Add new tasks on closed requests?
Hello, Why a technician can add a new task on a closed request? Is posible to prohibit this behaviour? Thank you.
System outgoing email does not have attachment
Hi, I am using 9226 version of servicedesk plus. I realized that when "System" notifying "technician" or "requester", there is no attachment included in the notification. For example, (in the following, Jin Hwee is requester ; Steven is technician) 1) A requester reply to a ticket with attachment, technician assigned will receive email "Request Id ##1## is appended with requester reply." but without the attachment in the notification. 2) technician replied the ticket with attachment via outlook
Response SLA for Service Requests
We are well into a discussion of SLA response times and getting buy in from the client and their users, and I have recently realized that although SLAs for Incidents can have response SLA as well as resolve SLA's, for some very strange reason I don't understand at all, Service Requests do not have response SLA's, only Resolve SLA's. It strikes me as completely unreasonable that we would want to track response times on incidents but not on service requests, so this difference between the function
Limiting requester to someone in SDP
When one of our users is using the self-service portal, they are able to enter any name into the requester field. Is it possible to limit that name to someone already in SDP? This issue is that they may be using the incorrect convention (we use lastname, firstname), and people may enter firstname lastname and it then creates a second SDP account. Thank you, ADam

to provide a brief description this is what we are doing: We create a request template what needs to be approved in order to be worked, but after the approval the same person who approve it has to assign the Technician, this step is doing manually by the approver due to business needs. the Tech is successfully assigned to the request; however the triggered child task associated to the request are not being assigned to the tech what we want is to get those child tasks auto assigned to same the technician

New Limits on Reports
Greetings, I noticed in the newer versions reports have been limited to prevent overloading the system. However, occasionally it is necessary for us to run very large reports. Is it possible to temporarily remove the limits or bypass them in some manner? For example, in an Audit we are required to provide details on every ticket for the past year. In our system this would require us to run many more reports to gather this data as this is about 50,000 tickets. Note : Application might face stability

Issue with Custom Report (filter by Ref. Ticket Number)
Hello, I ran into an issue while creating a Custom Report for tickets that: 1) Were created this year (works fine) 2) Ref. Ticket Number field is not empty I selected the Advance Filter - Ref.Ticket Number 'is not' None The report runs correctly for the first two to three pages but I see a lot of 'Not Assigned' (basically blank field) starting page four. I also did an export to CSV to filter 'Not Assigned' tickets and got the result: Out of 1387 tickets that showed on the report, 1150 odd were 'Not
Switch Scanning Issue
Whenever my network admin scans a Cisco 3850 Switch or a Nexus 9372PX it changes it from a switch to a router and deletes all of his manual entries. Is there a reason why this is happening?

Business Rules
Quick Question - Can business rules or another method be used to automatically close tickets on a set date when they are created through Preventive Maintenance ? We have days when the tickets we raise each day simply can't be resolved as staff are not in (Xmas) and we're looking into how we can get the system to close these automatically...Any ideas ? Andrew

Support Group Issues
Hi, Having a range of issues with support groups. I'm aware that there is already a feature request to disable support groups. These are in addition: Tried to rename a support group and got an error message. The system has now generated a 2nd support group with the new name and left the existing support group in the system (which can't be deleted - thereby confusing all my groups) Tried to create a new support group, got the below error message. Created the group with one user successfully but
Redundant server

ServiceDesk Plus self integration
Hello! Does anyone have an experience in connecting of two (several) ServiceDesks? There are 1 headquarter (SD for the headquarter is installed) and two divisions (SD for each division is installed). All these SDs are independent. But, at the same time, there is one technical group at the headquarter which sometimes recieves requests from the divisions. The question itself: is possible to create a kind of "reduplication" of the information about recieving new requests in the divisions to the headquarter?
Is it possible to add 2nd PO approver level by default?

Technician to Requester Toggle
I'd like to submit an idea for a feature request. Create a toggle button for a technician to change their view so that the screen appears as a requester. The same toggle would take them back to requester. This would be helpful in writing documentation for training as well as helping some less computer literate users walk through submitting requests, etc. As technicians we never see the end user portal, and this would help us help our customers in my opinion.

Technician | Adding SDAdmin Role
Hello All, I have a technician who I would like to add the SDAdmin role to, however when I go to the technician, and click on "Enable login for this technician" I am able to choose Enable Custom Privileges and choose SDAdmin, however the page is also showing Login Name / Password / Retype Password / Domain. I do not have this users login information and don't really want to ask him for it. How do I get around this? What am I missing? Jeff Day
Task condition in workflows
Is there a way to include an IF condition in a task workflow? This can help drive the creation of tasks when implementing service requests. Is there a workaround for this that someone can suggest?
SDP do not handle Calendar meetings as request
Hi, We have people that send requests as Outlook meetings instead of mail. So what happens is that SDP dot not know how to parse the meeting, and the body of the request is the raw data of the meeting.(Picture below) SDP should be able to parse the meeting so that it's more readable, it could create a scheduled task from the meeting data. This is an issue and not a feature request and i am not expecting this to be resolved soon, i am simply pointing out an issue here. Thank you guys
Convert Service Requests to Incidents?
Hello, I like the new feature where we can convert incidents to a service request template. It would be great if we could convert a service request onto an incident template. I know we can manually edit the request type, but we have an issue where unless the request is on an incident template, we cannot associate the request to a problem record. Many thanks, Frank

fileAttachments folder - Access file attachments over network
We are doing a server migration and the bulk of what needs to be moved is over 300GB in file attachments. My thought was to create a symbolic link to the fileAttachments folder on the old server so that the application could still read those files while we are copying them over to the new server (which could take several days). I tried this, however I cannot start SDP once the link (labeled the same - "fileAttachments") is created. The services crashes right after starting. When I take way the link

Script query
Hi, I am using a Script to prevent categories from being used by anyone....I added the following Script to apply to anyone who uses the default incident template. Field & Form Rules > On form Load > Applies to All users > On Create & Edit > On form Load > Execute Script $CS.removeOptions("CATEGORY",["Regular Tasks & Checks"]); $CS.removeOptions("CATEGORY",["Service Catalog"]); This prevents a couple of categories from being selected when a request is created. For some reason our Technicians can't
First response timers
Folks, We're starting to depend heavily on our first-response timers to ensure quality of service. From my understanding, the timer is stopped using three methods: 1) When a reply to the requester is made via the reply button on the ticket. 2) When a worklog entry is made and the (consider this first response button is checked). 3) When the time is stopped manually (privileged). My question has is around the second option, the work log: a) Let's say my tech is calling someone to work on this issue
