A Change cannot be saved if one of the Implementers (Change role) has been removed as Technician/Requester
One of the roles in one of the Change Templates is Implementer. When setting up the template one chooses the Technicians who are allowed to perform the required action (it would be great to set this up as a group). When an employee leaves the organisation and the Technician license is taken from that person he/she is still in the Implementer role in the Change Template. That in itself is not a problem but what we encountered was that users are unable to save that Change Template, an error occurs:
Custom View based on current user and group
I want to create a custom request view that can be used by other technicians. I was wondering if there is a way to put Technician = sdp_user.USERNAME, instead of having to pick a tech. What I want to achieve is: Show all open ticket for the current technician plus show all unassigned tickets a specific group queue I found this ticket, but it's for the cloud version. On-prem doesn't do nested query and still doesn't have option to get current technician. https://pitstop.manageengine.com/portal/community/topic/custom-view-my-open-group-unassigned
Adding documents to a Change Template
Hi all, I was wanting to add an impact assessment document to the assess phase for every change. Is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance. Brett
[SD-79002] Credits in Procurement Cost (decimal) field
We have a common Decimal field in which we put purchase costs in our ticket templates, however if we try to implement a credit in that field using a negative value (ex. -99.55) it won't accept that as a legit value. In our example a telecom provider sent us an invoice with a credit that we need to 'bill' our business unit. So we'd need to indicate that as the credit. No big deal creating a new numerical field but i wanted to see how others might have worked around this type of scenario (if at all).
Date?
I have several date questions: 1. Can I set the date format to ISO standard of 2018-02-13 ? (yyyy-mm-dd with hyphens) 2. "Mark Unavailability" date does not seem to follow either of the two date formats set in "Personalize". Is that format adjustable? (I can't attach the screenshots)
Not able to change anything under Organization Detail
All fields reset back to default fillers when I clicked on "Save"

How to add login field to requester data

bypass approval process for a management group
Hello, Is there a way to bypass the approval process (i.e. auto approve) a request based on a group membership? For example, a VIP requester does not need an approval so their request should be automatically approved. Perhaps through a business rule? Thanks
Software within incident
Hi - We currently have a large number of subcategories that list all the software we support, as can be imagined this list is becoming rather unruly and difficult to manage. Can anyone recommend a better way of achieving this without having a free text field that’s difficult to report on? I was thinking a FAFR that pulls from all identified pieces of software using the API but different versions and naming conventions may have the same problem we’ve already got. Thanks

Service Request Resource Order
I had 2 resources in a service in the order i wanted. I needed to change one of the questions in one of the resources. I changed the question, and now the order of my resources has changed.

How to update a requester's password from api
I am able to create a requester via API with the xml below. But I havent been able to get the update requester working. We are primarily a linux shop w/ only ~150 users in AD the rest of our users are on different databases so we have written a web form that creates/ deletes /updates our users on AD / internal systems / etc from a central point. Currently I am able to create and delete a requester but not update. The documentation isnt very clear... was hoping someone else ran into this. Thanks,

Version 10.5 (10504) Upgrade Problems
After upgrading to 10504, we are seeing a couple of incidents. (1) Search (search box from the request tab) does not work as expected. We can search for a specific ticket number, but text searches do not yield any results. Most of our requesters start with a number and if you enter the number it yields no records. The previous version would yield results with this type of search. (2) From the request grid, we often change the support group to the proper support group for unassigned tickets. It
Auto-Assign and Leave
We use round robin auto assign for our calls, but it's frustrating to use in terms of coping with technician unavailability. It would be nice to be able to use the calendar to mark technicians unavailable and have the auto-assign take this into account. But for some odd reason it only takes into account the day the call SLA becomes due and not whether the technician is actually available when the call is raised. This seems very odd behavior to me. Since all our calls come in with a default long SLA,

Error on Script - Score calculation
Dear. Good morning. I mention to you the problem we are having. Currently we have several templates to which we put together a kind of Scoring system, based on several fields list. This system, in addition to the fields, consists of a Script that we developed at the time with assistance from the ManageEngine community. The idea of running the script would be the following: Must be executed only when ALL fields are assigned a different value than "Choose" or Null When performing the calculation
Set Dueby field on ticket creation automatically
Dear all, I already searched for a solution in the KB or the forum without success. My question is: I would like to set the Dueby time of a ticket automatically on ticket creation. For example (Standard incident template Priority = normal). New ticket created -> Priority = normal -> set Dueby time automatically to "today + 4 work hours later". Example: Ticket created today, 06/26/2019, 10a.m. -> Set DueBy time automatically to 06/26/2019, 2p.m. Thank you, Best regards, Marc
Unable to associate support group to template
Hi there, This is the first time I've ever seen this error and am not quite sure what it means - I have two support groups associated to a service request template already, but I need to add another now. When I save the changes I get the attached error. Is it referring to the site set for the one technician within the support group? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Round Robin Assignment Shifts
I have setup the SSP and auto-create feature for when a new E-mail comes in so a ticket will be created and automatically assigned to a technician. The problem I am running in to is that I cannot setup working shifts for the techs. I do not want a ticket automatically assigned to a technician that is not working at the time. I have 5 people who work during the day, 1 person who works night shift and 2 people who work weekends. Is there a way to set up a schedule of people that the round robin feature

Asset scan - Wrong Product Type > CIType association
Hi, I have a problem when scanning assets. I'm using the agent and I configured a custom product as you can see in the following picture: The scan finds the exact model -> "Latitude 7490" but sets the CIType to "Server" instead of "Workstation - Laptop". If I try to edit the asset Product Name manually then it gets linked to the right CIType. This is the state right after the scan: Then I click on Actions->Modify Type: and without changing anything I just click Save. Doing so moves the asset directly
Pre-configured SDP with basic industry standard templates
Do we have or has anybody tried a pre-configured SDP with basic Industry Standard Template? Reason is we are doing a lot of Client POC, so instead of configuring from time to time Can we create (from back-up) or any other way so that we can load a pre-configured basic or advance configuration with industry standard templates. So that we can just load the back up on every POC request. Any suggestions are highly appreciated. Thanks, Allan
Windows Agent - Why port 9000?
