How to handle Software Assurance in Software licensing
How do people handle software assurance in the software licensing part of asset module? Ive just realised that i have both licenses with SA and licenses without. I can see this may cause much pain in the future, Especially when you use SA to upgrade and deploy a newer version of an application. Do you make seperate entries with expiries for the SA software and no expiry for the non SA software?

Request category tree
Good morning fellow users: I have been doing some research and building a category tree for my requests. I wanted to see if anyone could share their category tree for service requests for comparison. I've got the high level broken out pretty well for the basic, desktop, printer, server, network, telco, etc.. I'm curious as to how you guys broke things out after that. Any help is most appreciated.

Create request when email sent from server but not user
We have the functionality of creating requests from emails turned off for our users....they can only create a request by filling out the SDP request template. However, I would like to allow the creation of requests from an email from a server only. For example, a request would be created when a server sends a notification email of a down service to SDP. The email address would be consistent. Is it possible to allow the creation of requests from email based on email address? Thanks.

What modification to a request is considered a 'response'?
Hello all, I've recently enabled the response SLA measure within our organisation (previously only using resolution). At what point is a request considered to be 'responded to'? What needs to be changed in the request? An example: A request logged by a user has been assigned to a technician, had it's priority set, and had a public note added, and it still breached the response SLA.. Many thanks!

I want to use SD+ to kick off a job flow in another system when a ticket is entered. Is there anyway to get the information from SD+ to interact with a 3rd party system? I know there is an API for getting information into SD+, but how about a way to get it out? Any ideas?

Can you auto update call status on email reply receipt
Is there a way to automatically update the call status to "waiting for response" if you send out an email from SDP using the reply button? Alternatively if you receive a reply from a requester, can you auto-update the call status back to something else such as "response recieved"? This would make call views easier to manage if you were only worried about actioning tickets you had received replies to. Many thanks, Dean

Search is not searching resolutions
When you do a search for a keyword, it no longer seems to be picking up keywords in the resolution. We are pretty sure it worked before, but we just upgraded to 7012, and now it doesn't seem to be working. Search works, but it only seems to be picking up what is in the "request" field, but not the resolutions. Search has always been a little weak spot in the software, but this makes it really dysfunctional. Anyone else seeing this?
Establishing Associations or Relationships Between existing data
Does anyone have experience creating relationship between two different sets of existing records in a batch/bulk mode using SQL tools? The situation at hand is that we have a number of workstations discovered by scans and a number of monitors loaded with the SDP csv import tool. I would like to establish a relationship between the two records (525 records total) so that it will appear in the "Relationships" tab one sees in Asset Home > Workstations > Asset Name. Does anyone have some advice on

We have not renewed our license with Service Desk Plus because our institution is forceing us to use Remedy.

Is there a way to access this data, even if in read only form? Is it in a file somewhere? Thanks, Kevin

Add CC list to a ticket
Hi, Is there any way to add a persistent CC list to a ticket? Currently, if I want updates to go to the Requester, + 3 other individuals, I have to manually enter the 3 x CC addresses each time I add an update. What I would like to see is a feature where a persistent CC list can be added to a ticket (and subsequently modified throughout the incident lifecycle), where all addresses on the list receive a copy of any updates. Having a trawl over the forums this seems to be a feature which has been requested

Importing (ADDING) Data Into SDP
Hi, We are new to SDP and in the process of moving our asset data from our old database to SDP. The csv import tool seems OK for bring in new, complete records, but I need some information regarding how to go about populating various fields in existing records. For example, a network scan brings back the workstations, but there are additional fields (Think Barcode/Asset Tag) that I would like to populate using data from our previous product.

Security Concern: Password sent over network
Hi, In our organization a question has come up regarding security in the Service Desk tool. With the default setup using http, port 8080, and single sign on disabled, is a users password sent unencrypted over the network.

RSS / XML Feeds to External Apps?
Does SD have any RSS/XML interfaces so that I can pull, say, a users outstanding ticket count or annoucements etc. and publish it on our intranet or other website? It would be nice to extract/pull data from SD like tickets, annoucements, New/popular KB additions etc. directly from webpage/webservice rather than hacking up the application or writing out own db queries... Thanks, TJ P.S. I'm also interested if opManager has a similar RSS/XML feed options (i.e. server status etc.)

Don't want Asset details in ticket
When creating a new ticket, if the Requester has an asset assigned to them then this is automatically populated in any tickets that are created. Is there any way that this can be switched off so that the default Asset is NONE. By having an Asset automatically assigned gives false information on how often a ticket has been raised relating to a specific workstation! A user could be raising a call to say that they can't send an E-mail or need a password reset. This has nothing to do with the Asset assigned

prompt when request already picked up
Is there anyway to prompt a tech when they attempt to pick up a request ticket that has been picked up by a different tech already?

The second tech picks up the ticket and we now have two techs working on the same issue because each thinks the ticket it theirs.
