When I was on the SD I noticed that the licence of the ServiceDesk was on trial mode, so I put the OpManager licence

iOS App addition
Hi I would like to request all functionality of service desk plus be added to the iOS app. We desperately need the ability to modify workstations. Our IT Techs travel from desk to desk and they cannot make asset changes while at the users desk using their mobile device - they have to come back to their desk and then make the necessary changes ie assignments, etc... It would be so much helpful when doing physical inventory and make changes on the fly rather on a dedicated app (with a barcode scanner)

AD Imports
when importing from AD you have a field called reporting to which you state maps to the manager defined in AD. This field imports correctly and can be viewed in the admin/requester menu-screen. However this field does not populate when looking at the requestor details from within a ticket. Is there a reason for this and how can I create this?
Actions available for Service Request
Hi team, We started using Service Requests recently and so far have found 2 functionalities not available for Service Requests, while they are available for Incidents. Could you please advice if this function is available, probably we are not seeing it. We're running SDP 9.0 Build 9044. 1) If you have a service request and need to convert it to Incident, the action is not available. How can we do this? If it's not available, can we have it as an enhancement/fix? The scenario is that customers or
Description field double spaced
Hi Team, Since upgrading from 9004 to 9046 when we receive requests by email (we only use email to submit tickets) a number of them have the line breaks double spaced. I'm assuming it's probably HTML emails. Unfortunately this not only looks bad but it also pushes all of the rest of the ticket content down the page. Could you please look at this to see if there is a way of correcting this? When we were running build 9004 this was not an issue. Thanks! Example:
Assets not showing nor technicians / requesters.
Good Morning, I seem to have an issue which seems to have affected other areas. I have made some changes in the Configuration item types where i have added some new CI types. Made a mistake with adding the default attributes as it applied to all sections so i removed them. Upon removing them i now cannot see any of my assets/ technicians/ requesters. If i look at a recent item i added into the asset list i get the following error. I have checked with the other admin users to see if they are having

Import of Contracts - Date Format Failing
Hi Even though I'm using the correct template and date layout of (dd/mm/yyyy), when importing the template it still fails. The "failed contracts" xls shows the dates as dd/mm/yy which is not what I'm entering in the original file. Is this a general issue or am I doing something wrong? Thanks
Creating an approver
Hey guys, while doing some request templates I wondered if I could create a approver just by myself, without having this one as a department head nor a technican ? Is that possible or do I have to put those people as technicans as well ? Mainly this issue comes up to my mind when it's about having requests for share access stuff. So if I from the IT Department creat a request, my department head is automaticly the aprover, that's what I set. If a user requests something, his/her department head

CMDB Cleanup
We have 3 active ServicedDesk environments on site and one of them has a CMDB that has run away on us. We get a lot of errors from it and there are a lot of entries that need to be removed. One technician made a lot of errors in entering CI’s and deleting/changing CMDB catagories and we were hoping that there may be a script to run that can set the CMDB back to its default appearance, removing any entries and deletions made to the CMDB? Anyone know how to do a "one stop" cleanup on the CMDB?
