I thought that it might be ta rule where you couldn't authorise your own P/Os but it
Assign To: quick job
When viewing the list view for requests is it possible to amend the quick job "Assign To" function to allow assigning (move to) a group queue instead of just a technician. We have a number of users that move between sites so therefore cannot setup jobs to automatically go to a queue and have to do this manually. This option would save us quite alot of time. Regards Mike
Tech cannot type in resolution or close ticket

Surveys do not work in Servicedesk plus Enterprise
We are using build 7009 of the Enterprise version of Servicedesk Plus. The surveys have never worked for us. The email gets sent out as expected and the user receives the survey. There is no space between the 'Welcome' and the person's name which looks un-professional. However, worse is to come. When the survey is filled in and the submit button is clicked we get the screen that I have attached to this post. As you can see 'Welcomenull' is at the top, which again is un-professional and what is worse
duplicate departments
Hi, I have hundreds of departments in my department list. Departments, that do not exist in my company. Whenever I import requesters from my Active Directory, lots of departments are duplicated. Departments, that do not exist in my Active Directory at all. It seems, these are departments, that come within the first installation of SDP See attached Screenshot for details. It is really hard work to delete over a hundred "accountant" departments just to find some of them again after the next import

If I add a new CAB member to a change, I want to be able to Send for Recommendation to a the new CAB member without mass mailing all the previous CAB members again. If the TO: field was editable on the current Send for Recommendation mail then I could remove the CAB members that I didnt want to receive the mail. Can this field be made editable ASAP? Can I do this in the backend?
