Reports to $DEPT_HEADER$
We decided to send a monthly report to managers containing some numbers. How do I know who are the managers, let it scheduled in SDP but it would be much easier if we could schedule the time to report for a filter exist $DEPT_HEAD$.
SDP Purchase Order Approval Workflow
We have started using approvals for POs and have to manually control the process to send the PO to each approver, one at a time. We are on 7611, which supports multiple approvers, however we cannot use this feature as there is no way to control the workflow process (there is no workflow process). We need to route IT related purchases to a series of approvers, who will only approve if the person before them approved the PO already. This is the classic run in through the chain of command scenario.

Request Update Notification
Is there any way to edit what triggers an Update notification email to the requestor? Things such as an added resolution, note that is set to public, and added file attachment would be worth the notification, not when a tech adjusts a group or category field. Our users complain that they are getting way to many update notifications and they don't really notice the changes because they are to fields that are not important or even visable to them. We would appreciate any help you can give us. Thank
GetAsset and getCategory operations in servlet API
Hi, I'm using servlets API to open new Requests. I have 2 questions: 1. I'd like to visualize in the html form all the active Categories (and related Subcategories) that a Requester can set. There is an operation (an hypothetical "getAllCategories") to do this? Actually, I'm doing a direct sql query on DB to get categories, but i don't like this workaround.. 2. It's similar to 1. question, but about Assets. I'd like to visualize in the html form all the Assets related to Requester. There is
Warn users who try to pickup a ticket if the ticket has been picked-up moments before
Currently there is no warning when you pick up a ticket which has just been picked up (and gui updates are no more often that 3mins so it's easy to miss). Can this be added as a feature? In the meantime is there any existing functionality which could be used to alleviate this (such as mail notifications to a group when a ticket is picked up)
Help pls! adding new request automatically.
Hi All, I'm new to Service Desk and I'm trying to use it as our helpdesk solution. I recieve service requests in word file forms (generated by an application, out of our control). I use a word macro to gather request informtion (e.g. requester name, type of request, etc.) from certain locations in the word file. Now I have all information of a request in the (VB) macro's variables. Is there any way to generate a new request from these variables and add it to SD (e.g. through its SDK) atomatically
Ability to add work log when on the Edit Request form
It would be very helpful if we could Add Work Log when editing the request, that way we don't have to visit 2 different screens to close out a work order
Change Management
Hi, Once we close the Change Request in Change Module can we restrict technician or change manager to Edit or Open that request. Regrads, Vaishali

Can I delete "AdventNet\ME\ServiceDesk\reports"?
Can I delete "AdventNet\ME\ServiceDesk\reports" or at least clean it up some way? This folder is three times the size of my ServiceDesk database and is nearly impossible to open. Thanks
SDP - Incedent/Service Request - Email ID to Notify - Button to browse and choose multiple email recepients from requesters and technicians
Hi, When a requester creates a new incident or service request, the is an option called "Email ID to Notify" right under the description. It would be nice to add a button, allowing to browse and choose email recipients registered in SDP (requesters and technicians). For example if a requester wants to cc his managers on a particular request. Thank you, Miron
BI data
Would be nice to be able to present say on the log in page some data such as, current number of open tickets, total requests received today, this week, this month, last month. To give our users some insight as to how busy the help desk is.
Select Asset Form View when logging Request/Incident
Whenever linking an Asset to a Request/Incident and the Select Asset form opens this diplays the Product Type aswell as the Asset Name. Delivery of the Product Type would assist users when logging Requests/Incidents as they would be able to identify the types of Asset that are to be linked to the ticket. When the dropdown window is selected instead of selecting the [ + ] radio button the Asset Name displays the Product Type beside the Asset Name.
Resource area of Template
Is there a way to make the questions in the resource section of a template mandatory fields? I think this area is a great feature, but without being able to make the fields mandatory it's possible for a request to be submitted without pertinent information. One major purpose of templates is to save time - if data is missing and technicians have to spend time calling to get questions answered, it makes the template almost useless. Sheila
SDP - View Logged on Users?
In ServiceDesk Plus (8017) with SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard, is there a way to see who is logged on at any given time?
Incident Template used to be called Request Template?
Am I going mad? Didn't the Incident Template used to be called a Request Template? What was the reasoning behind the naming change? Is there some logic behind this as at the moment it's kind of confusing: the terms 'Incident' and 'Request' should mean two different things in ITIL terms yet seem interchangeable in Servicedesk. Any thoughts? Angela
Problem to Import Requesters from Active Directory
Hi, I got a problem with the import requesters from Active Directory. Everything have always worked but now the import process stays at 0%. I can log on to service desk trough Active Directory without problem but cannot import new requesters... Here are the errors shown in serverout0.txt : Users List : LDAP Enumeration Failure.

assign multiple assets to an incident
It would be really cool if you could assign multiple assets to an incident instead of referring only to the one asset which can be selected in the 'Requester details' box of an incident Thx, Marc
Incident Template
Hi All, I am setting up ServiceDesk for the first time and I have edited the default incident template to a layout that works for my organization. When I select 'New Incident' from the SD Requests page, the template appears the way I wish. However, when a new email is received, the old layout is used by default. My question is, is there a way to edit the default template for requests received via email? Below are screenshots of 1, how I would like the template laid out and 2, the way it is currently
Changes Enhancements
Add a Change ID Look field similar to the Go To Request function on the Incident Tab.
Purchase Order Currency
Hi, We work and order within the EMEA/NA regions, therefore have invoices in multiple currencies. We would like the currency field to be freetext so we can change the value on a per PO basis. One in � the next in � and maybe $ and have the PO saved in which ever currency we need it to be. Thank you
Customize Add Work Log Page
Is there any way to add more info on the Add Work Log Page? Currently the Subject and Request ID are shown at the top of the page. I'd like to add the Requester's Details such as Name, phone number, email address etc. This stuff is already in the ticket so it should be easy to add, but I don't see how we can add it via our Admin console.
Tasks and Requests
I was wondering if there is any plans or current ways to have tasks and requests show up in the same area? We have some incident templates that have work flows which assign tasks to different people. But our technicians are finding it very cumbersome to have to monitor there assignments in two places. Can we please have a place or change it so both requests and tasks show up in the same area?
Distributed Asset Scan
Distributed Asset Scan As a guide I do not succeed because the instructions from the ServiceDesk Plus Server AssetExplorer The work flow: 1.

additonal views / fields
Dear Developers, I would like to enter two ideas for future options to this forum: a) Admin / Scan / failed computers: currently the overview just shows the date for "last scan on" which correctly only refers to "last attempted scan". There are no additional columns available like "last successful scan date", "failed for X attempts", etc. b) Admin / IT Assets / Discovery (Network Scan): in the Network-Overview there is no comment field visible, i.e. just the Network-Range, but no field for the location
Customizable Change Workflows Needed
The notification function of the Change service within SDPlus, in my mind, requires some additional enhancement. One request in particular, is the addition of a "Customizable Workflows" feature. 1. Add a new section called "Change Roles" - This section will allow an administrator to add/edit/delete roles for changes. These roles should NOT be isolated to technicians, as requesters should be able to function in a role. 2. Add a new section called "Change Notifications" - This section will allow an
Additional flexibility on archiving
I would like to see a bit more flexibility on the time frame that we are allowed to archive. Currently there are options for 1,2,3,6 months and 1,2,3 years. I would like to be able to either define my own value for years/months or have additional values shipped (examples: 9 months, 18 months)
Missing "Subcategory" & "Item" columns from the User's Request page
In the Requests page when the users log in, the columns "Subcategory" and "Item" are missing from the columns list, only "Category" is available in the . We need to display the column "Item", this very important. However when the technician login, the columns "Subcategory" and "Item" are available in the column list and can be displayed. Please advice. Regards,
Tech Assignment
Is there a way to use a busines rules, or some other feature to help auto assign assignments in the following scenario: 3 Techs Tech 1 does 80% tech work 20% Server Administration Tech 2 does 80% tech work 20% Network administration Tech 3 Does 20% tech work 80% Server administration 5 sites site 1 = techs 1 and 2 get assigned requests site 2 = techs 2 and 3 get assigned requests site 3 = techs 3 and 1 get assigned requests site 4 = techs 1, 2, and 3 get assigned request site 5 = tech 1, 2,
Disallow users from seeing categories
Hello When setting up preventative maintenance tasks it makes sense to use Categories and maybe sub-categories and Items along with them. However, you probably don't want your user base to see some of those categories with their associated sub-categories or items. For example, you might have a Category = "Backups and sub-categories "Initialise Backups" and "Check backups". You might not want the average user submitting a ticket with backup as a category so it makes sense to add a flag the admin
Search mail content
Hi, i know, that search function for mail content was requested 5 years ago. Now, we really need this search function, as mail is the most used way of communication in our environment. We buyed the software for a better way of working with user questions in our it-service. If we can't find mails with similar content or mails including a specific issue, it's nearly useless. Any software today uses Search Index services, why can't you? Or can you? Please tell me, if there are any new informations on
Remove technicians from auto assignment queue based on request creation date
Currently the auto assign appears to be working on the basis that if a technician is marked as off at the same time as the due date then it will not be assigned to them. This has been causing us issue in that our standard SLA is 2 days although most requests generally don't take that long to deal with, but it means that the technicians stop recieving them 2 days before they are due to be off. Also it means they get tickets assigned to them that are due to expire an hour or 2 after thay get back,
Size field "Subject"
Hello, Is it possible to change (enlarge) the field Subject? It would really help to see more characteres when working with "Requests" and "Solutions". If this is possible I would appreciate if you could tell how to do it. If not, I think it would really help if you could make it larger. Thanks, PVMP
SDP - Tracking Budgets
Hello guys, I've got a nice idea for SDP. At this point we are able to set at which department or GB-code an invoice must be made or both. What would be a very nice addition (te complement), is that we can actually put in a budget on the GB-code, or on the Department-code (it's kostenplaats called in Dutch), and that we can keep track of the remaining budget. In my (and many other cases), there are yearly budgets to follow and to keep track off. It would be nice to see if we could keep track of this
Master Incidents (Problem)
if there number of incidents. that is all caused by the same issue . I suppose to create problem and relate all the incidents.to it. but I need all the incidents to be updated just by updating the master incident (problem). and to inherit the status of the problem so if the problem gets closed all the related incidents also get closed. that will be useful when dealing with global issues.
Survey Email Special Fields
Is there anyway to use the special fields in the survey emails? For instance using $Description and $Resolution in the survey email body in the same way they are used in the reply template. I ask for two reasons. First of all many users do not respond to the Closed message and instead reply to the survey. Being able to put the request ID in the subject would allow these replies to reopen a request instead of generating a new one. Secondly users would like to see the description of the request when
