Using Asset Module and CMDB for managing the Employee OnBoarding/'Offboarding' Life Cycle
Managing assets for employees is challenging, especially in this day of distributed access. When an employee leaves the company, we not only need to ensure that the hardware is recovered and the domain and application accounts are disabled, we also have to ensure that any cloud services the user subscribes to are also disabled. If all the services were provided at the time of onboarding, that would simplify matters. If this were the case, we would simply refer to the original onboarding service request

Dumb question about Project fields
How should I use the "Project ON" field ??
Fields&Form Rules in service catalog
Dear assistance, I create a service request, and I set ‘GV SPA APP Group’ (support group) as default. Then I set Fileds&Forms Rules setting conditions like point 1; actions 2-3-4 are available, only 5 conditions doesn’t allow me to choose the support group that i want. I would like to set ‘GV SPA RETAIL Support’ as group and ‘CSA Support’ as technicians when conditions 1 is satisfied. Could you please tell a way to da that? I tried with a business rule, but it didn’t work. Thanks. EP
How to restrict a field from technicians
We are having issues with technicians raising the priority of a ticket. It is critical that only a specific set of people have this ability, because it launches our Major Incident Management process, and shows up on management reports. Is there a way to restrict technicians with edit access from being able to set this field? I was thinking of removing most of the technicians ability to edit tickets. Not sure if this would restrict their ability to enter tickets, though. Also thinking of setting a

Identifying which Templates use a particular Additional Field
We're currently in the process of trying to tidy up our Incidents templates (see my other post also https://pitstop.manageengine.com/portal/community/topic/hiding-deleting-inactive-incident-templates) One thing I've spotted is that 2 Additional Fields have been created for the same purpose: At initial glance, I would estimate 50% of the templates use the first one, and 50% use the second one. As you can see one is AlphaNumeric, the other is numbers only (and sometimes external refs include letters

MultiSelect Fields in Advanced Filtering (Reports)
When creating reports, I noticed that Multiselect type fields are not included in the options on Advanced Filtering. Is this the normal function of Service Desk? There are some multiselect fields that we need to use to sort and filter in our reports.
Help Text
I use FAFR to populate my incident template, depending on what they pick the ticket gets assigned to the correct group. When a user selects a certain option, I populate the subject line with "Issue: "PLEASE PROVIDE A BRIEF DESCRIPTION HERE" and the subject is mandatory. I was wondering if there is a way to put some sort of help text in there that say "Issue: "PLEASE PROVIDE A BRIEF DESCRIPTION HERE" but requires (mandatory) the user to actually put something in that field. So when they start typing

Default Search has changed after update
After updating to version 9.3.16 the search field has been changed to function of Request ID instead of Default Search. See screenshot - Previously, there was a seperate search field for Request ID. We would like to know how to get the field back for having the Request ID and the Default Search in seperate fields, and the 'type here to search' box set by default to 'Default Search'. As you can see on the NEW VIEW part of the screenshot, it is defaulting to Request ID. If not possible to bring back

Executive Level Notification
In SD+, how could we create a request template or notification rule that will notify specific email accounts when we have a major outage. I have been looking through the system and I don't see an obvious way to do this. The resources I'm trying to notify aren't all technicians in the system. I'm trying to avoid having my help desk need to "remember" the correct contacts to notify based on different urgency levels. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!

Passthru authentication questions
The instructions show how to target a single domain controller. Can we get ServiceDesk Plus to use an alternate DC for passthrough authentication if a DC is rebooted or temporarily down? The local intranet zone is an Internet Explorer setting. Does this mean passthrough authentication is only supported in IE? Are there workarounds for Chrome?
Request Notes vs. Worklogs
I'm new to ServiceDesk Plus, but I find that I'm not sure if people are using Notes or Worklogs to document their work in the ticket. Coming from ServiceNow we use to just use Work Notes and it was clear as to what we should use. What is the Best Practice from ServiceDesk Plus?

Tech Availability Chart: Managing Team Members
Curious to hear how others are using the chart to view team member availability for projects/tasks/tickets etc... We have 100 techs across the organization split into 20+ support groups. We are having our PMs/TLs/Managers use the chart to plan out work but with how the groups are separated (ex: application support teams, system support teams, functional teams, etc) it's becoming harder to get 'one' view of everyone. To try and eliminate unneeded techs/vendors, we created a generic support group
