SD6 Custom Views

New status & escalations
According to our business process we need three different escalations: 1) Request is creating in status OPEN. First escalation goes when ticket is still unassigned. It IS possible in current version of SD+, we know. 2) IT Coordinator assigns request to technician still in status OPEN. If request is still OPEN (or may be it is ANOTHER status - "TO DO") for a specified time and technician have not changed status to "IN PROGRESS" - another escalation 3) If request is in status "IN PROGRESS" (i.e. -
additional and different fields on templates
We use templates for different requests. We would like to have different fields appear on different templates. As an example. ask 3 questions on a template request but have each template ask different questions that are pertaining to the template type. The template for "network access" template would ask different questions(fields) than the template for a software update requests. The additional fields appear on all requests and can't be eliminated selectivly.
description field contents
Is it possible to "freeze" or lock the contents of the description field in a template so the requester can only add to the field and not remove information. We want to ask questions using the description field and have the requestor answer the questions and not remove the questions. Each template would ask a different set of questions depending on the template.
New Requesters
I noticed that if I type in a new requester in a new request, it will ask me if I wish to add a new requester as part of the process of creating the request. That is fine. But the question dialog response is "OK" or "Cancel". It should be "Yes" and "No". The YES should first take you to the new requester screen to enter all their details, just like any other helpdesk you may have called for the first time, they want to know who you are and enter that info in first. THEN you should be taken to the

Asset & Workstation Import
Hi I have a list of PC/laptop assets in a spreadsheet that i am going to import as a CSV into SD+. I have also had SD+ running an inventory scan for a week or two and now have a (nearly) complete list of all workstations. Is there a way to link assets to workstations in a batch using a unique reference such as computer name (for example)? Otherwise we will have to go through each workstation and assign an asset for each which will be v. time consuming THanks

Custom Queries: Table Names?
I'm using ServiceDesk version 5.5.0 We have contracts in our database by server name. I need to create a report that pulls the contracts by status (expired, will expire in 30 days, etc) and also includes the service tag for the server name (which is also the contract name). I tried to do this, but couldn't because I did not know the name of the table that contains Contract or Workstation information. Could someone give me the appropriate table names for the report I need to create?

Help with MYSQL For Solution Import
I'm trying to import our existing solutions (in another product) into service desk but I'm not sure how some of the ID's get created. For example, I create a solution and it has an ID of 4201 in the Solution, Solution_Keyword, SolutionCreateInfo, SolutionInfo, SolutionRI, and SolutionsAttachment tables. How does it get the 4201? Could I just start at like 20,000 and be ok? Now, the KeywordID, how is this ID generated in the Solution_Keyword table? In my case its 4801. Again, could I just start with

Reopened tickets report
Hi all, We are currently defining performance reports for our service desk and have come upon a report that seems impossible to generate using the reports generator: Number of reopened tickets for a period of time or for a technician.... We know that this information is kept in the history of the ticket but how do you get it out of there and into a report? Maybe we can do some advanced SQL queries, but which are the tables that contain this information and how would this query look like? Many thanks

Custom Fields by template
We are close to purchasing servicedesk. However there is one very important feature lacking that we must have. We must be able to create custom request fields, then apply them to certain templates. For example, I need to create a template for Security Changes that has the a User Name field, and Effective Date field, drop-down boxes for Location, etc. I only need these fields to appear in the Security Changes template. Can servicedesk do this?

Adding PC's to inventory manually using a CSV file
As you can see from the title above I want to manually add all of my PCs to the inventory. Is there a way to do this. To answer a question that I know will be asked: Why not simply do a domain scan? Because our network is not up to the task, is across slow WAN links and because time is short and I need to be sure that I can scan an office in another country when they are there and not asleep and thus PCs are off. Can anyone help with this please?

Sub Category and Item not showing in request
I am using build 6008. I have created some preventative maintenance tasks. The requests are being generated fine, but the sub category and item that show in the template do not show in the request.

Escalating a call
currently the way service desk does this is to add a task and assign this to another person, the problem we have is we cant run reports on these tasks to see what the technician has done, i thnk the correct way for this is to have it create a new reuest that is linked back to the original call, i believe this is a major feature that needs to be done as well have call that one person needs to control and be responsible for but same time needs to allocate part of that request of to another person,
Asset Value
our finance deparment would like to be able to see an assets depreaciated value. basically they want to input a intial cost of the asset, give it an end of life date date and at any time have it automatically calculate the depreacted value. so if an asset was entered on 1/1/07 with an initial value of $100 and was out of service on 1/1/11 then on 1/1/08 if they look they would see a value of $75.
User and Department in Workstation.
Would it be possible to make it so a workstation could have both a user and a department? For example, many customers are specifically assigned to an individual but that individual is in x department. David.
Microsoft Outlook Integration.
It would be great if SD+ integrated with Microsoft Outlook. For example, if W.O.'s appeared as tasks in Outlook, and repeating events appeared as calendar items. Perhaps even if there was an SD tab in Outlook that would automatically login the user and bring them to the dashboard. David.
AD Import filter
