[DidYouKnow -5] Deleted requests can be restored
Hello folks, I'm back with a tip that would be a salvage to the users who are not aware of request trash feature. Imagine you had deleted a request but later realized that you needed to work on it. Do not worry, requests are not deleted irreversibly. They get to trash first and you can delete requests completely or recover them there. How does it work: From request list view, click on the custom views drop down to find the trash where all the deleted requests can be found. Deleted requests can simply

Update Departments
Before setting departments for my requesters, they added requests. I then changed all the users in bulk (selected all Requesters and used "Assign to Department" under the Actions menu) to add them to departments. Their requests did not update. Is there a way to change these requests without editing each one, changing the requester once and then changing it back?

Hi all, I'm currently trying to get requests from SDP using the API so I can import them into another system. To do this I want to search for the latest requests.

Can you please help me in finding out what I'm doing wrong? The current code that does work (python), but without searching for the last 5 minutes: import requests inputdata
[SOLVED] Email Commands - Additional Fields
Quick bit of context: Trying to save some time modifying the ticket after a specific SQL job is completed. Got so far in that after the job is run, it'll send an email and the form will fill out the Category, Impact etc. However when trying to modifying some additional fields, nothing. Snippet; @@GROUP=Application Support@@ @@CLIENTS=Hood Group@@ @@TICKET OWNER=App Support@@ So in this case, the group changes fine but Clients and Ticket Owner remain at the default option. Both are common fields,

How to include all request properties when making "all requests" v3 API call
{ "list_info": { "row_count": 20, "start_index": 1, "sort_field": "technician", "sort_order": "asc", "get_total_count": true, "search_fields": {}, "filter_by": { "name": "1501_MyView" } } } Ok, the above INPUT_DATA pulls all the open tickets for a custom view. But how do I include all properties of a ticket. Our documentation claims that a "fields_required": "[get_all]" should be returning all properties of a request.

Autoclosing tickets based on specific senders/adresses (servicedesk)

My skills in Python are not quite up to this task, so I was hoping someone might have done this already? Thanks for any and all help :-) Br/Ludvig
Feature Request: Worklog to Closure
We really like the new Request Closure wizard and would like to see this small change to the Workflog window. If the worklog is mandated and missed upon closure, the tech is guided to the Worklog tab. Once the worklog is added they then must Save and go back to the Status field to select Close. We'd like to see a new button added to say 'Save and Close' which will then start the closure process:

Hello folks, This time I'm here with yet another tip that will enable you to utilize ServiceDesk Plus optimally. The same incidents\questions, reappearing time and time again. Sound familiar?

One of the easiest ways is to choose a system that empowers your users. Ask yourself, does the system have: -- A self-service

License allocation in ServiceDesk Plus
Hi guys, I'm trying to use SD+ to manage our Microsoft licensing but having some challenges. If I create a license for Windows 10 Enterprise, it does not allow me to allocate this license to a machine reporting Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB. This is a problem as there are multiple LTSB/LTSC versions of Windows 10 Enterprise that all use/require the same license. If I have to create multiple versions of the license for each edition i'll end up with duplicate amounts which messes up the reporting

Auto resolution supplied by System?
Recently we began seeing work orders with an empty Resolutions added by System account immediately after the CREATE function by the Requester. We have no change logs that indicate any configuration changes were made. Has anyone seen this behavior, or able to assist in troubleshooting the cause? The state of the work order remains open, and autoclose is not configured. Thanks in advance!
Requests - Resolved but re-opening upon contact
Hi, I have the below setting set to stop cases being reopened on a respons through email or the portal, but it still seems to be happening. I think this may be that the case is classed as resolved not closed. Can somebody answer whether or not the below definition of "closed" is that it will only do it on the closed request? If so - Is there an option to do the same on resolved at all? We tend to put all our cases as resolved so it auto pops the resolution field to ensure we have everything ticked
Due-by Date: How to manage the due-by dates that have customer dependencies
Hi folks, We have due-by dates assigned automatically using SLAs, but the question comes into play when we have requests that require development. Scenario #1: We have a SR with multiple tasks to make some changes in a development system, validate with the user, and then promote the changes to a production environment. Because the due-by date is set as a rule but the dependency is outside the scope of our management (i.e., the customer must validate the changes, and we have to wait on the customer),
