Multiple departments using SD+ on single database.
I have other departments in my company who wish to use the SD, but because they want several different fields on the form, it is becoming messy to manage. I have managed to develop something that works for IT and 1 other department, however now others want in and this is going to really mess things up. Is there any way SD+ can cater for more than one department using different portals, forms, etc.... but use the same engine and database? Thanks.
Contracts Module - Expiry Notifications
I use SD+ to store details of all my maintenance contracts and hardware warranties and find the email notifications that contracts are about to expire to be very useful. What I don't like is that it is only possible to raise expiry notifications by email to SD+ Technicians. Given that some contracts have a life of 3 years, it is very possible that the technician nominated to receive the notification will have left the company by then. I have tried to set up a generic technician without SD+ login
SD+ Scheduled Backup - UNC Path

How can I automatically ask for the approval of a request?
Hi, Is there a way to configure SD to automatically ask for the approval of a request based on the catagory? Or the technician has to request it manually? BR, JDR
Improved Backup
Currently, SDP only supports full data backup on the data and configurations on a single backup file. We would like to request that configurations have a separate backup with data backup. This way we can revert back to previous configurations by restoring through the backup without experiencing the hassle of also restoring your set of tickets of a previous date and losing everything from date of backup to present. Example scenario is when you are tuning the configurations within SDP. You would
Mail Fetch won't start after server outage
Have noticed after a recent outage that servicedesk isn't fetching the mail. All looks ok, but when I stop fetching and 're-type' in the username and password I receive the message - FAILURE :Email Settings saved successfully. But error occured while trying to check connection with mail server - Authentication Failed using the given username and password. The username and pw are correct. I've even reset the pw to make sure. After the above message I can still click on Fetch Mail and all looks fine

Automatic new user creation from the incoming emails
Dear, Could you please give us an instruction how to turn off the automatic user creation based on receiving of email? Ideally SD has to send an automatic response to user that such user email address is not registered in SD and appropriate incident was not created. i.e this message should be configured through template. Best Regards, Vladyslav

Newly emailed requests coming in as "Unassigned"
Just upgraded to the latest version of ServiceDesk plus. For some reason now, all emailed requests come in as unassigned, and aren't put in the General Category. As a result I don't get an email alert, nor are they added to my queue. Where can I change this setting? - Eric
when you click on a change sometimes a different change is brought up
Sometimes but not all the time, whenyou click on a Change in the Change Tab, that is not the Change that gets opened. Sometimes if you reorder the changes and try again the right one gets opened but not all the time. Sometimes you have to exit ServiceDesk all together before it fixes itself.
java.exe using 90-98% of CPU
Hi there, Since the latest build of SDP I have been experiencing issues with performance and mail fetching on SDP. I migrated everything to a new server with entirely fresh install but it has returned. I updated java and still no luck. Now my system has stopped fetching mail.

Dear all, I come from Bao Minh insurance corporation (Vietnam country). We are very close to make the decision about Service Desk Plus license but we have two important questions like that: How can we synchronize the new requester created from LDAP if we have already imported requester from LDAP because if we import again, all of modified setting will be overwritten? Can we have more options to choose when we import requester from LDAP? For example: can choose which fields to import like department,
Let Requestors view any request
I have recently discovered that if a requester creates a request, I can forward that to another requester and it can be viewed but, If a technician creates one and forwards that to a requester, the requester gets a message saying that it is out of their scope and can't view it. Any suggestions?

For some time now, I've occasionally received script errors in IE 8 when entering Worklogs, or viewing the Implementation tab of a change. It doesn't happen to all Worklog entries but enough to make it significant.

Repeated date in Date/Time popup.
I noticed that when I edit a report I made, the date popup shows the first two days of the month as 1. Anything that refreshes the popup(such as clicking the Today option or changing the month) fixes it. Minor annoyance, really, but I thought it's worth reporting.

Solutions - Attachments not found
I recently migrated SD+ over to a new server. Ever since I've done that, I am no longer to view attachments within Solutions. When I click on the Solutions, it says "File was not found". I added a screen shot of the error. I am able to go in to the solution and delete the old one and re-add the document but is there any other fixes to point the Solutions to where the files are. I also have no moved any of the files. Ideas?
Set default asset for a Request template (PRINTER)
Hi, Is it possible to set a default "asset\asset group" for a Request Templates? We would like to make it as easy and quick as possible to select correct problem asset.

Query about closing mail and cases being automatically assigned
Hi, Just two queries.. First one is when a case is closed in service desk, (our version is 7.5.0 Build number 7508) is there any way to prevent the user from sending a mail, or what is the best way to close\resolve it without user sending a mail? When the calls are added to service desk, is there a way to set it up so calls are logged automatically to each agent? Any tips and tricks for service desk plus would be appreciated, alongside explanations of those two queries.. Cheers...
