Request Additional Fields, can they be linked to Departments
In ServiceDesk v7 7001 We are trying to have Requesters input as much information about their issue as possible. As our company branches over varying sites and departments we were hoping to have a Pull Down field where our users/requesters can identify what department they are in and which site they are located at. I realise it is possible to create new fields in the Request - Additional Fields sub menu but is it at all possible to link the entries i have listed under "Sites" and "Departments" under

Question about creating request template
I create a new request template and the template name is "Account - Generic Log-in Creation" the owner details default is "Group -> General Helpdesk" the category details default is "Category -> Network Accounts" and "Sub-Category -> Network Account Log-in". If i used this request template is this possible that it will be place in General Helpdesk Group and possibly can be seen this request template by the member of the General Helpdesk group?

send email to technician - what's the difference?
Not sure if I can't see the wood for the trees here but what is the difference between "Send Email when a task is assigned to a technician." and "Alert Technician by Email when a request is assigned"?? Seems to me like they are one and the same thing? Found under Notification Rules: Request...
Couple of questions..
I have been using your product at a previous company and had been loving it, and when I arrived at my new one, and they didn't have a help desk program, I told them about this one. We have been demoing it for them for about two weeks now, and a couple of questions have come up. First question is about Email creation. Is there a way to get the program to recognize the Importance flag in an email, and assign it a different priority? Like if I have all the email creation tickets set as normal, but the
Notes, & worklog not duplicated over to "duplicated
Hi there, running Service Desk Plus build 7005, and finally got my team in the habit of adding notes or worklogs BEFORE they duplicate a request. With 7005 we have noticed that no notes nor worklogs get dupicated over :(
ServiceDesk upgrade?
Is there a way to migrate ServiceDesk from v6 to v7 without any data loss? Do we have an upgrade path yet or is it still in development? Perhaps this has been answered but I struggled with the forum search tool. Thanks, James
Default requester login details
We are currently running version 7, build 7002. All our requests are picked up by the mail-fetch utility, which also creates a new user when they send an email for the first time. My question is, how do we define what their default login details are? We are especially interested in the password, which we would ideally like to be blank for all new users created by mail-fetch. How would I go about doing this? many thanks
Removing LEVEL field?
First time poster, I have tried looking for any info on this but as yet I have had no luck, Now my question is, can I remove the Level field from requests? As we have no need for it, and it will just cause issues if we leave it there?? Hope someone can help Thanks In Advance

Change approvals not working
Hello. I am running Servicedesk Plus Enterprise build 7005. When our CAB member approves our changes we get the email to that effect but the change remains status 'Requested' and 'Approval Status is 'N/A'. This is a big problem for us as it is making the database records inconsistent with work being carried out. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.
Technician access levels
At the moment, we have 2 levels of access to our helpdesk. An "SDTech", purely a technician who has full control of the requests & "SDAdmin" - self explanatory. Unfortunately it seems when we need our 1st line support guys to create new users on the helpdesk (we don't have AD linking set-up yet, though this would be useful!), they cant see the "admin" tab as there not administrators on the helpdesk. Is there anyway we can restrict these guys to "SDTech" only yet also enable them to create new users?
Extra setup requirements or hints not in manual
Okay, we have decided to purchase SD+, I have tested this on a PC, and had the normal teething problems(mostly my issues) and am about to setup on a SQL 2005 machine. What i need is a list from you guys of things that may not be in the manual that are must do's or don't forgets, basic hints to help me with the install and initial config. Anything at all would be great, no matter how simple or obvious you think it is, let me know. Hope you can help, and thanks in advance
Requestors ability to view Approval
Is there a way for the requestor to see an approval? Whether it was approved or denied and why. My managers are always putting notes in the approvals , that are important for the requestors to see. The technicians could copy this information over, but then the requestors would think the technician is the bad guy and not the manager 2 or 3 levels above them.
SQL Integration
Hi, Two querys... 1. We would like to insert/update data within a SQL database when certain SD+ events occur. I.e. when a SD+ request is closed. Is this possible out of the box or are we looking at adding triggers to the SD+ tables to achieve this? 2. Can we create new SD+ requests via a SQL insert into the SD+ DB? Thanks
default view problem - why is it set to Open Tickets?
I have another issue since implementing this SDP product. I was wondering if there is a fix for it - or a way around it. When the technician opens his instance of SDP and selects the Requests Tab, he is present with a list of Open tickets by default. Which to be perfectly honest, is pretty useless to us at my company. We require the Group View to be the default view, so I can actually see tickets of all status, not just that which are open. After all, surely a ticket with a status of Assigned is
Limit on attachments?
Using SD+ 7005 Is there a limit on email attachments to SD? If so, where can I change that?
Problem with login
Dear, SITUATION : We have the following situation : We give training in small groups to our end-users concerning the usage of ServiceDesk 7 (e.g. : How to fill in requests, find solutions�). After these users followed the training we "add" the users from Active Directory to ServiceDesk so only these specific users can log in into SD7 (Active Directory Integration is enabled and pass-through is also enabled). We decided to do this so that only users who followed the training can log in. Users who
Technician with restricted view ?
I would like to be able to enable technicians from a couple of our subsidiary companies to use our SDP server. I want those technicians to only be able to see and deal with calls raised by users from their subsidiary and not see the calls we deal with on behalf of other companies within the group that we directly support. Is this possible in SDP or is the only a see all view for any technicians ?

Additional departments appearing
My departments list appears to be gaining a few hundred "Manchester" entries. Deleting these is a little tedious so I need to find out where they're coming from, and what action I need to take to prevent them from appearing. Also, why multiple entries for identical spellings?

Scanning Workstations SD7
Hi, I have some problems with the Windows 2000 workstations while I'm scanning them. I already follow your instructions, and nothing, it gives me the error 1.193.619.319.529. Are you going in the future to do a client that we can install in this type of computer? Or at least a script that will send the information to the SD7 server. Thanks.
mulitple email address for mail fetching
Is it possible to configure the incoming mail fetching for more than one email address? My issue is we are starting a project where we expect at least initially a lot of support issues. We created a new email address for this project and autoforwarded the messages to the helpdesk email which creates the ticket just fine. But, we want to have the tickets related to the new email address to be categorized in Service desk automatically for this project category and assigned to a specific technician.

Has anyone gotten the survey results in SD6 to mean anything? What exact query are you using? The canned reports mean nothing as they are just raw numbers.

Redesigned criteria/rules selection
The criteria selection process for things like business rules, the spam filter, etc., is limited, not to mention buggy. What I propose is a new rules module that operates more like the rules in Microsoft Outlook. This would allow for much more advanced filtering capabilities throughout the system.
CSV import auto select fields
It would be nice if the CSV import feature would automatically select field columns if the names match those on the CSV import page. IE: 'First Name' would select the column in the CSV titled 'First Name', 'Phone' -> 'Phone', etc... This would help speed up the import process, since I'm unable to use the AD import feature (we are a sub-set of a larger domain and don't want to import every user).
Version7 is a fresh installation & there is no upgrade p
Hi, This 7.0 version can only be used as a fresh installation and the upgrade pack is not yet ready.So please do not install version 7 over the earlier builds which will over write the data. We will update everyone on the release date of the upgrade packs soon. Thanks for your cooperation. Regards Jack
Copy Business Rule
Business Rules have given flexibility in SDP but currently rules cannot be copied as a template for another rule. It would be useful if rules can be copied, then edit the parameters afterwards to adjust for that particular rule.
