Need clarification on Approval functionality in the Change module
Can you please clarify how the approval process works in the Change module? When more than one CAB member is added for approval, shouldn't they both get a notification email? What if there is only one CAB member added and that person approves the change. THEN, a second CAB member is added. Will the newly added CAB member receive a notification email stating that they have a change to approve? If there is more than one CAB member added for approval on a change, do they both have to approve the change

service desk "jump to" Opmanager
Since we moved Opmanager to another server, the "jump to" function from sd+ to Opmanager is broken. Where do we enter the new ip address for the Opmanager so that SD+ can locate it?
Send SMS on escalation
Hi What we would like is, depending on the priority of an incident, send an escalation SMS to the Service Manager. I can only find an option to send an email. Is it possible at all to send an SMS on escalation and/or potential SLA breaches ? kr, Peter
blue result screen when replying to email
ever since we upgraded to 7602 we get the following screen with a blue banner at the top with the word result in it when we reply to emails in a case. this only happens sometimes. closing the browser and reluanching will fix it temporarily. upgrading to 7603 did not fix the problem. see attached screenshot.
Attachment Size Limit?
Is there a maximum size limit on attachments that are able to be "auto-logged" from the specified mailbox? We can't seem to get a 11MB file to attach, a 8MB one works fine, it's a PDF. Our maximum size limit for internal mail is 15MB, is it possible to increase it to 15MB? Halp :)
Any Way to shrink DB size
Hi - I was hoping that with the archiving option introduced in version 7.6 that this would facilitate reduction in DB size ? However have turned this option on, auto archiving anything over 12 months old, however it seems to put the data into a separate list still within the live DB. Whilst this makes searches back through the DB quicker as they by default dont seem to include the archived stuff, this does not appear to address the issue of ever expanding (and slowing down) database size. Is there
Custom view question
We have a number of custom views so that different technicians can see just their own assigned calls easily. I want to create an additional custom view so that each technician see their own assigned calls AND any calls that have come into the service desk and are currently 'unassigned' I dont seem to be able to do this using the advanced filtering within custom views ? Thanks
control of tables backed up
I have created a couple of additional control tables in the SD database containing essentially static data I use to provide some additional reporting functionality - grouping SLA's together as one reporting entity for instance. No UI issues and reporting works fine. The thing that has just tripped me up is the backups, they are obviously controlled by a list somewhere of the table names it should backup. So I did a full backup and the restored to a test instance to carry out an upgrade/dr test and
HTTP Status 500 error on login
I am getting a Tomcat error on login to ServiceDesk Plus (see attached screen shot). I've tried logging the issue online but have had no response. I've seen this mentioned on the forums a few times but no solution is posted, has anyone fixed this before ? It's a real problem as it's locked out myself (the only system admin) and our front line helpdesk person.
Violation of primary key constraint 'global config_pk'

Modifying SLA's - loss of conditions
Using 7602 I've noticed what appears to be a bug when the SLA is modified. I created a SLA with a selection of ITEMS as the control point for the SLA as well as the request type being REQUEST. That works fine, and shows the SLA as REQUEST TYPE is "Request" AND (Item is "X" or "Y" or "Z") If the line covering the ITEM is then amended the resulting SLA is REQUEST TYPE is "Request" AND ("X" or "Y" or "Z") - note ITEM is missing! Seems if the SLA is in it's original form and then a NEW selection line

Global View Customization
Dear Friends How can we customize the Global View tab? I need to add Group Field in the combo where Priority, Level, Category etc are available as list; to monitor the performance and total tickets of Groups and their technicians. Thanks and Regards Abdul Majid Khan
Help me understand 'onhold' and request due dates
Hi, This is probably a dumb question, but when a technician changes the status of a request from 'open' to 'onhold', what happens to the due date for the request? I was assuming that the 'onhold' status should stop the due date timer, but on the request list view, the 'due by' column appears to show the original due date that would have been calculated (creation date/time + service level duration). Similarly, the 'due date' shown when I view the request is also showing the same date/time and I can't
Report Catalog
Think this got suggested a while back before the forum moved to this new home. Just to collect all the report requests produced into a easy to navigate area. The intention being that anyone looking for a report can look at the ones already available and see if any of them match or come close, sometimes the hardest part of the report is working out how to start it OR finding just one elusive field. If the reports were categorised by the area they cover, like Requests, Asset etc as per the product
Searching Description and/or Notes
Hi, I feel as though I am missing something obvious and hopefully I am. How do I search for something based on a request description and/or content of a note. I do not wish to create a filter or custom report, just a one-off search. Thanks for the help.
Software licenses
When I use orders to buy software, I write software name the way it was written by reseller. After buying a license, I can install software on workstations. But after installing software and scanning a workstation, I can see that software name differs from supplied by reseller. And system shows me that I have license violation. How can I link software-asset license and installed-software license?
Managing resources (in this case printers)
There's a lot of information I'd like at quick disposal for resources, specifically printer IP, printer general information i.e. the vendors service tag # for the printer, their phone number, typical user setup scenarios i.e. scanning paths, credentials etc. Since ServiceDesk Plus doesn't have any "Free form text areas" I was going to attach .txt documents to the asset with key information; however, from time to time these .txt files will need updating and ServiceDesk Plus is only opening the .txt

Variables in Survey Text
What variables are available to use in the body of the e-mail that is sent to recipients of a survey request. The default template only has $REQUESTERNAME $SURVEYLINK Ideally we'd like the $TITLE in there so they remember what the survey will be about, and possibly the Start date. Regards, Andy
Asset/Purchase Order Question
I have entered a Purchase Order for a new laptop. The laptop has come in and it is now showing up under the assets. How can I associate the Purchase Order with the Asset and carry over all of the costs? I went to "Actions" and "Attach Asset" but it did not carry over any of the costs.
servicdesk email links
the email link in the helpdesk request does not go directly to the helpdesk case. takes you to the homepage instead of the case - this has been happending since we upgrded to 7602 the link in the display of the email looks accurate but when you look at the source code of the email it shows something else. correct link - http://rmphelpdesk/WorkOrder.do?woMode=viewWO&woID=16113 source link - http://RMPHelpdesk/WorkOrder.do?woMode=viewWO&woID=16113 - this one takes you to the homepage..
Technician not appearing as requester
Hi there - Ever since we upgraded to build 7018, none of the technicians appear as a requestor in the list... This is handy, as for example i raise calls in my name for my team for jobs I want them to do for me. Also another minor issue in that before we used to start to type a requesters name in and servicedesk would bring down the drop down box for us to click on the name, which would then populate the fields. This no longer populates the fields, we have to click in the directory and search that
Purchase Order Assign Scaned Assets
I have a questions regarding the PO module. When you fill out a PO, approve it you can receive the assets. This creates an asset called "Computer - PO #1" for example. But, then you put the new asset onto the network, and it gets scanned, now there are two entries in the asset list, one from the PO, and one from when it scanned the actual asset. My Question, how to I get these to be the same asset. I would like to have the PO attached to the asset but I need the details. I am sure I am just doing

emailing a requestor or 3 party person
How would I go about creating a business rule (or by some other mechanism) that automatically emails a person I designate when a ticket is created. For example, any ticket/request that is created that has "virus" or the like should be copied/emailed to a person that is not one of our techs but needs to be notified. He is listed as a requester, but for licensing/political reasons is not a technician. Thanks
New install of ServiceDesk with different database name
Hello, we are installing a second ServiceDesk Server, but the database is going on the same MSSQL 2005 database backend. Since we cannot have two databases called "ServiceDesk" on the same server, is there a way that I can simply change the name of the database to be created during the setup. I beleive that this is currently non-editable in the setup. Once again, this is a brand new install, with no data to move over. Thank you. Dave
Default Request Template - Questionaire
Build 7505 We've configured our default request template to make the Description field mandatory, but that doesn't mean that our users are going to supply good information while describing the problem. What we'd like to do is have the Description field prepopulated with questions for them to answer. This is after trying to create additional fields with text boxes for these questions, the inability to resize the multiline text boxes make the form unuseable and frankly ugly but SDP's god awful formatting
