ESM Licenses
I'm a free standard user of ServiceDesk Plus. Tool I love and recommend to everyone related to ITSM. I just created a new instance in a ServiceDesk Plus v11 and I tried to apply a free standard license. How this works? I can't have 2 free standard licenses in the same ServiceDesk Plus installation? I could install 2 SDP in the same server, I just wonder how it works. Do I need a ESM license? is it for free too? I'm freelancer so I don't have more technicians and probably i will never have them.

Request collaboration
Hi, We're having a problem with request collabortation. The collaboration notification shows technicians that haven't been looking at the specific request for days. I even created a new test technician account, opened up a request, navigated to another request and then logged out. When viewing the request with my own account it still shows that the test account is viewing the request. SDP 10514, MSSQL

Purchase History by Product
I am often asked when the last time we purchased something and what was the cost. There is not a good way to get this information out of SD+. Having the ability to search purchase history by product or service would make this so much easier. Right now, I have to search all POs for the vendor and open every PO until I find the item in question. In many cases, we have multiple vendors for This takes a lot of time. Running a report, then having to sort & filter also takes a lot of time that I

ServiceDesk Plus Public Access (using Reverse Proxy)
We often get asked how best to access ServiceDesk Plus 'publicly' from the Internet without the use of dedicated connections or VPN services. There are no specific features in ServiceDesk Plus to do this other than in the 'Self-Service Portal Settings' where you would configure a URL Alias of a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) that would be published internally and externally on the Internet: This URL Alias is used in all the notification messages sent by ServiceDesk Plus. Now we could simply

Make a service request only available to selected technicians
Hi, Would like to know whether a service request within the same site can be made available only to a few technicians to view. For example, currently we have a service request created in the service catalogue for security incidents and we would not like to have all technicians within the same site to be able to view it due to confidentiality.

[SDF-81675,SDF-81965] Execute Script from FAFR
There is a major limitation between Service Catalog and Custom Triggers. When building forms I want all Fields that relate to that form to fall under that forms Service Category only. From an Admin perspective it keeps things clean. But on most forms I need to include a Custom Trigger at some point. That Trigger will create an email and in that email will need to be information from a submitted request. The issue is that Additional Fields created under a Service Category can NOT be used for Custom

API Notes Help
I have an app that injects tickets into our on-prem system, this works flawlessly. I tried doing the same with a ticket note, example appears solid, it works from the little tester on the webpage. However when I do it from my app, or AdvancedREST that I use for testing, it fails stating the Technician key is invalid, but it is the same key that worked 30 seconds before to open the ticket through the API. Am I missing something?

Good Day We want to make use of the survey function of Servicedesk Plus. However we have multiple incident templates and the survey only gets sent if you close a ticket with the default template.

Ability to Assign Technician in another group from Dropdown.
We currently have an On-Prem instance with multiple groups. All of the tickets default to the Tier 1 group. Many times, the Tier 2 team forwards in tickets for themselves. It would be beneficial if you could assign multiple tickets from the Requests' Assign dropdown no matter what group the technician is in. SDP should be smart enough to automatically change the group based on what technician you select. When I select the technician I'd like to assign to, *the technician themselves* it gives me an

[SDF - 85361] Custom Trigger to add Announcment
I'm trying to find a way to list all Onboarding/Offboarding request in a place Users who submit those forms can see them. These users are from different Departments and they don't need to be able to see other request from their Department or other Departments. Without giving them that access, the only way I can think of is to list the subject of each Onboarding/Offboarding request on Announcements. That way they can go out there and see if one has been submitted already for a user in their department.
