Category permissions
Feature Request: We'd like to be able to assign further technician permissions to specific Categories - Sub-Categories. For example -- Currently the HR department members are configured for generic Technician accounts and are a part of the HR Support Group. As well they are categorizing requests under a HR Category etc.. This group contain the full scope of personal within HR -- admin assistants, HR Reps, Managers, Director, etc... --- who are all privy to certain employee data (This is also true
Available list of technicians to select for various change roles
We are trying to understand why only some of our technicians are able to be selected for a given change role on some changes. Example we want to select a technician as a Change Implementer, but when the list of technicians comes up only some of the technicians are listed. What is determining which list of technicians are available to be selected for roles like Implementer?
decommissioning of support GROUP - can't hide on drop down lists
There is no feature to decommission the support Group meaning that once it was created it remain visible all the time. We understand that the group cannot be deleted when there was any ticket closed in this group, but there should be an option to deactivate \ hide no longer required Group. The deactivated group should not appear on the drop down lists e.g. when creating new ticket.
Outlook conversation functionality doesn't work with tickets
Hi all, All our tickets from service desk have one subject per ticket (##$RequestId## $Title). We made this to have ability to see it grouped in conversations in Outlook. But. Microsoft has changed "Conversation" functionality in Outlook. Now emails are grouping to conversations only using Conversation ID (wich is not filled by ServiceDesk Plus), but not using subject field (as it was in earlier office releases). Does anyone have a solution to this issue? Is there a way to make all same-subject emails
Send a notification email to a user different than the requester
Hello! Hope you are all doing well. When creating a certain service request, I need an email notification to be sent to a specific email whereby this email's receiver is different than the original requester: A person X adds a service request. He gets an email notification that his request has been registered. Another email notification of this request is automatically sent to another person Y (X's superior for example). Is this scenario achievable? If yes, kindly guide as to how I can do it. Thank
Custom Actions
Hi All, I want to create some custom triggers for ServiceDesk, but I have no idea where to start. I know were to set them up, and I understand that part. However I do not know what format the script should be. I am no java dev so I am not sure if I should create a .vbs script which I then call from the .bat file or write the action in the .bat file. I am also not sure what "language" I should use. Do I use the standard API to perform the desired actions or is there another format for the

Reply box formatting problems
In a request when I click Reply, I have my signature formatted for the bottom of the reply. We also use a template. When using the backspace key to remove extra spaces (I do not know why these are here in the first place) it actually ADDS lines to the text box! I have to mess around with different selections and combinations of Backspace and Delete before I can get the reply properly formatted. Also I have selected Verdana as my font for my signature but in Outlook it is still coming through as Times

Auto set "requester details" field with technician information
We have a large number of technicians who enter in requests which they themselves are tasked with completing. Then we also have technicians who need to specify that a request is being created on behalf of a user. For us it would be beneficial if instead of providing a blank "Requester Details" area as seen below: We would prefer to have the "Requester Details" area automatically populated with the "Technician Details" of the technician who was creating or inputting the request or incident into the

Migration to new server - restoredata
I am trying to migrate to a new server and understand this should be possible by using restoredata However the backup now comes in 2 parts and I do not know which file, part1 or part2 to use, or do I need to do both?

Project Templates
I'd like to be able to define project templates when you define a project type. In this template you would define the standard tasks and milestones that would be associated with that project type. That way, when you create a new project, those tasks and milestones would be automatically created under the project. That way, project managers would not have to create all those tasks and milestones manually. They can create new tasks or milestones that are unique to the project and, since the standard

Hi guys, What about these two known issues? Do you have the planning of the next package? Thanks.
Is it possible to change template used in a service request??
It doesn't seem possible in the application to edit a Service Request created by a template and apply a different template. (wrong template applied in the first place). Is there a DB query that can accomplish this? I want to get rid of some obsolete templates but I can't since they are being used. (marked for no further usage now). If I could get the request id's that are using the obsolete templates, (which I have a query for already), then I would like to apply the newer template to the request.
Adminsitration Report - for Categories, Subcategories and items
Hi, There doesn't seem to be a lot of pre-built reports for the lookups used in SDP. I am after a report that details the Categories, Subcategories and items we have created, this is not to be linked with any requests or technicians as we are doing some housekeeping on the lookups and trying to see if we have inadvertently created some duplicate items in different Categories or Subcategories. I cannot find any information on the table used within SDP so am having difficulty in writing any SQL statement

How would I put a label or description in either resources or service catalog?
I'd like to create a training sign-off as part of a account-upgrade request. However, to do that, I need to put in language that says "I agree that I've signed off on x, y, x." It's a long bit of text, where/how can I place this text (probably a page) on the form? -Adam
Update request button not working
If I click the edit button at the top of a request, and then edit the request, when I click on the "Update Request" button, it depresses, but nothing happens. No sign that anything is being saved, but no error request either. If I use the Request Details Edit button further down the page in the main request view. Editing works fine. But it's more intuitive to be able to use the other button successfully. Any ideas what might cause this? Edit: We are also having a problem when technicians try to create

Failover feature
Hello, In SDP documentation I've found that SeviceDesk Plus supports FO configuration, but it's unclear why we can use Microsoft Failover Cluster. Is there any cons/pros, what is the best approach? The idea is to put MS SQL and SDP App on two node cluster - 4 VMs in total
Service Catalog templates disappear from Admin view
I've created or modified several templates for the Service Catalog and I'm no longer able to see them (they are completely gone, not just grayed out) to modify them. I am not associated to any support groups, so it's not anything to do with permissions...but I'm also an administrator, so I should have access to ALL the templates. This is posting a very big issue as I need to make some adjustments to approval chains and can't view them. I've reported the issue and am told this is a known issue.

Software as Asset selection in Ticket
Hello Guys, One issue: Currently i cannot (or maybe i'm missing something) select software as an asset when i create a new ticket. If i type in a user's name it correctly shows the associated hardware, but not the software. I've checked whether or not the user in this case had software assigned to him, and he had (Microsoft Office and more). Is this by design or as is? A scenario would be that i can select Microsoft Office as an asset in a ticket whenever a user is using Microsoft Office. Another

able to change mandatory fields to none
When in the requester details view, our technicians are able to change mandatory fields to none and save the ticket. But when you edit the ticket, you can not save manadatory fields as none. Is there a seperate setting to make the fields mandatory in the requester view ? Thanks
