Incident/Service Catalogue Groups
Howdie All I am new to service desk plus and encountered a rather frustrating issue. I have compiled a list of categories and built a service catalogue but need to assign these to groups. My company plans to use service desk plus as a MI tool with multiple departments similar to a IT company with multiple departments. I need to assign particular requests to different groups although I have set up Support groups and User groups I am still unable to do so. I believe the answer lies in a group template

View for a day
Good afternoon, We are trying to setup a new view in ServiceDesk Plus (version 8.1.0 Build 8125) which will only show requests that have been raised today. While we can setup a view that shows this, it needs to be updated each day as it is tied to a specific date rather than 'today' which doesn't update the date. Is it possible to have a view that updates the date to today automatically? I realise that this can be done as a report but we really would like to have view to fit in with some new

Linux server migration
Has anyone had any experience migrating their existing SDP data over to a new install using Linux servers? I've been able to install the software on the new server and can bring up the initial logon page and log in as administrator/administrator so I know the server is working in that regard. However, once I restore a good backup from my existing server I am no longer able to start the new server using run.sh it fails at the point of AdventNet ServiceDesk [FAILED] I then ran the setcommonenv.sh

Lots of suggestions
We would like to be added to early releases, and beta testing for Service Desk Plus. Here are a few things that we are suggesting as improvements based on our experience with this and other products. 1. When replying to an incident or request, provide the option to change the status in the same screen. This will eliminate another step. 2. In the iPhone app, have a way for it to distinguish from the main screen the difference between an incident assigned to the tech, and unassigned. It’s hard to tell
Postgres.exe using 100% CPU
Hi All, We've recently discovered that Postgres.exe has begun using 100% CPU. If we restart the ServiceDesk service, CPU usage drops down to a normal 20% average, then suddenly jumps to 100% at random and stays there. We don't have any custom scheduled tasks configured that may trigger this event. I've had a look at the serverout logs but I cant find anything that may be useful to us. What I am seeing a lot of in the serverout logs is this: [08:51:42:103]|[09-13-2013]|[com.adventnet.servicedesk.asset.util.AssetUtil]|[INFO]|[21]|:

Assets and Licenses
Hi - I'm wondering if anyone else might have dealt with this issue and successfully resolved it. I'm working in ServiceDesk Plus, ver 8.0.0, and I came across a purchase order (PO) that had been delivered. It was marked "Approved" and when I went in to change the status to "Items Received" so I could close it, the system gave me an error message that reads: "Failed to receive 1 Item(s) as the Max Number of IT Assets exceeds the license" When I looked at the Assets Tab and clicked on the link
No notifications to technicians that are assigned during a request edit.
Hi I am trying to find out why technicians do not get a notification about being assigned a request. It appears that if the "Assign" button is used, the notification works fine.

Preventing technicians from using onhold
Hello, since there s'no mechanism in SDP to force the technician to add a comment for his action like a request status change we've decided to prevent them use the onhold status. In Roles management i disabled the check box Modify Due By and Allow stop timer, the overdue requests OnHold became Open with no possibility to make them OnHold again(for this role), but they still can set OnHold on non-overdue requests. Is there a way to prevent this status to be used at all or for some roles?

Deleted Technician - Cannot Delete his Private Reports
I had a user that used to run an "unassigned workstation" report that he created and marked private. Now when the report runs a ticket is opened stating: Deliverable: Unassigned workstations - The e-mail account does not exist at the organization this message was sent to. Check the e-mail address, or contact the recipient directly to find out the correct address. Is there a way to access this private report and delete it? Thank you in advance. Sandra

Dept Head Approval
Hi, When we create a Service Request, we can set an approver. We have a variable $DEPT_HEAD$ set. When the Department Head raises an Service Request, an e-mail of the Approval is sent to him. Is possible to make the approval automatically when the Department Head rasies the Request? Regards
SLA Violations not working as expected
We have a number of unassigned requests in our queue at present, some of which are out of their response/SLA times. Whilst the system seems to reflect the fact they have gone over their response time (i.e. notifications are sent to technicians and the symbol is displayed on the main requests screen), the SLA violated requests do not reflect that. Does anyone have any thoughts? Many Thanks Darren
