Associate request conversations with Solution.
When creating a solution from a request ticket, we would like the ability to associate the converations within the request so we can define the context of the solution. What we are currently doing is copying and pasting the information into the resolution or just referring to the request id. I did notice there is an enhancement request for a solutions template that would help as well. Is there a timetable on that enhancement SDF-26350?
How to install a private SSL certificate
Hi there everyone! Over the past year or so, I've seen a lot of discussion dealing with getting third-party SSL certificates to work in ServiceDesk. Within that discussion, many of you have had a terrible time getting it to work properly, and some I don't think ever got it to work at all. I myself didn't have the need to mess with it, so I've never investigated the problem. However, that has now changed. I believe part of the problem is that you are expected to either use the certificate generated

Company Bulletin Announcing new SDP

Assets usability additions/changes
Hi there, I'm working quite intensive with the Assets and the Purchasing module. There are however some cavaets that make this not always as easy as it could be: Bulk changing fields of IT-assets/Non-IT assets/Asset Components - We cannot bulk change a lot of fields: Site, Purchase (acquisition) Date, Expiry date, warranty expiry date, Location, Product, Asset is currently in..., Vendor Name, etc... Most of the time a lot of fields get automatically filled in through the purchasing module, but every

Local authentication not working after enabling AD authentication
Hi, We have been successfully using SD Plus for several months with local authentication, and now we have everything ready to switch to AD authentication. The requesters are populated from AD, however we want technicians to use local authentication. The problem is - when we enable AD authentication the requesters can successfully login, but when technicians try to login with their local accounts - they cannot do it. I have checked the setting "Allow local authentication" in ServiceDesk Plus General

Unable to connect to web client
Hi, I am in a tangle with Service desk Plus. I have previously uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but now using MS SQL. When I have run the run.bat it said that port 8080 was occupied (maybe from the previous install) It asked if I wanted to change it, and I put port 8081. I still cannot access the web client. I do not know what else to do Thanks in advanced
Technicians from one site can see cases from all sites
Hi, We've just added a second site to our ServiceDesk Plus and assigned a new technician just to see cases from that site.

Can you please advise if this is a bug or we are missing something? thanks in advance, Sergio
Created by field
Hi I was thinking about my reporting, and tickets for Created by technician..at present I have a report that goes on created date for last week, and filter is on Technician. However, this is only for jobs where the technican keeps the job - if they assign the request to someone else, that metric never gets captured. How do i report on the technician that created the job - can we have a field called Created By, which will auto insert the technician's name who creates the request?

Custom Notification
Scenario: I have a new employee template. We use the same template regardless of domestic or foreign site. Upon submission by Plant Manager or technician from a remote site, I would like a notification (email, alert, etc) sent to a group in HR. I also, based on feedback (employee #) from HR, would like to send a notification (email, alert, etc) to Finance so the new employee can be added to the cost center groups.

Emails not being sent, and other strange email issues
My question is if the update to Build 9105 could have somehow changed some settings on how emails work? I applied Build 9105 last Friday at the end of the day. Everything seemed to be working fine after I brought the system back up, and closed out my last ticket. This morning, I should have received an email notifying me of a ticket I have set to be automatically created each Monday. I didn't get that email, but didn't think much about it. Then when I attempted to reply to a ticket (clicking

Add Approvals and Tasks to Printing
Can you add the option to print approvals and tasks on requests and changes, please? The worklog does not record the approvers response, just that he or she responded. On tasks, the worklog records that the tasks are added, but not when they're completed. Right now, I have to add a separate screen shots of the to get the complete information. This is true for both my current and pending version. Version 9.0 Build 9046 in production Version 9.1 Build 9103 in test

Additional Hard Drive Info?
I have a requirement to add a tracking ID and physical location (single-line text field) to each of our hard drives. The tracking ID is generated by another system and must (somehow) be associated with a specific hard drive. We are currently running weekly Domain scans which return basic information on the workstations, including (some) hard drive info. Is there a way to add this information to each hard drive in SDP? It's important that the tracking ID and physical location be associated with
Asset Scan Exclusion
Is there a way to exclude assets with a certain status from scheduled scan? For example, I have a number of assets in inventory that have a status of "In Store" because they are still in a box and therefor will not be accessible for scanning yet they showup on the failed to scan list. Any ideas?
Adding more logic to incoming email processing
Would it be possible to add the following logic to SDP when it receives incoming email? When fetching email for an open ticket, if the email is from a technician watching the group the ticket is in and technician is not the requestor, process the email as a technician's reply to the ticket and notify the requestor. Else process the email as designed (as a requestor's reply). The majority of our technicians are not at their computers most of the day so having the ability to reply to a ticket via
Subject with two words and "and" operator in Business Rule
I'm new to ServiceDesk - so answer may be simple - sorry if it is. I'm defining rule in Business Rules based on two words in the email subject. Both of tchem needs to be met together, so operator 'and' seems to be right choice. Business Rule instead of 'and' puts 'or' operator - even if I add words separately. For example - I need to distinguish high and low importance incidents. I thought that simplest way is to send an email with "category" and "importance" in the subject of email - Subject: "problem
Licensing Question
I recently got one of those free licenses from https://www.manageengine.com/products/service-desk/free-it-help-desk-software.html#getfree for 100 techs and It says expires next year my question is will I need a new file next year or will it still work and never expire like the free versions available in the installer?
Approval email notifications
Can someone tell me if there is a way that when someone is requesting hardware or something that costs money, that the email to the approver would have more information? I.e. Item and cost? Or is there a way to use the purchase module so that the approval goes to the manager with all that information? If you look at the approval emails, they are rather limited. Then when you click the link, there is not much information there for the person approving to know. For example, is the phone request

Get Request List by Requester from API
I accidentally posted this topic in the SDP-MSP forum, but I think I meant to post it here. Here is what I'm trying to accomplish: When there is a problem with our software, users will send an e-mail to an e-mail address that we have set up. That e-mail creates a new request/ticket in ServiceDesk Plus. When the user/requester logs in to our third-party student/faculty portal, they will have a section titled "Open Tickets". This is where I want to display only the ServiceDesk tickets associated with
