Scanned Software
Hello, How do the Software section work? We see 15 installations for the below software. But, when we select the Installation tab, it shows no installations But, when we check the History, it shows that it was installed 15 times on same computer. Is there where it gets 15 installations. The software is no longer on that computer, so shouldn't it read 0 Installations for the software.
Unable to assign tickets to technicians
Hello, I'm currently in the process of setting up the free version of ME ServiceDesk Plus to use with our college and I'm having some problems with access rights. At the present time I've been able to configure the system and start creating indecent templates but technicians who open tickets are unable to assign them to anyone. The dropdown/fields to be able to assign a ticket arent showing up for anyone aside from myself. I've checked the account settings with my counterparts and everything appears
Change Workflow - Change Manager role ALWAYS receiving a stage change notice
Hi – If I have someone in the Change Manager role they get an email every time the change changes stage/status *even when the workflow is configured not to send notifications to the Change Manager role*. Example: Ticket is submitted in “Submission / Requested” stage and status, with myself as the Change Manager, and stage/status transition email is sent to the Change Manager. That template is defined in the Stage / Status configuration but for notification it says ,"Configure roles to be notified
Anyone know if its possible to get tickets that are open for a asset thorugh API?
Does anyone know if its possible to get the open tickets for a given asset through API? i'm wanting to create a little dashboard for my team that shows up when tickets are open for some assets. Currently we have to browse to assets, find the asset, then view requests to see them. I'm hoping to just pull back how many open tickets there are for a given asset as shown in pic below.

[Webinar recording] Busting analytics myth: Can analytics really help you improve help desk processes?
In case you missed our live session, here's a recording of the webinar:
Ticket group is set to "Not Assigned" when picked up by a Technician
I've noticed when a ticket is picked up by a technician that is not associated with a group, it marks that user as the technician and sets the group to "Not Assigned". Generally our technicians have their view set to show only their associated support groups. So tickets that are "Not Assigned" to any group aren't easily seen and typically seem to be forgotten. For example, Tech A is in the "Network" support group but not in "Applications". If Tech A picks up a ticket from the "Applications" support
Auto-assign tickets to group based on site
I didn't see this posted elsewhere, but please feel free to point me in the right direction if it has... I would like to auto-assign tickets to Support Groups based on the Site. We have multiple sites around the world who are supported by local technicians. If we can automatically route the tickets to them it would reduce turnaround time for resolution and save us significant time dispatching tickets. Can this be done? 9.1 Build 9120
Adding vendors
How do you add vendors that are not regular users? Need to be able to choose vendor from drop down menu in purchase and contract management module.
[SOLVED]Automated close, holidays and operational hours
Hello, Does the "automated request close" process take in consideration working days and holidays or not? I mean, if I set up "Close resolved requests after 1 day" and set the request status to "Resolved" on Friday (working days are Monday-Friday) - it will be closed on Saturday or on Monday? This question is also about Holidays - if I resolve request on a last day before long holidays - when it will be closed? Thank you.
How do you measure? | Support Group First Response SLA Breached for tickets handled by multiple support groups
We have a bunch of incident and request tickets that transfers from one support group to another support group. I want to measure the first response of each support group who handled the ticket. Real-life scenario: Requester raised a ticket to report that she has slow Internet connection on her workstation. Service Desk took ownership of the ticket and found that this issue requires a site visit. Service Desk assigns the ticket to the Onsite technician. Onsite technician then assigned the ticket
Three reports every IT manager should look at before updating the service catalog
Much more than just a menu card with a bevy of services and product offerings delivered by the IT team, a service catalog facilitates two-way communication between end users and technicians. For the end user, a service catalog provides information about services offered, expected delivery dates, and the quality of service that can be expected. For the technician, the service catalog provides a framework for each service request that includes the request deadline, service cost, and the process to
Repeating task / request every 2 weeks
Hi, I have a repeating task that I have created in the Preventive Maintenance Tasks. This task has to be done every 2 weeks on monday. In the week schedule there is no option to set it to every 2 weeks. I can't use the month schedule. And the periodic schedule won't let me enter date and time, only a repeating period. How can I create a task / request that is repeated every 14 days, starting on a specific date and time? How does the periodic schedule work exactly? What is triggering it to create

Automatically close every request that is created in specific support group
Hi, Is there a way to automatically close every request that is created in an specific support group? The goal is this: We want users to create requests in servicedesk for an specific support group. Every request that is created is forwarded by email to this support group. Then, we need that every request change to Closed status. We don't need to keep track of requests in SDesk. We only need that users could open requests and then the support group would do the follow up by email. Thanks

Search for Solutions inside a Ticket does not work
Good Day, When I search for a Solution inside a Ticket, the search does not find anything despite the fact that there are some articles. When I search directly in the solutions, the search function works fine. Just when I search inside a ticket, it does not work. I have tried all the search options and changed the topics as well. Nothing worked. Are there any suggestions or solutions for this problem? Thank you very much!
( SDF-75233)Change Management Field - Multiple Choice
Is there any way to do a Multiple choice field? Use case: when a change request is submitted, I would like to select one to many department names that may be impacted by the change. I see that someone submitted a request for this 2 years ago and it was never closed.
Set category and subcategory from request list view
Would it be possible to add the ability to set the ticket category and subcategory from the request list view? Since you can assign requests from here now it would make sense to be able to change the values for other fields here too? Click category and then popup a window to change category and subcategory and item. Currently have to go into every ticket manually to change and we are assigning to groups via category now and people's custom views are by these fields. Thanks, Dean
Is it possible to add cost by service catalog or SLA and make report about that cost?
Is it possible to add cost by service catalog or SLA and make report about that cost?
Bulk edit allow category change without setting site
Bulk edit of requests currently only shows category and subcategory dropdown values if the site is set. This means to bulk change category on requests, all the requests have to have the same site - the category values don't even show unless you pick a site. The tickets are for different sites so is it possible to allow the category to work without the site being set? We clearly don't want to change them all to the same site. Thanks, Dean
Field & Form Rules to Non Mandate Fields Not Working
We just recently updated to the newest version 10020. Since we did that I have noticed that the Field & Form Rules on one of my incident templates is not working like it used to. We have a new employee onboarding form. In the form we list several systems an employee may require access to and ask if they require it. Some of these systems require a business justification to grant access. So I created Field & Form rules. For requesters, the first one is in the on form load section during create only

Adjust request based on e-mail reply
Hi, Question is regarding Service desk Plus in Cloud. Situation: - Request is created and Group [Dev] is assigned . - When Group [Dev] is set in ServicedeskPlus, email notifications is sent to Dev Mailbox . - Dev receives e-mail with request content - let say without link to ServicedeskPlus. Question: Is there any easy way to adjust f.e. Group/Technician based on information in e-mail reply? Now it would be perfect when Dev reply to this mail. Response is saved under request and Group is automatically

Task Approval
We want to use the User Onboarding template workflows to create new user accounts. Part of the workflow is to assign tasks for each process: 1. AD Account 2. Email 3. Build PC 4. Access to specific applications. Currently it is our HR team that will initiate this process and then it will flow to IT to finish. Our policies state that we need to get specific approval for specific applications and network folder access from different business members. Once the original incident is approved, no one
(SDF-70570) Schedule status change option when replying to request
I make frequent use of the automatic status change (marking a request as on-hold, set to automatically change to open at future point) as in my environment there's lots of lab equipment and we need to coordinate access to it. As far as I'm aware the 'Schedule status change' option is only accessible if you 'edit' the ticket and then change the status. It would be extremely useful if the option also became available if you set a request's status to 'on hold' when replying, as often a conversation

Change Blackout Periods
Hi there. We have been using ServiceDesk Plus for a very short time and finally started using the Change Management module. There is a question about Blackout periods. There are times throughout a calendar year where we are not allowed to make any changes on Infrastructure. We would like to block out those dates in the Change calendar so that when someone tries to request a change they are either not allowed to or a message is presented stating that they are making a change during a blackout
