The Requester deletes my "Request Closure Code" when perform the "$RequestCloseLink"
Hi, As the title says, at the moment when the requester confirms the solution through the RequestCloseLink (sent in the resolution by mail) and clicked the box "Close Request" the system immediately change the previous "Request Closure Code" set as "En Espera de Confirmacion" And leaves it as " "Not Assigned" We mesure the customer satisfaction with this "Closure Code", and when the System does that, we can't even see this request closed by the customer in the Reports. Also, the "Request Closure

Scanned software list
Hi everyone, We are in a process in which we are trying to make our servicedesk more clean and effective, with regards to both reporting and usage.. We have been looking at the software part of the assets, and came across a problem, which is how do we make software "bloatware"/unmanaged software disappear from the servicedesk? e.g. I can see that I can add them to excluded, but that doesn't "remove" the software from the inventory, which is a bit messy.. Does anyone want to share how they use the
Purchase Order multi level approval
Hi, In our PO workflow, we have defined multi level approval based on approval limits. In one specific situation, when a PO is already approved by all levels before ordering there is a change required in PO. After the changes are made to PO, it is again submitted for approval. This approval should again pass through all the levels before order can be placed. However, after editing the PO, only first level approval mark the order as approved. Because of this, the second and third level approvers are

aeagent.exe error 0xc0150002
Hi, I am running SDP+ 9233 and upgrading agents to version 1.0.23. However on windows 2008R2 servers I am unable to install/upgrade the agent.

'Completed requests' & 'Waiting for my update' I'm currently on 9.3 Build 9306 Thanks Sam
Where did the Reply button go when a technician is replying to another technician's email? Can only Forward or Resend.
After an update yesterday, a technician is unable to reply to another technician's email in the request The only options are Forward and Resend. This is very inefficient. We should not have to leave service desk, open a separate email application and create a new email, just to create a reply. There are MANY times, when more than one technician is involved in a request. Notes a good tool, but not always the best way to communicate. Thank you.

Auto-assigning either Tasks or requests to different groups?
This has probably been answered before, but I couldn't find it... I want to do this: Requester completes a request to process a new employee. They will always need a network ID so always create a task for the Network team. Do they need a phone? If yes auto assign a task to the Telcom Group Do they need a computer? If yes auto assign a task to the Hardware group. I know how to set the rules, but it will only allow me to auto-assign to ONE group. There must be a way to do this. I would think it's
How to keep tickets from being auto-assigned to technicians on leave?
Our helpdesk hours are: 7:30am-4:30pm. We have a 2 hour SLA. For some reason, MESD auto-assigns tickets based on SLA ending date/time rather than ticket creation time. I was told this is by design. So if a technician is on leave today (which MESD defines as the same as the helpdesk hours), if a ticket comes in at 2:31pm, the SLA ending time is 4:31pm which is past the leave time for the day. So MESD says, "The technician is no longer on leave, I will assign them the ticket." After the ticket is assigned

Requester replies not going through to technician via email
Hi all, Info: We are running the on premise version of Service Desk Plus. Currently we are using Version 9.3 Build 9308 running on a WAMP Server 2012 R2 server. Problem: When a technician replies from their email to a user, the email gets logged in the ticket, then the user receives an email with the technicians reply (this works just fine).

Locking down Request Category and Subcategory but not Item
Hello, I notice when setting up new templates that Category/Subcategory/Item are somehow interlinked - so for example I cannot hide Category and Subcategory from a requester without also hiding the Item. What I am trying to do is keep Category and Subcategory fixed leaving the requester to be able to select the Item only. How can this be done without creating a new template for every combination?

Conversion of a service request to an incident
Hello, In our environment, converting a service request to an incident is very useful, in order to revert the operation, if an incident had been converted to a service request using the wrong service request template #1. However, when the service request is converted to an incident, all the tasks from the service request #1 remain in the incident. When converting the incident to a service request again, this time using the correct service request template #2, new tasks are added. So we end up with

Business Rules - what tables are the Business Rule query parts stored in?
Hi - we are trying to maintain 140+ business rules. Each business rule contains a long "Subject contains" statement, containing multiple customer codes. E.g. "Subject contains "BLAH" or "BLAH1" or "BLAH3" (up to 25 more) or "BLAH25"" We use these rules to detect client codes in email subjects, and route them to specific technicians. The maintenance on these is currently untenable - we want to modify these rules directly in the database if possible. I have found the RuleDefinition table, which contains
