Hello, we have a requester who cannot see the Assigned To or Status of certain requests. Instead of the name of the technician or status, it just says "Not-Auth". The requester is an authorized requester and should have the permissions to see this information. Any idea what could be causing this? Let me know if you need more information. Thank you!

Servicedesk Production server Crashing.
We had just recently upgraded to 9324 after we had tested this version on a test server I have set up and everything was fine (though that server only has 5 technician licenses so I can test a full load) Recently (and before the upgrade as well) Servicedesk has been crashing. Originally I was seeing: No ManagedConnections available within configured blocking timeout ( 30000 [ms] ) So I added min and max pool size with the max being 350 yesterday. Today it crashed again but i am not seeing that error.
Scanning dual boot OS
Hi all, We're trying to scan machines with dual OS (MacOS with BootCamp), however, only one OS at a time is getting scanned by the system, Is there a way that both OS will be scanned? We've already tried changing the serial number on Asset records, however, when the system performs scan the hostname gets changed to Hostname_old format. Is there a workaround for this issue?
Tickets not closing due to undetected subcategory
Just upgraded from 9320 to 9323 so I'm not sure where the problem is, but I've got one. Typically, to close a ticket I go to the Resolution panel, enter my info, then set it to Closed when I Save. Now, it will save my Resolution text, but the ticket stays open with a message that says it cannot be closed without a Subcategory. Subcategory is a required field, so the ticket wouldn't be created without it. When I go back to the Request tab, the Status is still Open, even though there is a Subcategory

"In-Reply-To" and Zendesk
Hi there, We're having a bit of issues with a client that uses Zendesk, so I figured I'd try the forum to see if someone might have a suggestion/solution to the issue we're having. The problem is that answers to new issues between the two helpdesk systems get put under old issues/threads, first on their side and then on ours as the old issue thread on their side still contains the ##<issueID>## in the subjectline. The client contacted their support for Zendesk that pointed out that the incorrect

API FAILS to Add Change
Hi, The API docs are very hard to use because they don't reflect the way to tool actually works. The sample code provided for Add Change doesn't even work in your own documentation! See attached pic.

In the documentation "group" and "groupname" aren't even listed as available parameters. FailedGroup is a mandatory field. Please provide

Business Rule not changing Status or request- Screen shot now attached
I have created a very basic Business Rule. My process entails selecting a Group in the Request, which notifies users in the Group via email of a request. The user will then reply with a trigger in the email body. In this case, "Client Contacted". The business rule is setup to search the request description, which is the area the email reply populates, and if the description contains "Client Contacted" it should change the status to "Client Replied" . This is not working. I am attaching a screen

Incident/Request Additional Fields - Multi Select
When I create Multi Select Fields in the Incident - Additional Fields, I can't figure out the sort order. It's not in the order I added the items, it's not in alphabetical order and it isn't in the order of when they were added either. Is there a way to force a sort order? I don't want to put numbers in front of it. It's going to be confusing to users in the order it's in now. Any ideas?
