Lost letter
Hello! We have had an error on April 8th, 2019. A requester has sent an e-mail to inbox used for create tickets in ServiceDesk. The e-mail has been received by the inbox, but no ticket has been created in SD. Could you please help us to solve the issue? Version: 9.3 9332 Sincerely yours, Dmitriy
Ticket Colours
I may be mistaken but at a recent SD+ workshop I am sure we were introduced to the ability to see tickets in a queue and individually highlight them different colours for easier administration but for the life of me I cannot find anything referencing that feature. Any advise or tips on getting something similar implemented would be greatly appreciated. Build 10.0 PGSQL
Technician Availability
Is there a feature or way that when a technician calls in sick and there is no backup technician that handles that persons tasks and we mark them on leave that the sla's associated with those tasks can be put on hold without having to go into every ticket for them or that gets assigned to them and putting them on hold..... some of these are maintenance tasks and not as big of a deal to worry about re-assigning but we still don't want sla violations out there.... some people really have no backup
User Interface (UI) customization
Gents, It seems you made ServiceDeskPlus for admins. Where is a nice interface for users (Self-Service Portal) ??? I can change Self-service Portal widgets position. And that is all. How can I modify [background] colors, fonts size, borders, titles, frames, etc (CSS) ? Just compare Dashboard page for admins and UI Self-Service Portal. There is two different worlds. UI is ugly, plain and poor. Thanks
.MDMP files
Hello users, Lately we have been receiving requests related to piling-up of .MDMP files in the directory ../ManageEngine/ServiceDesk/bin. We would like to inform you that these are dump files generated by operating system on the event of application crash. It contains data from the application's memory state at the time of crash. Reference: https://community.tableau.com/thread/251030 We would not require these .MDMP files and can safely be moved to a different location. Ensure ServiceDesk Plus gets
People who have upgraded to 10.5--is SDP crashing for you constantly?
We upgraded to SDP 10.5 about two weeks ago. The application crashes almost every other day. I contacted support and they had me uninstall the old SDP, then perform a clean install of SDP 10.5 using the 10.5 installer so we could start fresh. Ever since, SDP crashes every day or every other day. I contact support and they restart the services like 10 times then say the issue is resolved. THE ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED. I'm curious how many other people are having similar issues to us. SDP is installed
Interface freezes for awhile when sending email notifications
Is anyone else experiencing delays when ServiceDesk triggers a notification event? For example when a ticket is updated and a notification is sent to a user ServiceDesk will hang for 20-30 seconds. This happens for all email notification events in ServiceDesk. I am able to telnet from the SD+ server to port 25 on our email server (same subnet) with no delays. Running SD+ version 9.0 Build 9039
Technician Training Dashboard - Logging records for coaching technicians
Is there a plan to have a feature wherein we can log coaching sessions with technicians within SDP? We have SMEs, Managers, Supervisors, Senior IT personnel who regular perform coaching sessions for new and existing technician for handling improvement on a specific record (i.e. Request, Problem, Change, etc.) Right now, the log recording is all over the place - some in spreadsheets, word docs, and other platforms. It would be easier if we can easily manage it within SDP.
Remove Mandatory Field Requirement on Incidents Created by Email
We just updated our SDP from 9414 to 10020. In the old version our ticket manager was able to assign unassigned tickets created by email to a technician or group. On the new version when they try to assign the ticket they get a screen saying mandatory fields cannot be empty. The ticket manager doesn't have time to fill out all of those fields before assigning it to a technician. That is part of the technician's job. As a work around for now I have turned off mandatory for those fields but they need

Hide Asset entry field from Requester view of template
Can we hide this field from requester view? We still want ti retain in technician's view form incident/request template Ideally by default to all to avoid editing each single template of all. (We are OK to hide from all by default include technician's view.
VIP and service request approvals
Hi, Most of our service request templates require approvals (workflow) from $ReportingTo . What we don't want is our VIP's having to get approvals from the CEO. They have enough authority to request without approvals and I don't want to get fired by annoying the CEO. anyway to achieve VIP's not requiring approvals?
Is there any way of updating existing requestors as VIP's via an import
Hi team I have 25000 requestors. I would like to mark about 100 of them as VIP's. Is there a way of attaching the VIP flag via an import? As a side note, is there also a way of removing the VIP flag using a script? Regards Roger
Service Desk Plus REST API - '&' Character causes errors when used in category name
Hi everyone, I have been at this issue for a while and I am yet to find a solution. Our system is set up where one of the CATEGORY options is "Email & Phone". However, If I attempt to make a ADD or EDIT Request with that as the CATEGORY name I am given an error. I was using JSON as a format so I tried JSON specific escape characters which did not fix it. I also tried XML as a format and used "&" to replace "&" but I still received an error. Any help would be much appreciated.
Email Commands: Outlook Forms fields parsing to Servicedesk Request fields?
I see that Servicedesk plus supports Email Commands parses fields in content, sets the same at the request's fields, is there a way to submit these in form based in outlook and once this is fetched by servicedesk it creates requests with fields based off the form fields in the mail content?
Query to understand the first handling
Hello, I need to create a report that gives me the first move of a ticket. My need arises from understanding how tickets are assigned in my department. What I need is to understand who moved the ticket and what it did. In the history of the request there is all the trace but I don't know how to get it out in a report. Could you kindly help me with a query? I'd like to be able to make a report. thanks a lot
Prevent user from re-opening a ticket after x days
We have Allow requesters to reopen their own requests? set to YES because we want users to be able to re-open for a predetermined period of time, but not cases that are over a week or 2 old. We also have When the requester replies through E-mail / Portal to the closed requests. Perform the following: set to Reopen the same request within 7 days from closed time. Else, create as a new request. however, users can still go to the portal and re-open cases months or even a year old. How can we prevent

Migrate 9044 to 10501
Good afternoon! We have the service desk plus in version 9044. I thought about creating a parallel environment by cloning the server and data database, and in this environment will be updating the application packs. Being all up-to-date and tested, just do the pointing to the production database. doubt: When we update the application, is the database also updated (structure and tables)? If so, this strategy would not work ... If it is not, could I simply install a new application and point to the

We have the setting for allow dynamic user addition set to No. But, if you misspell a name or enter a name not in the requester list and submit the ticket, it creates a requester record for that user. User in the requester list.

Can't update says start and stop server one time
Can't update says start and stop server one time before running update. I have started the server and stopped it 3 times, rebooted the server, and even manually went into services and stopped each service and then started again but when I try to update still get the same message that I need to start and stop the server one time before updating. Anyone else have this issue? i'm updating to the latest version. I was at 9.4 and updated to 10.0 and now trying to go to latest service pack.
Expand All on Conversation
Hi, We're working on the newish version (10007), and some feedback from my technicians is that it would be helpful to have an Expand/Collapse All button in the new Conversation section so that they don't have to click onto each Note to expand it and so can read through the history of the call quickly. What's the thoughts on that?

Beginner help with Powershell and RestMethod API calls
My main goal with this is to be able to add a new request (which I've already tested successfully) and then add a reply to it. So far I'm having trouble with the reply part. In digging through the API v3, it doesn't appear that there is a reply function (and I don't think that Update Request is the appropriate one unless I'm mistaken) built into v3, so I think I'll have to use V1. However I'm not quite sure how to. Here's the code I have, which I think is a mash of V1 and V3: $ApiKey = "My key goes
Auto attach and resolve
Hi everyone, I'm struggling a bit with the automation. The staff that we support are not very "self-supportive" and are not expected to benefit from Self Service links. What I'm looking to do instead is when they create a work order for something that can be done themselves that it's automatically resolved with an attachment. Is this possible?
[SDF-51074] Task Template: Site
We're trying to use more task templates to speed up request delivery but ran into this 'issue' when building them. Why is it not possible to create a template and assign it to group within a particular Site? The Groups/Techs behave the same as Custom Triggers where available Technicians are only from the 'Not Associated to any Site' group. Why not make all sites available so we can preconfigure the appropriate Group or Technician from the actual Sites we work in?

Technician Availability
Question about this item on the Roadmap: Ability for the technician to mark online / offline which will be helpful to assign requests / tasks One of the challenges we have is determining what's on everyone's plate. We use a combination of an Agile Whiteboard, Project Tasks, Requests, and email to try and manage work. We plan on rolling out the Technician Availability chart this summer to eliminate a few other time tracking tools and hope to eliminate the whiteboard as well. The goal being to have

ServiceDesk Plus startup issue post 10500 build upgrade
Hello users, As you maybe aware that Java Runtime Environment (JRE) has been upgraded to the build 1.8 in ServiceDesk Plus 10500 build. So far, we have had handful of users reporting startup issue post 10500 successful upgrade and most of the cases found to occur as the application tries to start using JRE 1.7.
