SDP 7.0.0 Build 7014 open issues
The following list of issues are open with SDP 7.0.0 build 7014. Some of these issues I have been reporting since build 7009. I have not received specific feedback on any of these issues. Adventnet, please comment and resolve: 1.) There is no way to delete an asset connection relationship. 2.) When updating the requester in a request, if you leave the asset unchanged the update button will not function. The asset should become blank when a new requester is selected. 3.) When an asset is associated
converting workstations to assets
hello, upgraded to SD+6 to SD+7 last week, and all has been smooth. however, it looks like the new inventory management has turned a lot of what used to be "assets" in SD6 into "workstations" in SD7. is there any way to change them back to assets without re-keying them in? p.s. are there built in definitions for assets? it was pretty wild to find out servicedesk had already filed away mpost of my assaets into proper categories
Active Directory
I have the helpdesk set to auto pull all the users from our exchange active directory. Is there a way to set it so that it will show the user's full name? It currently just comes over as their login name for both the login and the full name. We have over 500 employees so I don't want to go through and rename them all.
schedule tasks not appearing after public holiday
I have some schedule task that have been created and log jobs for me to check servers etc every morning. Some of the jobs are daily and some are monthly for maintenance. Since a public holiday they are not running and logging jobs any more, I have to manually go to them as a admin and log the jobs by clicking on the arrow. What can I do to make these jobs run again? I do not want to re create them.
Do not re-open requests based on ignored e-mail types
Currently the system can ignore certain e-mails, like Out of Office, for the purposes of notification. However, these e-mails will still re-open a resolved call. Resolved calls should ignore the same things as notifications.
Home Page - Assets tab software graphs only showing MS
On the Assets tab of the Home page in Technician view are a number of graphs that show details about scanned hardware. One of the graphs shows details of scanned software that is installed onto the workstations scanned by SDP. The problem I am having is that this graph is only showing software from Microsoft regardless of the selection made from the "More" drop down menu. How can I change the filtering on this graph and is there any way that this page can be modified so that I can create my own custom
Ticket Conversation Issue
When a requestor goes to view a conversation (expands), the windows slides open and has the spinning graphic in it but no text, at the same time a new browser window opens and displays the message. Anyone else have this happening on 7013?
Purchase Order Email Format
When emailing a purchase order to a vendor, could it be changed so that you can email the full colour, printable version (inline or as an attachment) rather than the plain text version, as the plain text is not very clear.

Active Directory, additional information to import
I'm currently demoing the ServiceDesk PLus product and I would like to know if it's possible to pull additional info out of active directory such as office, mobile phone, address, etc. If not, is this something for a future release? Thanks, John

Reporting Question, and customizing the view
Hello, I have a couple of questions. My first question is about reporting. I have asked this before, but did not get an answer. Is there a report that I can run to show time to resolve? If a custom one needs to be written, can someone help me out with that? Running on a SQL2005 server. My second question is about the view on the main Requests tab. I know about the box that you can click to being up the column views, and was wondering if there was a way to put Resolved Date in the list? Thanks! ben
your opinions please, migration safe?
Hey Everybody, We've been using servicedesk plus 6 for over a year now and use all of the features extensively. I'd like some feedback from some of you on how smoothly your migrations from 6 or 7 went, and the current state of version 7 for known bugs etc. it took me about 2 or 3 months to work all of the bugs out of opmanager 7 after upgrading from 6. Is servicedesk a smoother process? P.S. what options would I have for testing our migration? under the licensing how would i set SD+ up on a different
Problem/Change lists flicker when mouse moved up and down
When moving the mouse pointer up and down the Problem and Change lists the list wobbles/judders. It is very annoying and uncomfortable to use. This happens in IE 7 and Firefox 2. It does not seem to effect the Requests list.
Locked out of trial
We have recently installed and setup the trial of ServiceDesk Plus. It was set to authenticate via Active Directory pass through. The default administrator account was removed and a technician account added with the name MikeS. A number of days later (and many hours of setup and config) the Active Directory pass through tick was removed. Now we're unable to logon to the system. The only technician name in the system is/was MikeS. But we're unable to logon using it. How can we logon or how can we

Creation of Test Environment
I am in the process of setting up a test environment for SD+, our live is getting too big and busy to be using for my fiddling etc.. I have a few questions: Is it possible to have this setup on a Windows XP Pro machine with SQL Server 2005? When I restore database, will this also bring across the settings of SD+, like Mail fetch etc, or will this all need to be setup if needed? I have installed the same version of SQL etc as LIVE server etc, but the live server is not running XP pro but Windows server,

Search fields
I mentioned this bug quite a while back, and after several hotfixes it has still not been addressed, so I am mentioning it again. In the Search area in the left-hand column, there is a drop-down menu with different areas of the system to search in. As of 7.0, the options Asset, Workstation, and Software are not visible in that drop-down menu unless you are currently viewing the Asset tab. For example, if I am viewing the request list, I can't directly search for a workstation keyword, because the
HIde expired or non existant assets
I need a way to hide /mask Assets that no longer exist in the main interface. We removed the accounts from AD but the rescan of the Domain and import does not remove those records and it should not. BUT there should be a way to not have to look at these items in the program. Relying on Report filtering is not adequate.

Hi, We have a bunch of products in SD that were in there before I became admin. When I try to delete them I get this error: FAILURE :Error occurred while deleting Product. Please report the problem to the system administrator, with the Error Code - 1,205,515,283,809. I made sure that I have no assets assigned to those products. I found out that I have some PO's with these products but I cannot delete those PO's also, I get this error: FAILURE :Error occurred while deleting purchase order. Please

Report for assets on a contract
This is a report that will show you assets (resources) for a contract. You must use the query builder for this one, as you cannot make it in the wizard to my knowledge. Hopefully someone else finds this useful.

AD not automatically acquiring new employees
For a while my HelpDesk AD was automatically updating with new employees from Active Directory, now I have to manually import. The (new) Domain Name is correct as is the ID and password of the Administrator account. Is there a setting or a reset I need to perform to get the product to automatically pull from AD? thanks
Documentation - is source available?
Hi We are about to write end user documentation for our associates. The Service Desk User Guide that you put out in PDF format is excellent but it covers areas that we may not use. If I could get a Word copy I could do some edits and publish the results. Are you willing to share? Thanks Jerry
Asset Mangement
I am checking out the asset management, and I think its a cool feature, it lets me see what licences are used so I dont have to keep track...except I have a corporate licence for Office 2003, and it is picking up the licence as valid for only three users. How do I get it to correct that information?

Asset field not populating automatically in build 7013
Hi. We are using Servicedesk Plus 7013 Enterprise. After the update to 7013 the asset field no longer populates automatically when a requestor name is chosen from the New Request screen. It flickers as if it has populated but doesn't. We then have to click the icon next to the asset field to choose the asset associated to the requestor. This was supposed to be one of the fixes implemented in 7013, but actually it has made the problem worse. I would appreciate a response from support please.

Change Due Date Permission for Roles
Technicians should have the option of setting/changing the due date. I find myself having to gve technicians admin access just so that they can set the due dates. Let's face it, the SLA's aren't a blanket solution for due dates. I think that roles in servicedesk plus should be able to be given the permission to change due dates. This permission can be given or taken from a role at the administrators discretion. (<- Feature Request). My 2 cents.

ServiceDesk system run out of space within SQL 2005 Express
We have just had our ServiceDesk system run out of space within SQL 2005 Express. The SQL server is stating we are only licensed for a 4G data file. We plan to upgrade the server but in the short term we currently have no system. In order to get our system up and running quickly we need to find data we can safely remove from within the database. Is there any data that is temporary we can purge? Any help on this issue would be appreciated.
