Can i customize Request ID

Workflow of requests
I`d like to know if there`s a way to set an workflow of requets. For example: I open a request when it's closed it opens a new request and then so on. Some requests could be opened at the same time to be resolved in parallel. Ex: 1 - I open a workflow request to buy a desktop 2 - When the first request to buy this desktop is closed, it opens a second request automatically to prepare the equipment (install OS, etc) 3 - When the second is closed it opens a third one to install the desktop to the user.

Template assigned to Group
I have searched in here, but was unable to find an answer. Is it possible to create a template, but have only members of a specific (admin-defined) group have access to view/submit that template? For example, only sysadmins should be able to submit a request for a new server build. Can I setup a template that will only be viewable to Requestors that are assigned to the Sysadmin group? Thank you for your time. Shawn

Sending update notifications to users once a task has been updated.
Hi there, I know this seems self explanatory but i just cant seem to get this correct. Once a request is logged by the IT Dept (me) a confirmation e-mail is sent to the user(s) involved. Now when i want to update the request such as a list of steps i have tried in order to resolve an issue i am writing all these steps in the work log but users do not get notified of this. Is there any way to send a confirmation e-mail such as "job xx has been updated with the following comments" by using
Business rules using Additional fields
Hi, I have problem with Business Rules which I set condition with Request - Additional Fields. I created a request additional field (pick list type), called Supplier. Then, I created this business rule: Execute: when a request is created and edited. Criteria: Supplier is "Supplier1" Action: Change Status to "Onhold".

Multiple Outgoing Email Addresses
Hello SDP support, I would like to be able to assign individual outgoing email addresses to each technician. for Example: peter-support@domain.com jack-support@domain.com mary-support@domain.com So when they send their responses from SDP they have a bit more personal character. The requestor will know who it is coming from before they open the email. Right now some of my requestors tend to ignore SDP emails and focus on personal replies only. So we revert to using email clients which complicates

SSO is slow until cached
Hello, I believe SSO is partially working on some of our AD accounts but others it seems it either times out or they just get a login screen. For the accounts which do work, it seems like the browser churns for a good 20 seconds and finally loads. Then if I log out and close the browser, open it back up and try again, SSO instantly works and the user automatically logs in and sees their home screen inside SD+. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why it could be so slow for the first time?

Hi, I m not able to get any notification whenever new complain issue is logged,assigned or close.
Task assigned to a group
I've encountered an issue where if a Task is assigned to a Group but not to a Technician, that the entire group receives the notification. Unfortunately to each of the Technicians, it appears that the task was assigned exclusively to them even though it wasn't assigned to any of them. Aside from modifying the Task Notification Template to put a warning there, is there some way that SDP can make it clear that a Task was assigned to a group and not a Technician? Thanks.

Is there a way to retrieve versioninfo for ServiceDesk Plus from the ServiceDesk Plus database?
Hi, We are having issues with our ServiceDesk Plus installation while trying to upgrade it. Unfortunately, the upgrade failed and we seem to be unable to restore the ServiceDesk Plus installation from a VMware snapshot that was taken just before the upgrade (we get a 404 error in Apache). We do not know which version of ServiceDesk Plus was installed at the moment we did the upgrade and were told that not all versions will work with all database versions. Is there a way to retrieve the version information
