Replying to an SMS Notification
We have ServiceDesk setup to send SMS notifications to our technicians when a request is assigned to them. We have our Blackberry email addresses specided in the 'SMS Mail ID' field. However, when trying to reply to the SMS, ServiceDesk creates a new ticket, rather than threading the reply into the previously opened request. For example, if Request ID #1 gets assigned to me, I get an SMS notification sent to my Blackberry device. Then, if I'm out in the field, I reply to the SMS notification to say
SD Plus 6: Technician list tied with default grp in template
On request save, SD 6 always defaults to group in the template upon save even when we change it before saving. In SD Plus 6, we have setup a form template with default group selected. The group includes some technician. Now create a new request using that form and select a technician not in the group by setting group as "no, just a technician" and select from list of technician. After saving the request, notice that group is defaulted to the template form. Also, when you edit this request, the technician

SDPlus 6 to 7 upgrade problems
I'm experiencing problems while upgrading to version 7 with importing assets and work stations, they are not showing up correctly in the new version and it throws an error when trying to delete all workstations to re-import the saved information with the Error Code - 1,206,025,836,390. Also is there a way to eliminate workstations that are pulled from AD that aren't active any longer?

Images in solutions
What are the "rules" regarding embedding images in solutions? From time to time I see an article or an email that would be useful to add to solutions. I select all, copy and paste into a new solution, no images. Send the same information in an email to SD+, creating a request, select all, copy and then create a resolution that is also a solution, paste and it works fine. Also I am finding that more and more I need to format a solution externally to SD+ i.e. in WordPad, as the formatting inside SD+

Resolution and Close procedure
In our current helpdesk software, our closing procedure is as follows: 1. When technician has resolved the ticket, he goes in and places the ticket as resolved. An email is generated to the technician and the IT manager. 2. When the IT manager has time he goes in and looks at the resolution and then he closes the ticket. An email is generated to requester, technician, and IT manager. I do not see a way to do this with sdp. What am I missing? The most important part is a way to segregate resolved

New SDP licensing
I first started using SDP back at v5. I used the free version for a while to test it. It worked well and was decently priced. I am a small business so the pricing was right. Even though I didn't need to at the beginning, I purchased the product. I then utilised the product further and further. Last year I paid $495 for a two user license. My license expires in about 35 days. I have been told to renew the license I have to pay $1,195. This is an insulting increase in price. SDP is great but I still
ServiceDesk VS Remedy - Opinions?
My company currently uses Remedy for call tracking and asset management. Unfortunately, we don't have the staff to manage this beast, and the performance is garbage. On top of that, entering a ticket or an asset takes an eternity. I'm looking at ServiceDesk because it appears to offer everything we need, has a great interface and doesn't require any special training to make changes. Has anyone made the switch from Remedy to ServiceDesk? Even if you haven't, I'd be interested to hear opinions on how

HTML Forms in Request Templates
I created some HTML forms for our user request templates for new hires. In IE 6/7, the user needs to double click the form field to enter information. This is for input fields, drop down boxes and checkboxes. In Firefox, drop down boxes work fine but input fields and checkboxes do not. Any ideas? Does ServiceDesk support HTML forms in request templates? If not, can it be something that can be added?
department name and job title

Notifying Requester when Technician Replies.
Hi, we have a few technicians that travel most of the time. These techs have the ability to send/receive email messages from their cell phones. When they have a ticket and the Requester sends in an email response, we have the option to notify the technician of that response. If the technician has needs to reply, he has to find a computer, login to Helpdesk, then send the response. If he could reply directly to the message and have SDP notify the Requester of the response, that would save us quite
Associating Minor Software: Adobe Versions
I have Purchased 18 Liencenses for Adobe 8. When I scanned them in, everything turned out great. Since then I have updated them and have some version 8.1.0 to 8.1.2. When the workstations are scanned it shows up in the software. I tried to associate the minor version however, it throws the licensing completly off. It shows that I have 18 licenses but 36 installations. Could you please help!
Software licenses bound to machine only?
A large portion of the software deployed in our environment is licensed to a user, not to a machine. For example, under our MVLS agreement with SA, one single MS Office license can be used for two local installations, as long as they are both used only by the same individual; hence user Joe Smith may have one license covering his software installation on hosts JSMITH1 and JSMITH2. It seems that Individual licenses can only be associated in a one-to-one relationship with workstations, rather than

Hidden fields not hidden to requesters
We have created an extra field called "Dev Team Member", and have not ticked any of the options (Mandatory field, requester can set, requester can view). We will be using this field to show who in the Development team is currently working on it (We are not using technicians for the same reasons as stated below). However, this field will ONLY be used by technicians as under NO circumstances do we want the end requester to know who in the development is dealing with the incident, as they are then able

Filters for narrowing down Request list are broken
I am using SD+ 7 7011. Filters are broken so you can't list Requests using criteria very well at all. As soon as you add more than one condition (i.e. all Requests that are 'In Progress' and are not 'FinanceDept') you get completely random results. This is causing us big problems because we are unable to filter our Requests list and therefore have a long list of Requests that are unmanageable. SD+ 7 is an enterprise product so it is important that we can filter the large number of Requests that come
