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

Else request will be auto closed post 3 reminder. Regards, Subrata Pradhan
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!
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

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

ServiceDesk Plus Sites
I'll start off with a question. Are sites needed for my organization? Now the reason I ask. I was not part of the group that initially set up our ManageEngine products for my organization. I've been in it for about a year myself and in that time I've realized that many things weren't set up in the best use manner. I'm sure this is from lack of understanding since it was all a learning process. And once things got to a point where they worked, it was kept that way since it was good enough. I work
Can't login with SDADMIN accounts
I Downgraded some ADDC on my domain, and one of them was the server where I authenticated my login accounts. Now i had 2 SDADMIN accounts, but both are domain accounts, and because the domain controller authenticated my accounts for login, now i can't login with a SDADMIN to change the ADDC server to authenticated.

When a request is closed are there any scripts or triggers that will allow me to export certain fields and the attachment to a folder location as a CSV? 2. When a request is closed are there any scripts or trigger that will allow me to move certain fields and attachments to the contract module as a new contract? My compliance team is using SDP now for new contract review requests. When they complete the request we are trying automate two things.
Time elapsed equal to 00:00:00
I've analysed the reports of last month in more details and I saw that for some tickets the 'time elapsed' is '00:00:00' with the 'request status' on 'closed'. The 'time created' is 'May 4, 2018 08:35 AM' and the 'close time' is 'May 4, 2018 10:32 AM' . Any one an explanation or a direction where I should go to analyse this. For the same month, we 've tickets were the 'time elapsed' is correctly calculated. regards Koen Vlemincx

Is there some where in SDP we could trace the approval made to a requester? when we query requests by requester, its Request details does not show the entire workflow for a particular ID, just the initial request, but a approval log for respective requested would be useful for future reference.
Import hour registration from ManageEngine to Accountview

HTTPS for ServiceDesk on Windows with LetsEncrypt
Can anyone shed some light on if this is even possible? I'm still quite new to the world of SSL Certificates, but I've successfully installed LetsEncrypt for Windows IIS.

[SOLVED] Auto change Status after some time when waiting for an answer
Good Day, If we are sending a message out of a ticket, we often put the status on Hold, which does also stop the SLA as long as the status stays like this. If the customer however does not reply to the message, the ticket stays like this and no one is looking after it anymore and there is no progress. It is kind of a dead end. Is there an option to prevent this from happening? For example, the status changes automatically to in Progress after 5 days or that the system sends a reminder to the customers

Prevent technicians from picking up tickets without filling in mandatory fields
So we have setup On Form Load rules which work great - if we want to change the tehcnician from Unassgined to Assigned - this mandates fields like category etc. this does not apply to 'Pickup' though so when a technician selects Pick Up request, it will allow to get the technician assigned without entering mandatory fields. How to make Pick Up invoke Mandate fields requirement? Thanks.
Keyword Search - Very few number of results
Current version 10017 In the keyword search on the home page at the top, with Default Search chosen, the number of results are very small for the word being put in. Example, the first name of a technician that has been using it for over 5 years got 19 results. Is there an explanation for so few results? Also the documentation on using the keyword search is very thin. I do not see anything talking about how to use wildcards, if double quotes or Boolean can be used. Also what does the [/] mean in
ServiceDesk Change Notification
Running ServiceDesk Build: : 10.0 Build 10017 We've had training on this already by ManageEngine however I am continuing to struggle with notifications on Change Management.

We have a simple change control process. 1. Requester submits a change. 2. Change gets created 3. Requester completes the planning stage No email notifications
