User reply to incident emails generate new ticket
Hi, We are running SDP7 Build 7009 on SQL 2000 When a user creates a new incident, either via the servicedesk or via email (we use mail fetch) they get the standard email back to say that the incident has been created and the incident number. Now, if the user replies to any of the system emails, or to an email a technician has sent via the servicedesk incident, then the users reply will create a new incident, rather than updating the existing incident. Can anyone explain why this is happening, and

URGENT LICENSING PROBLEM
I'm posting here because I don't know what else to do; my emails have gone unanswered for the past two days and my license will expire in two days. My purchasing department will not take action on renewing our license until they have the invoice/P.O. from last year. I applied for a an academic license last year, received it via email and assumed that AdventNet had billed our purchasing department or had sent them the appropriate information. Apparently they hadn't; when I asked for last year's invoice

Saving an advanced Filter under Inventory
Hi all, I'm new to servicedesk (version 6) and I was wondering if there is a way I can save a filter I use when viewing my workstations in the inventory section of servicedesk. What happens now is, I'll apply a filter to only view machines running windows server OS's and I'll select a machine and edit it. When I save my changes and go back to the inventory screen, it defaults back to the 'all workstations' view and I have to re-apply the filter. Is there any way to save a filter? Thanks! Mike
Sub Category and assign technician
Hi I have a number of categories setup with sub categories. I do not seem to be able to assign a technician to a sub category but only to the major hcategory heading. Is this correct? If so can I suggest that you should be able to assign a sub-category to a technician. It seems odd to restrict it to the main category only. I could make the sub category a main category but that defeats the point and also m akes the list more complicated. I do note that I can enter a Business rule to do this but it
Suggestion - Request pickup vs Alerts
I would have a suggestion for SD+7 ... I like when then system send alerts when a ticket is assigned to a technician, but is there any way to bypass that alert when I pickup a ticket for myself? I know that I have a new request, i've just assigned it to me ... It could verify who the technician assign the request to who, if they match, don't send an alert. It will decrease the number of alerts sent unnecessarily. Thanks Skid
Making use of SLA's
Having entered various SLA's for various situations I am wondering how to assign something to a specific SLA. To be a bit more exact say a request for 1st line support comes in, this would then be assigned to SLA #1. Unfiortunately the 1st Line cannot resolve this and the incident gets bumped up to the 2nd Line, now the incident falls under SLA#2. Where can one assign SLA's to (as an example) different situations? I hope my question is clear. thanks for comments and help!
User's New Request form question
We are almost ready to bring ServiceDesk Plus 6 online for our users to use and we wanted to make the request form as simple as possible. This desire has caused us to limit the number of top level categories and sub categories that we have created. When setting up the names of the categories under Admin mode, we put detailed descriptions in the Category setup section, but apparently the only place anyone can see those descriptions is when looking at the Category setup. Is there a way to add one of

SDP 7009 (Upgraded from 6014)
SDP 7009 (upgraded from 6014) Fedora 8 FireFox 2.0.0.11 on Vista The admin login can no longer approve purchase orders. So, I created a second login which has PO Approver access. The second login can now approve a PO. I logoff from the approver and back on with admin rights, now I can't receive the goods. The menu options are there for both approving and receiving, however when clicking on them, no changes to the PO occur. Yes the cache is deleted every time to check. I can't create a third login

Merging Requests
SDP ver 6 Build 6014 Hi We are using the merge requests to manage mulitple incidents that are part of the same problem (we have used ITIL terminology in our categories), so, if we have a major issue that may affect many users ie VPN or Server is down we log this a "Problem", we then log subsequent calls relating to the same issue as seperate "Incidents" & then merge them with the original "Problem" ticket. Once the overriding issue is resolved we just close the original "Problem" ticket. This seems
Bug Report: Non-unique Departments problem
I have configured multiple non-unique departments for different sites (i.e. Sales in US & Sales in UK). Whilst these appear fine in the Departments section only one of the Sales options is available for selection under Technician or Requestor Department.

Service Desk Notifiers external SMTP Mail
Our implementation of IT ServiceDesk uses an SMTP relay to send the mail notifiers. Mail is being queued on our servers as the external customers mail servers will not accept mail from an ITServicedesk notifier. If mail is sent directly from the ITServicedesk mailbox mail is accepted successfully, however when the java process is used to pick up mail and send notifiers to the customer mail cannot be delivered. The problem does not exist when mail is processed internally.

Ability to Trial Service Desk on Small Group of Domain Users
We haven't gone live from a customer perspective yet, we are only using it from behind the scenes for the technicians and have turned off all customer notifications. Is there a way, I wish to trial a group of 30 domain users from different divisions to gather feedback. I would like them to receive the notifications and surveys, but I do not wish to use it for ALL 350 users. Can this be done? I can't think of another way to trial it without showing them it's full capabilities.......

Assign to Group, but still showing as unassigned
When we create requests, and assign to a group, the request is still showing as un-assigned, which is quite frustrating, as I can see when we are fully LIVE, there will be hundreds of calls that will be like this. What is the answer, is there anyway to have it so when we assign to group, that the unassigned disappears, or do we have to choose technician as well, having to choose a technician is not an option, as we want the techs to grab requests from group, and we are not always aware what is happening
