Clarification on one of the upcoming features
I was looking at your upcoming SDP features and was curious what this item means: Gamification to break the monotony of the everyday and motivate technicians to enjoy their work. Can you explain what this feature is and what it entails? I'm just very curious how you re accomplishing this. Thanks!
Purchase Approvers \ Technicians
In order to approve a purchase does the user have to be a technician? We have quite a few people that approve purchases and some once or twice a year yet it consumes a technician license currently.
Incident templates Rules - On Change
When we have a rule e.g. A Execute Script which sets the subject when a technician field is change, why when we click the edit button by the request details (Under the Requester Conversation) does the rule not fire. But when I enter the full edit mode by clicking the Edit button on the top of the form does the rule fire? Is there a work around to make this work? Thanks
Custom triggers - what is the definition of edit?
Hi everyone, I am trying to create a custom trigger for requests that will trigger automatically when the Status changes to Open. These requests have an approval process in place and before the approval has been given, the status will be initially placed On Hold. To do this, I have created a custom trigger that will be triggered on creation and on edit. I can see that the script runs when when the ticket is created but when the status is changed automatically to open after the request has been approved,

Spacer field type and Label control for form design, field layout problem
I have an idea on making a service request form to fill in a lot of fields for vendor creation. The following feature on form customization is highly desired: 1. Spacer field - to separate sections of fields to make the form more readable 2. Label field - static text as instruction for users to fill the form 3. Attachment mandatory + multiple (optional) - Instruct users to submit their forms with appropriate multiple attachments Also there is a problem for <empty> field: Consider the following design:

Question about FCR (First Call Resolution)
FCR refers when the technician resolves the ticket of the first visit or that does not pass it to another technician. SDP does not know when that ticket happened to another technician and the option of FCR continues appearing. That call that pass to another technician or level can no longer be FCR. But the option continues to appear. I have many questions with this very important option to set KPI and metrics.

REST API via PowerShell - Need example for adding attachment to Task
I am able to create Tasks and add them to a Request. What I need help with is uploading an attachment to a Task using Invoke-RestMethod in PowerShell. I can work with the API Documentation tool in the Admin tab to upload an attachment to a Task but it doesn't show the information for the multipart boundary information for the attachment so that I can replicate it in the Invoke-RestMethod call. Anyone have a PowerShell example out there? Thanks.
Hide Attachments?
Hi there, I have to send emails to outside help desks for my clients. I don't want my clients to know who I'm contacting on their behalf, so I don't ever let them see my emails unless I edit them. For tracking and historical purposes I want to include my emails in the ticket as an attachment. The requester can see that attachment, this is undesirable. Is there any way to hide the attachments to not be visible to the requester? Thanks in advance, Lou

Reply templates for service requests
Am I right in thinking that additional fields on service requests are not available for use in reply templates? When I say reply templates, I don't mean the ones under Organisational Details>Notification Rules, rather the ones under the Helpdesk>Reply Templates section. If this is the case, are there any plans to add (remedy) this?
Help Desk Product Transition
Good Morning, We are new to the Service Desk Plus community and are in the process of transitioning from ServiceAide's Cloud Service Management (Formerly CA CSM) to ManageEngine's Service Desk Plus. Has anyone here gone from CSM to ServiceDesk Plus? I believe this is our third move of this type. May I ask, for those that were in that position, what have been your pain points? What data, if any did you bring from your old system to the new? What tips can you give us for when we start setting things
Make time "Time taken to resolve" a mandatory field when creating a work log

Problems when defining roles, referring to permissions on the requests module
Hi all. We are experiencing problems when trying to define permissions on the requests module, when configuring the Technical roles. The role we try to define is that of a technician, who should be able to work on his requests and those assigned to any of the groups to which he belongs. A kind of technician only operative. For our definition, the technician should be able to visualize, reply to the requester, generate tasks (if applicable), and finally resolve the request. But he should not be able

Query blocking in SQL creating work stoppages
Hello, we are getting some frequent query blocking in SQL for ServiceDesk Plus. It seems to happen 1-3 times a day. We have tried to create a support dump file since when the query is blocking we cannot do much of anything in ServiceDesk and it is mainly unavailable. We are running SDP 9324 on a VM with 10 GB RAM and 4 Cores. 95% of the time the blocking query is this: (@P0 bigint,@P1 bigint,@P2 bigint,@P3 bigint)UPDATE "WO_Tech_Info" SET "NEXTTECHNICIANID"= @P0 , "ENDTIME"= @P1 , "TIMESPENT"= @P2
fileattachments.zip files
We ran out of space on our SD server, and I see that there are these zip files (fileattachment1.zip, etc) in the root ServiceDesk folder. I cannot delete them because Java.exe has that process open. What are these files, and how can I relocate them to another drive? Thank you.

Hi all, I am having problems with SSO and Active Directory. If I access my site using host name only, SSO works. If I add my internal domain name to the host name, I receive an "Authentication Required" box in Chrome. What am I missing? I know it's something simple. Thanks, David
Forwarding requests within sites
Hello all, I have a scenario where I will have two installs of SD+ being used by 2 different departments in the same organisation. I may want requests that come in to one department forwarded to the other. When the request is created, it gets its ID number. All well and good. If a tech in dept 1 needs to forward a request that has come to the wrong department to department 2 and the ID number already exists in dept 2, the request will append to the conversation history of the existing request.

Leave Approval via Request
SDP Has a fairly robust schedule feature. Lots of moving parts involved. I was wondering if it's possible to make a request, with approval, for time off and then, on approval, add the dates to the schedule based on the category chosen. All the pieces look to be there, I just don't know if they all talk to each other or flow together. Possible? Has anyone done this before? Thanks David
Changing the host name on the ServiceDesk Plus server
I am working on a migration of SD+ to a new server. SD+ is currently running on server_A and we are standing up server_B to migrate to a new OS (Windows Server 2008 R2) and database (MS SQL 2005). I have read the FAQ and have the migration instructions, but my Administrator has a question I have not yet found an answer for. As the last step in the migration we are planning on shutting down the old server (server_A) and changing the name and IP address of the new server (server_B) to the old server's
