Notification Rules, Replying to a Request Template - Can't delete Table
I'm having an issue with the Message template. Tables are impossible to edit when built in the template using the Insert Table button. I made a table in Microsoft Word and pasted it into the Template Text Box. This worked gracefully on all the templates but one. I need to edit the template, but it won't let me delete the table from the text box. I've tried all the obvious ways to do it. I can edit the text, but it seems like it's not recognizing me selecting the whole table. Any ideas on how

Default logged in user (Technican) as the Requester
Hi, Our technicians create most of our tickets. I'd like to default in their name to save them time. Through the Field and Form Rules, I can use the scripting to get the logged on use name ($CS.getLoggedInUserName())...but how do I populate Requester Name? Since the field is similar, is it the same method to populate the E-Mail Id(s) To Notify field? We commonly create distribution lists, so I would like to have some logic to default a value. Thanks. Kevin
Asset Scanning Report
Hi all, I was recently tasked with managing ServiceDesk and other ManageEngine products at my job. So my question is: Is there a report that I can run that would contain a list of all the assets that failed to scan for a specific site/domain? The specificity of the domain may not even be relevant as, currently, we have only scanned one domain. I have no issues running reports but none of the parameters seem to display the assets that failed to scan.
Asset Explorer Agent and Desktop Central Agent

Tickets being appended to / merged with other tickets
Hi there, We "HAD" SDP build 9024. We upgraded to 9049 because we had a problem viewing the automatic replies window. After doing the upgrade, a strange problem began occurring. Tickets would suddenly get merged with other tickets. I decided to do all the updates and now we are on 9204. To preface the problem, tickets are created when we receive an email at our customer support email address. Example: Ticket 12597 belonged to a requester named Nick and was created on March 11. Today

SDP: Make server ignore replies to request notifications from CC'd users?
I'm not sure if I phrased the title right or not, but this is a somewhat annoying thing that happens to us frequently and I'm not sure if ServiceDeskPlus has a way to deal with it or not. This is the scenario: Steve puts in a help desk request via email, CC'ing his coworkers Tim and Jeff: From: Steve To: HelpDesk CC: Tim, Jeff Dear IT, The copier just exploded! Thanks, Steve Tim and Jeff will both get an email notifying them that the request was created, and they will then either Reply All to that

Custom Status Not stopping timer?
I just noticed something odd since upgrading to the newest version. We have a custom status called Waiting for Response that is suppose to stop the timer when a request is changed to this status. Looking at a few requests, I noticed that the timer has not actually stopped and the time still keeps rising, eventually breaking the SLA rule. Is anyone else noticing this? Method to duplicate: Have a status that is set to stop timer. Change request to that status. Come back to request a while later.

Reports : Can I create a Weekly Worklog Report AHEAD OF TIME?
We have shifted over to ServiceDesk+ recently and I am trying to re-create a personal workflow that has greatly aided me. We are currently required to log all hours worked in a Worklog. Prior to ServiceDesk+ I had a Google Sheet (think Excel for those unfamiliar with Google Apps) that I used to track every minute of my time. I have to do this as I am not exempt, but instead I am still hourly. What I was able to do in that spreadsheet was to see both my "already accomplished" hours, and I could plan
