Tasks Enhancements ?
We are currently using ServiceDesk Plus Enterprise for out IT service desk. We now have another potential (non IT) application for ServiceDesk Plus but the main obstacle to choosing ServiceDesk Plus over other software is the limited functionality of Tasks. Can you please advise whether and what plans there are to improve the Tasks functionality in ServiceDesk Plus. Ideally Tasks would need to be more like Requests. I know this question has come up before and the Tasks functionality has already

MySQL Date Queries (Changes/Reports)
I have been putting the Scheduled End Time as 31/03/2012 23:59 for many of my changes to denote that they are to be completed within the next Financial Year, however when I report on these the date is displayed as 01-04-12 I'm formatting the date as follows: DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(chdt.scheduledEndtime/1000),'%d-%m-%y') "FinishDate") Any help would be appreciated Running ServiceDesk 8.0 build 8007 MySQL
how to report on changes based on Assets Involved
Hi, I haven't been able to figure out a way to create a report (custom or edit an existing report) that allows the report to show changes based on the field Assets Involved. Almost all the other fields on the change form are available as a filter including a couple custom ones I added. Any suggestions on how to get this to work. I am running on SDP 7611, however I have an upgraded copy in our test environment running 8004 and I can't seem to find a way to run this report in that version either.

Site - Refer Default Settings
Hi, Why if I said that one site "Refer Default Settings" he doesn't appear on "Available Sites" to associate to one technician? For eg. I have London and NY. I want that London to have default settings and NY to have "Custom Settings", and I want to associate some technician JUST to London. regards, Henrique Alves.
Scheduling Preventative Maintenance tasks
We recently decided to move our regular tasks away from the old paper based list and onto SD+. Some of the scheduled maintenance tasks disappeared, or failed to start. I've read an old thread that suggested a different requester name to the technician who will be carrying out the duty. I've done that and am waiting to see if they work next time. Is it possible to report on what has been kicked off through preventative maintenance? Is it possible to schedule something for the first Monday of the month

Cloning Service Request in SDP
We have to make system config changes to 50 locations, with each location having it's own Change so we know when it is occuring (i.e. appears in the Change Calendar). Is it possible to create the first change, put all the documentation into that change and then for the other 49 locations clone/copy the first change request and just modify the location and date. This would be a lot easier than having to type the same info into 50 change requests. Thanks, Simon
Scheduler doesnt show all tasks for a specific site or Group
hi there, using the scheduler I cant get it to show me just the tasks and changes for a specific site or group. It only allows me to show on a per technician basis. this is annoying for example if you have a bunch of tasks that are not associated to a specific person. Maybe I have made a mis-configuration somewhere?
Address Lookup in Reply or Forward
For all types of replies and forwards (incident, service request, tasks, changes, etc), when adding names to the To and CC fields, I notice the address name look up works if you start typing the person's email address (i.e. typing "jsm" will perform a look up and return possible names, jsmith@email.com and jsmithers@email.com, etc). Is it possible to add the option of typing a portion of the friendly name, like first or last name, and have it auto populate the actual email address when the reply
Separate organization units running on single ServiceDesk instance
Hi, Is it possible to create high level of separation for two groups that have different workflows, assets, SLAs etc. One group is standard IT that work with regular users and backoffice tasks/problems/requests. They have set of servers and workstations. Second group is production group which manages production service/servers. The goal is to set the application in a way that each group will continue to "feel" and work on their environments and work will not become "cluttered" by requests, problems,
Firefox 4.0 and Forwarding Requests
I've found that while using Firefox 4.0 Beta and forwarding requests, the description of the request are not included and is left blank. This is apparently caused by Firefox's built in pop-up blocker.

ServiceDesk Plus Professional - Service Catalog
Hello guys, I was actually quite exciting about the version 8 release, and don't get me wrong i still am. But... One of the most anticipating new features implemented, the so-called Service Catalog, isn't available in the Professional Edition, which suprised me actually (not even in a limited manner). My reasoning behind this is that the Professional Edition with 250 or even 500 assets basically means you have somewhere between 50 - 300 people to work for, which is quite a bit to do on your own.

Problem with Server.xml
I may be missing something obvious but here is my issue: SDP build 8007 I was trying to install a cert from DigiCert last night and ran into an issue right at the end. I used the instructions found http://davemast.wordpress.com/2009/02/13/adding-ssl-to-servicedesk/ and when I created the keystore I used <my domain>.keystore instead of sdp.keystore. In theory that shouldn't be a problem since I just edited the server.xml file to point to the new keystore and added my password to the file. The problem

8007: Notification errors
Hi, We just upgraded from 8006 to 8007. Since the upgrade, any response to an OPEN ticket by a requester not only generates the "updated" notification but also generates the "ticket has been reopened" notification. So basically we're getting duplicate notifications, one of which is simply inaccurate since the ticket itself is not closed. How can we go about resolving this? Thank you. James

I have been setting up SD+ and found that the URL link in the password reset email is incorrect.
