Hi everybody, first of all i want to leave a few good words for the development-team. We have upgraded to 6.0 today and you are providing many great new features. Good Job. The main Question for this Post is about the Tables used in 6.0. I checked these and found many changes. Is it possible to have some kind of Data-Modell or a description of the tables? And - some Feature Requests which i mentioned earlier in this Forum but have not been implemented in the 6.0 Release. I would kindly ask you to

Would like a reference from current user of this product
Hello I have been looking at this product and am very interested. Even had a technical phone call with a few of the engineers at AdventNet. My next step is to get a reference from someone who currently uses the SD+ product in a live environment. It would be a big bonus if it's being used in the Hotel/Restaurant industry, but not required. I will have 3 technicians using it, 2 at the admin level, 1 at the support level. We have several sites connected via VPN, and will add more sites in the future.
Trouble with Migration to MSSQL-Version
I have tried to migrate to the MSSQL-Version as described in your Postings here but i can't get the SD running after the migration. There's no error-message at all. The Service is running but the webpage is not comming up. I checked the Database on the MSSQL-Server and it seems that some Tables are missing. For examle - i can't found any Table called WORKORDER which is essential i think. We have switched back to the MySQL-Version for now. But maybe somebody can help us to solve this problem.

Can you create a New Request for an Asset
Hi I know you can create a new request for a Workstation which a user can create for themselves. Is it possible for users to create a request for items such as network printers, photocopiers etc which are used by departments and do not belong to any one owner. I would like these types of equipement to be avaialbe for users to create requests for themselves.

AD scheduled scan
Hi again, This is about the scheduled Active Directory scan of requesters. Thank you for this feature, it was much needed. A question though - what is the exact time of the scan - the time when the option was activated or some other time? Is there any possibility to adjust this? Maybe modifying in the database ? Gabi.
Requester doing reports
Hi, If I understood correctly a requester could be permitted to generate reports if it is associated with the SDReport role. Here is the description of SDReport: "This is a mandatory role for ServiceDesk product which when associated to a technicians/requesters allows him/her generate reports. Hence it cannot be edited or deleted. The question is: how would one go about doing that association? Because editing the requester does not show any option related to that. Thanks. Gabi.
Automate Workstation to User?
Is there a way to incorporate a script to automatically detect a user assigned to a workstation and post that information in Service Desk Plus? Right now you can import each separately, but is there a way to link both together?

Notes to Workstations?
Is there a way for me to add notes to a workstation without adding a request? Sometimes we do maintenance, etc. that was unscheduled or a repair and it would be nice if we could just add notes on the occasion rather than filing a whole work order for the process. David.

Glad to see that if you run a report and filter on the main category, it includes all subcategories. However, I can't seem to figure out how to run a report ONLY on a sub-category. Am I missing something? Thanks, Christian

user groups and mailing
creating user groups based on service they are consuming (it can be custom group or AD or SD SLA) to create tickets using group requester (or additional field - affected group) and sending notifications to all emails in group this can be very useful to notify group of user about scheduled service downs and it seems this function lays close to announcements...

I'm currently testing SD+6 and awaiting the full release (the end of this month?) and am a bit lost on the feature of custom views. I've created a new custom view to show certain requests.

Asset Explorer in SD+
Will Asset Explorer be client/server based or is it the usual open up multiple services and ports on a PC for it to scan and have it not work most of the time? I would prefer a client that would talk back to the server instead of opening vulnerable services and ports. Any update?
HelpDesk Website
Okay, here is my problem. I have Service Desk Plus installed on my server and I would like to create a web address (i.e. helpdesk.sierracouriers.net) to point to the logon screen for service desk. Instead of the user having to type the server name and port number to get the logon screen. Is there a way that this can happen or not? Thanks.
Fill in automatically incidents with email body contents ??
Hello We receive emails from our call centre, all at the same text format. In the body of these emails, there are different info, incident number, callers name, etc.. Is it possible to have SD read inside the body and automatically fill in the incident. E.g. all incident number are written after a tag "incident number" followed by the actual number. I'd like to get this number and put it in a predefined text box in the SD incident... Same for the rest of the information. Thank you, this is very important

Problem Assigning a new asset to a department
Hey gang. We have been busily creating and assigning new assets to users. All is going good. We even have some assets assigned to departments - all good. However sometime between Dec 06 and Jan 07 a problem has developed whereby on the NEW ASSET form, when we select the "Allocate To" pull down and select DEPARTMENT....the "Owner Name" never populates. We can select users or workstations with no hassles (just a small delay while it populates which is fine). If we try the same thing on a workstation
