Upgrade to 7 now or wait?
Hi All, We would like to upgrade to V7 (from 6.15), however would really appreciate some advice feedback on the V7.11 We are hoping that in V7 a few of issues that exist in v6 have been addressed. 1. Searches return a blank screen 50% of the time. 2. SD+ crashes intermittently with a 500 error / browser crashes when editing notes. 3. Over all speed increase over V6 Also what�s the general consensus: Is V7.11 up to the job in a busy helpdesk environment or are there some show stoppers in there at
Enhancement Automatic Routing
Enhance the email auto-request generations engine with regular expressions for more intelligence, multiple criteria. Also allow more than just auto-assignment, but auto categorize, prioritization (such as users who are in 'executive' group get top priority), and special rules for systems that receive tickets from automated sources (i.e. An application that automatically generates an emailed request in a failure event won't be a requestor, and it won't need to receive email responses).

Extensibility through Web Services/SOAP/XML/WSDL
Add extensibility features for ServiceDesk (and other AdventNet tools) to build our own integration interfaces using web services technologies through published WSDLs. SOAP, XML, remoting, and mashup technologies to allow other people to build modules that would plug into ServiceDesk to allow enhance and use necessary services.
How to set standard language for all users in ServiceDesk
We have a standard ServiceDesk Plus license (not Multilanguage). In our demo all user got Norwegian as their language. When we put in the license-file all users got English as language. How can I set standard language to "NO"?
Uppercase username causes HTTP 400 Error
A user of mine is getting an "HTTP Status 400 - Invalid direct reference to form login page" error when attempting to logon with an uppercase Username. This issue appears to only affect Requesters. When a Technician or Admin enters an uppercase Username, the system concantenates it back to lower-case and logs the person in. We have replicated the error with multiple Requesters. SDPlus 2007, Build 7009
Custom Reports
I am trying to create a custom report that shows all requests and their resolutions but there is no field option to show who the resolution is submitted by. Does anyone know how I could get that type of report?
Backup Scheduling - no files shown - yet they are there?
I've setup backup scheduling in version 7.0.0 Build 7011. So far everything works fine (aside from having to change the attachment parameter manually in the globalconfig table), except that the backup files (which do exist in the folder on the server) are not showing up in the web interface. All that is shown is "Backup not available". Anyone have a fix for this? It would be nice to be able to manually delete these backup files through the web interface if needed.

Great service ......very fast .......thanks ! prescription viagra
SQL query help needed please
I have the following script that runs fine (Build 7009 on MSSQL 2000). However I need to put a time limit on each select statement so that it only counts incidents created in the last month, but I am having difficulty as SDP does not use the standard SQL date format to store dates. Can anyone help please? This is the script: SELECT p.priorityname PRIORITY, isnull(nod.SLAI, '0') as "WITHIN_SLA", isnull(od.SLAO,'0') as "FAILED_SLA", isnull(cnt.cnt, '0') as "TOTAL" FROM prioritydefinition p LEFT join

SD+ assigning to wrong groups
Hi Each time a user sends an email to our helpdesk it is putting it automatically into a group, it is the same group each time but I have not created any rules to specify this group. I have double checked the business rules there is no rule that sends mail to this particular group. I am on version 7 build 10. I have had this issue since upgrading. Kind regards
Report to update manager with latest notes added
My manager wants me to send him a typed weekly update via email with all the latest information relating to requests outstanding and what progress we are upto. Seems we are using SD v7010, I would like to be lazy and get this report to be automated via the SD if possible. It would be ideal if it could be restricted to a certain field that we have created in Request - Additional Field, its called Location (Site) in Label 3. Your knowledge would be great and get me out of a VERY big ditch at the moment.

date issue "M�rz"
Hello together, we have installed ServiceDesk Plus and it worked during half a year like a charm, but now it is always on 100% of cpu load. I traced the SQL-queries and could see that there was a loop. I took the query that produces the failure that caused the loop and executed it usiong an SQL-editor. The query includes the date and tries to write it into an datefield in the database. The sql-editor complains bad date-format, because of the '�' in the german "M�rz" for march. If I set the Systemdate

View Departmental Requests - BUG!
I have a number of users around the business who act as points of contact between departments and IT. As part of this role, it is important that they are able to see requests raised by others within their department and there is a checkbox on the requesters details page titled "Allow to see all requests for the department". Unfortunately, with each import from Active Directory, this becomes unchecked. There are previous posts relating to this bug and I have emailed support@servicedeskplus.com but
SDP 7 - Asset Management - Windows Domain Scan - List wrong?
Using build 7008 We have one active AD domain in use but a number of contractors on site at present using machines with other domains declared on them. SDP is detecting these and adding them to the list of Windows Domains to scan. That in turn makes them available in the sign in page of SDP as by default all domains found are flagged as Public. So at present I have round 5 domains listed but only 1 is public. The above are annoying but known features of the system. What I found yesterday was the

Can non administrators change request due by dates
Hi All, Every so often the due by date needs to be changed on a call that comes in. The helpdesk manage this process however the only way that we have found to allow them to do this is to grant full admin access to everything including the admin setup of service desk This has caused a problem in the past where one of the staff was snooping around in the admin folder and made a change, which cause problems. Is there a way to give the access to change the due date of a request however not require full

Asset request management
My department is in charge supporting hundreds of tablet computers with our software on it for our clients. We assign the asset (tablets) to clients' departments, not individual users. In the tracking software we are migrating from, we used tickets that were attached to devices (our tablets). In Service Desk we are trying to get used to attaching assets to requests, though it would be much easier for us to open up the asset first, to see the history, then open a new ticket (request) from that page.
Email & SSL?
I'm trying to configure the email interface on our test install. All of my available email options (POP & IMAP) require SSL authentication. Is there a way do tell SDP to use SSL? If not, how do people work around it?

Upg v6 to v7 - Anyone can login in now
Hi All, Just wondering if you guys can help me.... not sure if this is a bug or not, or if its always been there... although dont recall it. I work for a school, a large school... where we have more computers than students. We've been using ServiceDesk now for like a year, and when we had v6, I am pretty sure the only people who could log into it, were the ones that AD (ActiveDirectory) scan import allowed. ie: I let SDP scan our AD for all Teacher accounts/logins, leaving the student accounts unchecked

Newb here - Products / Assets - Just getting started
Hey all, The company I work for has been using ServiceDesk for a couple years now. When I say "using," I mean they've been paying for it. I would like to start using it! So I've added a product called Dell m5200. Now, when I go to add an asset, I choose m5200 as the product. It asks me for an asset name. What do you guys normally put here? Is this a good spot to put "Customer Service Printer" or similar? There's a location field also and I don't want to be redundant. I'm just looking for someone
Scanning Worksations
In our business we have about 14 offices. Each office has its own domain, on its own subnet (192.168.1.x, 192.168.2.x, etc.). We have vpn tunnels linking each office to HQ where ServiceDesk is hosted and have routes to each office in place in place. Each Domain is named SCA, SCABN, SCACT. etc. If add a domain to ServiceDesk thats at a remote office and scan it everything is fine, it picks up all machines that are online. Service desk uses IP addresses to perform this scan. Once these machines are
Using Spellcheck inserts extra space
7009 on MSSQL 2000 If you use the spell check option and then select the proper spelling using the built in SDP spell check, it will then automatically insert an extra space after the word you have just corrected. It's nothing major, just a minor annoyance as I then have to go and delete several spaces. Does anyone else have the same issues?
New request template
I am looking to create a new request template which will be used as a checklist to build machines. We build machines specific to our own machine build notes, step-by-step. What would be the best way to have this in the call, either a checklist within the call log description or have tasks assigned to the templates that you need to complete before the call can be closed down? An example of our documentation that we have at the moment is attached below for reference. Your thoughts on this would help

Feature needed in Tasks within Requests
I was experimenting with the built-in request template of, "New employee joining the organization". I noticed 4 tasks are automatically created when you use this template. Those tasks are: - Setting up email address - Entry in Active directory - Setting up user computer - Setting up user location There is a significant feature needed in this "tasking" process. Given this specific example, this is a type of request where these four tasks might be performed by different GROUPS within an IT organization.
Request Template - Auto Assign Owners to Tasks
I have created a request template. On this template there are a number of tasks attached to it. Is it possible to have all of the tasks automatically assigned to the person who the request gets assigned to? Thanks!
