E-Mail IDs to Notify does not work properly
Good Day The function "E-Mail IDs to Notify" does not work properly. If we fill in an E-Mail-Adress during the manual ticket creation, it seems to work fine. However if a ticket is created automatically via mail-to-ticket and we edit the field "E-Mail IDs to Notify" afterwards, the CC Addresses are not shown whilst replying to a message. Is there a solution for this problem or could you fix it with the coming update? Thank you very much.

Hi, Can someone please help me understand how incident categories work. I have an incident template called "Printer problem".

Way to restrict and control Bulk Edit of requests
Hi everyone, I used form and rules to limit what the user can update and the flow of the Request to difference stage. But, it seem like they can bypass it by using the Bulk Edit. Just select (the tick box on the left) the Request from the Requests list then, select [Action|Edit] and a pop-up dialog box will appear and used can change the status, etc.. by passing the Form Rules. The permission allow will be based on the Role permission control. Is there way which we can control the {Action | Edit]?
[SDF - 45241] Request List Field - Linked Problems
Hi there, Our teams will have many open tickets in their queue and a lot may be associated to ongoing problem investigations. This isn't visible from the request list at all which can result in technicians working tickets that are already part of a wider problem investigation and wasting time. Is there a way of easily seeing from the request list what problem a request is associated with? TIA, Dave

E-Mail Command leaving commands in the new request
Greetings, I'm attempting to use the e-mail command feature of SDP to open new requests. The email for the new request will be coming from a SharePoint workflow, based on a new item being created in a SharePoint list. As I'm working on this, getting it to work as I want, I've noticed that new requests created via my email have the commands in the Request Description, in addition to any other text that is in the email message. I was hoping that the email command processor would consume the actual
How to disable/hide the tabs/menus at the top
We're using SDP 10512. We're looking at upgrading to 11 so we can take advantage of the ESM capability. Due to how you license your product, we're forced to get the Enterprise version for some departments. However, the Enterprise version is complete overkill for these departments. They do not need things like Assets, Changes, Problems, Projects, etc. Is there a way for us to disable/hide these menus from techs using these instances? We only want them to see Requests, Solutions, Reports and that's

Change Freeze
Hi there, There have been a few posts requesting change freeze functionality from around 6 years ago. It's on the roadmap for release however in the meantime it can be manually achieved by placing a field and form rule on submit with the code below. Hopefully this will be useful to others. //Specify Change Freeze Dates here frzstart = new Date('25 Dec 2019, 00:00:00'); frzend = new Date('29 Dec 2019, 00:00:00'); // If change start or end dates are within the freeze window // the form submission will
Add Technician or email address to Note
I'd like to request a feature of adding a technician or email address to a note so that a note can be specifically addressed to someone other than the Technician assigned to the request. We like to use notes to have conversations amongst the technicians. The problem is that, the only person notified about a note being added is the Technician assigned to the request. It would be great if you can add a little box at the bottom of the notes window that allows you to type in a Technician or email

Limiting Service Catalogue Visibility for Site Technicians?
It is relatively straightforward to limit the visibility of services in the service catalogue for Requestors. This is driven by a flag on the Service Catalogue service template that says 'show to requestor' with a subsequent filter to specific User Groups. I have several technicians set up (through roles) to see their site (requests) only. This works well for requests and for the trimming of the interface in general (seeing changes, not seeing assets etc.). The problem is that these site specific

Searching requesters by Login Name
I'm making a custom interface screen and want my technicians to be able to search requesters directly by Login Name. SearchRequester.do?fromModule=WorkOrder&startsWith=X is fast, but only seems to search on names. SearchN.do?fromModule=WorkOrder&searchText=X can find Login Name, but is much slower since it's searching all fields, I assume. Is there any parameter for either of those functions to do the search I need? Thanks!
Reminder for outstanding approvals
I was wondering if there is a way to configure reminder notifications to be sent to approvers who have not acted on an approval within a certain amount of time. I do know that on the ServiceDesk home page the number of pending approvals appears, but most of our approvers will not be users that will be signed in to ServiceDesk on a regular basis.

Architecture performance and scalability
The service desk system is filled with new features, but the architecture of the solution stands still, for example: 1. There is no Fail over services, the implementation of FOS is a warm reserve. This add-on works only on MS windows and does not Fail over. 2. Scalability - there is no possibility of horizontal scaling, for example, several application servers on different servers work simultaneously as a whole (for example, Apache Tomcat cluster), this would also solve the problem of fault tolerance.
End User Desk Portal
Hi all. I am new to the Service Desk platform and thought I would pose the questions here. I have been trying to find the association of the service categories within the "Create an Issue" and "Request a Service" on the web portal. Is there a way to separate out the service categories etc..from these 2 aspects? It seems to me that currently, in either "create an issue" or "request a service", the same information is presented. I feel this could confuse my end users via terminology. I like the idea

Filter Email Ids to Notify
Is it possible through a script to filter addresses shown in the Directory to a certain domain? We would like the ability to allow users to add a cc'd address in some request forms. The challenge is the directory is quite large and contains many domain addresses (gmail, hotmail, etc..). So to avoid having information shared to the incorrect address or worse, outside of the organization, is there a way to filter this directory?
Creating a Pick List of Users
I'm interested in creating an incident - additional field which will be populated with a list of ServiceDesk users. I'm hoping to use this to allow users to select those users higher than them in the chain of command for use with approvals. I have never really messed much with scripting in ServiceDesk, so I'm not sure if this is something that will be simple to do.
