Requests reports
Dear all, I would like some help with the reports, when i run the 'completed requests by category' for example, some requests show up in the 'others' category on the chart but in the detailed report below the chart all requests are detailed in the correct category and "others" does not appear in there. I have 18 categories for the request and do not have "others" in the categories list i have customised. I would like the chart to reflect the correct categories. Any idea? The other problem that i

Feature to help eliminate "spam" request(er)s
We're finding a lot of spam requests (and requester info being created) causing some problems in our system. We'd like to see if there can be a "holding bin" for incoming tickets with requesters that don't match what's already in our SD+ environment. It would require a table for holding "requester ID" that are uncleared for acceptance into our SD environment, but could be reviewed to allow the requests in (maybe a mail from an outside vendor that wouldn't be in our AD domain, but could be submitting
Feature request: User checks (AD vs. SD+)
We have a couple of requests for improvements, however, some of these will require some changes internally. One of the improvement requests I'll make here, and one I'll make in a separate email, as I think they're substantially different in nature, but have a AD vs. SD+ commonality. We'd like the ability to show an indicator for users who are no longer in active directory, but for whom an entry still shows up in SD+ so that we can remove the requester entry, and overall just clean up the requester
Where is the awaited localization support
I have an environment were support for multiple languages are very important. I have been waitning for this to be implemented in Servicedesk. It was scheduled for late 2005, but is not implemented although it is proclaimed in the description of features in Servicedesk. I have the need for Danish and Greenlandic language support, and will be able to help with the translation task. When can we expect this will be available?
Suggestions for improvements on PO process
I have a number of items to suggest for the PO process and ancillary functions to this process. I'm hoping I can describe it well. 1. The PO process is very cumbersome. The entire user interface "experience" is burdensome and clunky. It takes an entire screen to do a single line item. Suggestion: Since a vendor is selected, show ALL the items from that vendor, with a check box at the left side to select the desired items, and have a box on the right side that allows for you to pick quantity. When
Bug in forums: After you submit a message...
When you submit a message (and after), the link at the top and bottom that say "Forum Home -> ServiceDesk Plus", but point to forums.adventnet.com/viewforum.php?f=57 This makes it a bit frustrating to get back to the new interface when it keeps pointing you to the old forum interface. Justin
Bug in forums? Author listed not necessarily true?

Suggestions
For closing tickets - this reduces clicks and forces resolution notes to close a ticket: 1. Remove add resolution under tasks - This is an extra step that could be eliminated. 2. When selecting close request, resolution box opens and we can add a resolution. 3. Add save and close option in resolution screen. (The save option will still be needed in case a tech is not prepared to close ticket). This will again remove another extra step. For admin utilities: 1. All admin screens should be word wrapped.

What is the CMS system you're using for forums?

How come new posts by registered users have to be moderated?
So I'm posting a bug report on the forums and get a message saying: [ Post is awaiting approval ] Why are registered users having to wait for moderated approval? I can understand non-registered guests and spam posts by "drive-by" post-submission programs. But isn't that why you have "Captcha" images and registered logins? Justin
Followup/Replies not being tied to original topic
I put in a message last week titled, "Suggestions for improvements on PO process" (msg # 13677). It appears someone replied reza_200...

Bug in forums: Scope of new messages too wide?
In your new forums, I'm interested in the SD+ info ONLY. However, at the top of the page is a link titled: "View posts since last visit (XX)" with XX being a number of new messages since logging in. When I click on that link, I see messages pertaining to SD+, Zoho Virtual Office, OpManager, etc. I don't want that kind of scope, and the page I'm doing this from was said to be "http://forums.servicedeskplus.com" which is forwarded to: "http://forums.adventnet.com/sdp_home.php".

Cultural issue with status message
There's a message that pops up when you change a users password that says: Please intimate the change of password to ____________ <some user> In America, intimate is used as an adjective at most times to indicate someone you have a very close relationship with, ie, to indicate you've had sex with them. for example: "John says he has been intimate with Jane." In other areas, intimate is used as a verb to convey a message. for example: "One might intimate that John smells funny." While intimate is

Will SD allow import of old Requests
Hi I am working through updating SD as this is now a replacement for our existing Helpdesk solution/program. SD is far superior and quicker to use. I have a question relating to importing old/closed requests from a csv file into SD.

Asset entry vs. what's entered from Active Directory?
We pulled in a large list of workstations from Active Directory, but as we go through the asset portion, we see NONE of these workstations listed as assets. While there is a way to import a CSV list of assets, how do they compare to what assets we see already in inventory? The list of assets available seem to be those that are allowed as a product type. How do we make existing machines an ASSET? Justin

MySQL failed to start error
Support I have recently downloaded Service Desk Plus and bought the license for the 5 tech version. I have installed it, but cannot get it up and running. I have tried it both on port 8080 and port 8100. When I try to start it from the command line with the run.bat file, I receive the error "Trying to start MySQL server failed". I am running Windows 2003 server with Symantec Backup Exec 10. I have successfully installed both Event logger and Patch Quest. Any help from support would be appreciated.
Service Pack upgrade problems. HELP!!
Hi, I have been using SD+ ever since SD+4 and have upgraded to 5 then 5 sp2 then sp3. My current build# is 5003. For some reason i have not been able to upgrade to any other sp after sp3.

PO upgrades requested
We'd like a couple of PO updates requested. 1. Multiple shipping sites selectable (I think I requested this earlier, but in case I didn't...) 2. Ability to have different tax brackets based on location being shipped to. 3. Ability to not tax intangibles (like contracts, service agreements, etc) Currently, tax is applied to ALL items on a PO. Can we have a checkbox next to each item that indicates taxable/non-taxable. 4. Be able to enter a dollar amount instead of a tax percentage (when the vendor

Blue box error, does it have a secondary effect?
I reported the blue box error before, and it was acknowledged as an error. But one of my techs had a blue box error today, and she was unable to enter a resolution. It took her to a screen with a few links at the top, but no box to open up to enter in the resolution text, etc. I can go into that ticket, and I don't see a blue box, and I can get into the resolution screen. I noticed that there (She's on IE, I'm on Firefox) Is this a secondary issue of the blue box error? I noticed in the history tab
Contracts
When entering the support details for a contract it lets you enter more text than is saved. If there is a limit on what can be entered here it should really be enforced in the user interface instead of truncated upon submission. Also once a contract has been created and saved you cannot then go back into it and then attach a document which can also be a bit annoying. Also once you have attached a document to a contract you cannot then go back and edit it as you can e.g. in Solutions David

Is this old bug being addressed in this new release?
I reported a few months ago about how you can go to the home page as an admin, see all the techs with numbers correlating to their open tickets, etc. So when you click on the number associated with the open tickets for that tech, it puts you into the request screen, with a search bar included, but it has part of your name scattered into the status box. Was that going to be addressed in this release? Justin

Very high CPU usage v. 5.010 (probable cause found)
