Drop down menus - Dependencies
We are currently looking to migrate from a product called PVCS Tracker. In that product, we currently have a form in which we have drop menus where the contents of the menu are dependent on what is chosen. For example: We have Application drop down which options include : Oracle Windows Notes Based on which of those you choose, the next drop down called Issue Category would have options based on what is picked in the previous drop down Application. Is doing this possible in this product? Thanks!
Email to non-technicians

SD+ Network Setup - HELP Please
I am trialing ServiceDesk Plus on our office network but am having troubles getting any pcs to see it over the network. The program will work on the XP machine it is installed on, but I can not get any other PCs to access this via the web. We are running a Novell Network 4.91x at one of our sites which we will be eventually upgrading to a windows/ exchange network, but for the time being this is the last site on novell =- but the site where IT is based. I Initially installed ServiceDesk plus on a
Sites
Are there any plans to build something into the inventory screens that will break the assets and software lists down by sites. We would not want the remote sites to be reported on under the same audits as our main sites and feel that being able to stipulate a separate site would offer this.

Query for adding data
I added an additional field called "Division" to the workstation details. I want to input a string value to that field for every workstation in my inventory. The input string needs to be based on the department that the user assigned to the workstation is in. For example: Computer name: LAPTOP1 Assigned owner: Bob Smith Dept. of owner: Executive For each workstation who's owner is in the Executive department, set the value of the "Division" field to "Corporate". I'm not sure if this is possible,
Query Reports
Is there a guide somewhere to assist with the creation of query reports? The documentation doesn't mention. I am assuming that these are SQL queries; however, with all of the available tables, it could be quite time consuming to create a query if you don't have an understanding of the database relationships.

Audit Settings DOES NOT save!
The feature just doesn't work at all! Saving the settings appears to work...you switch to a different link, go back to Audit settings, & they revert back. Anyone else have this problem with Build 5506?
Close incident without resolution
You should not be able to close an incident without entering a resolution. - How do we make this mandatory for our technicians?
Requestor email replies not attaching
I have already worked with Support on this but I also wanted to add this to the forums since support has not been able to resolve this yet after 2 webex sessions and multiple phone calls. When we create a workorder and the technician sends a reply to the requestor asking a question, the requestor receives this email just fine. However when the requestor replies back to the technician, this reply does not get appended to the conversation in the workorder. Our POP and SMTP email settings are setup

Problem with Categories & Sub-Categories on SDP Version
We've been experiencing problems with the Categories on SDP Version 6.0. I thought it was on my end until I tried the same thing on your demo site and I experienced the same problem. On your demo site I added the category "E-Mail", and sub-categories "webmail" and "Outlook". To those sub-categories I added the items "Can't Login" and "Experiencing Errors". When you open a new request, select the categories and the sub-categories, then try to select the Items, the Items are not available. The browser

You need a CREATOR view!
When this software was developed, a very important detail was left out. You need a view/filter for agents to monitor requests by the CREATOR!!! When you have multiple technicians/help desk agents, its very important for them to monitor ALL the requests they have created themselves. Right now, technicians/helpdesk agents can view requests that have been assigned to them or ALL requests that have been created regardles of who created them. How does a help desk agent monitor their own requests (created

Dear all, I have hundreds of contract, is there any way to sort the contract in certain order (such as alphabetical ). Also when I search contract, it is not sorted.
Feature request
0) "Authentication: NTLM" method to enter HelpDesk whould be VERY useful. 1) Requiest must "fall" to technicians NOT in state OPEN. State "OPEN" (IMHO) is for state when technician is already working on solution of the problem. When new request arrives to system or technician it must be in state WAITING 2) Ability to assign person to inform when request is CLOSED. Exactly, technicians MUST NOT have button "Close", but button "I want to close". Then responsible person receives notification that technician

Allowing requestors to change level after ticket creation

Knowlege Base Queries
Is there a method that can be used to find out what items users have been searching for in the knowledge base. We believe it can be useful to find out what topics are the most interesting to end users.
Licensing and Yearly Renewal
I would like to understand a couple of things that I am having trouble finding in the forums. 1) If I buy a license for 5 tech's do I need a license for each outside user, i.e. not the techs but the requestors in the office submitting tickets? 2) If you buy an anuall license and choose not to renew the next year is the software disabled? I need to make sure we are not getting cornered into a system by the way the license is implemented. Best Regards, Scott

SLAs - Time To Respond vs. Time To Resolution
Hello SDP Support, I am currently evaluating your application. I have a question regarding the SLA configuration. We're having a situation here where we have 2 SLAs per Request Priorty: Time to Respond (TTR) & Time to Resolution Plan (TTRP).

Question about sending out email notification from server
Hi, At our company we are using SD+. It's working great except that when a ticket is created or closed the web browser hangs as the SD+ software generates the emails to be sent. Currently it's set to notify the requestor and tech when a new request comes in and then when a request is closed the requestor is sent a notification along with a satisfaction survey. Now the question is the server running the actual SD+ app the bottleneck here? It's running on an older server that really doesn't have much

New functionality
Is it possible to add more roles for guest users, or add the option for different guest users (different templates). For example we have Management that wants access to the Contract portion of the Helpdesk, but we don't want regular users access to that.
