Task attachments
Hello, Where on the server is SDP storing task attachments? Within the fileAttachments\Request folder? Are these attachments moved to fileAttachments\ArcRequest when the associated request and therefore the task is archived? What if the task is not associated to any request? Where are the task attachments stored in that scenario? Best regards, Demetrius

SDPlus - Contract import fails to parse xls date
I have tried to import contracts (to save time) and would have been quicker entering them manually! The xls is saved with date format yyyy-mm-dd, but I keep getting this parsing error: Date parsing error : Unparseable date: "19 Nov 2017, 00:00:00" I have tried (many times) to use the failedContractsList.xls - when I open it the date appears as 19 Nov 2017, 00:00:00.

Adding Approval Request message to the ticket thread?
Is there currently any way to have the system automatically capture a copy of the approval message that was sent to the approver? For example, a requester is requesting an item be purchased. The request goes into SDP, then a technician picks it up the ticket and send it off to a manager for approval. The approval request could look similar to the fake email below. To Michael, Subject: Approval required for a request I have a request for 1 license of Sublime Text Editor, could a new license be

Improving Performance of Page/Template Load Time
We just upgraded to 9236 from 9221 this past weekend Under 9221 I built a complicated request template that has a lot of resource fields and easily 60 or more field/form rules. In the past, it did take a few seconds for the page to load; however, the page didn't appear to be released to the user until it had finished loading. Since the upgrade, It now looks like the page is immediately presented to the user but continues to load; as a result, the user is being presented with HTML code in the description

Change or Modify ID Numbering used on Requests?
We recently migrated to the Ondemand Service Desk from an existing on Prem ServiceDeskPlus server, we have exported and imported existing tickets and resources into the cloud piece, but appears that our request system restarted at ##1## for tickets, and will at some point eventually collide with our imported request numbers, Is there any way to modify, or request to have numbering modify?
Technician Rights
Hi, We are setting up a new Support Group within the business (not IT) to take tickets that are logged for a business supported system. For these users to accept tickets we've had to make them technicians. The problem is , they get to see all the other support groups so this can be confusing. Is there any way to setup a support group and have users (Requester or Technicians) manage the tickets without seeing other groups ? Do they have to be Technicians, and if so how can we restrict what a technician

Resolution tab not closing request
Hello All, One of our technician has a strange issue when it comes to closing requests. When they choose closed in the resolution tab it takes the technician back to the actual request but with it still open. They then have to press the close button to actually close it. It isn't because they haven't selected the correct request requirements. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, Ryan Parker

Hi everyone, I've ran into the following issue: We have had a Dutch Translations of the text "New Incident" into "Nieuw Defekt". I've now changed it to "Nieuwe Ticket". As an administrator I can see the change on the page. As an technician I can see the change on the page.

Customisation for Ticket Appending via Email
Hi guys, is there anyway of customising the way SDP deals with the processing of the subject line to append to an existing ticket #. In version 8.2 you could simply type or forward an email and insert ##ticketnumber## and this would automatically process against the ticket with the # however it would appear that version 9.2 doesn't so this and only will append if you are replying directly to an email that SDP generates. (this is not good for if you want to assemble other information for the ticket
Linking responses to Change Notifications back to the Change record?
We have recently begun using the "Send Notification" feature in the Changes module. We find that when a user responds to this notification via email, it creates a new request/incident which is not what we are looking for. Is there anyway to link these responses directory to the Change and NOT create a new request/incident?

Good day, Our Antivirus (Kaspersky Endpoind Security 10) has heuristically identified a generic Trojan Downloader within the service desk code. If this is a false positive, please engage with them in order to have the code trusted. I have also engaged them directly to get more clarity on why this is the case.

Service Catalog drop-down menu not showing up
Can anyone help me understand why my Service Catalog drop-down menu isn't showing up? I have a service under a service category so there is service template I created. However I don't see it under the Request Catalog menu that only displays Incident templates. I also don't see a Service Request menu as referenced in the user guide. I inherited the implementation so I'm trying to backwards engineer how it was set up.

Question about Technician Auto Assign feature
Hey all, We've been using the Technician Auto Assign feature for almost a year with no issue. We use the load-balancing option to make sure the distribution of tickets is, well, balanced. Last week one of my technicians (Barry) was on vacation. I marked him as such in the Technician Availability Chart and assigned another person (Ben) as the Backup Technician. We received an important ticket that should have been assigned to Ben, but it got assigned to Barry and went unseen for 24 hours. In the
