SDP On Demand API v3 - Update User
Hello, I am using the following URL to help me update a user: https://ui.servicedeskplus.com/APIDocs3/index.html#update-an-user Is this still the most up to date documentation? I create a ticket via API and the requester is new, so there is no e-mail for the requester yet. So, I was going to find the user with the ID the response gave with the request creation and then update the user email_id. Is this the correct URL to use? PUT https://{URL}/app/itdesk/api/v3/users/{USER ID} The input_data is:
SSO for trusted Domain
We are trying to configure access to our HelpDesk for users from new asset with separate ActiveDirectory Domain. We already have configured SSO using ADFS 2.0 in our main domain for access to HelpDesk and configured two way trust between our AD. So, now we need to provide the access for users from new asset from trusted domain. How we can do this or what options do we have?
VIP users
How to flag users as VIP and automatically increase priority on their tickets?
Yealink IP Phone scanning
Hi Has anyone successfully managed to get SDP Cloud to scan yealink IP phones into the Asset register? Yealink have removed SNMP function from their phones and I have been unable to create a scan using http on port 80. One of the main reasons we bought SDP was asset management and now it appears a large part of that functionality doesn't exist.
Ticket passing through multiple groups registered in each for reporting purposes
Hello, I have an inquiry to make regarding the possibility of a particular request being able to be registered once for each group it is being assigned to in order for the reporting tables to present each groups workload correctly. I.E. Incoming email parsed, servicedesk creates request, assigns to group1. -> Technician1 of group1 performs actions, assigns to group2. -> Technician2 of group2 preforms actions, returns to group1. (Reported as Resolved for group 2) -> Technician 1 of group1 contacts
Ensuring the Resolution field is populated before setting Status to Resolved
Hi there, I'm configuring our SDP (Cloud) and when creating a test ticket I noticed that I am able to resolve the ticket without anything written in the Resolution field. I would like to ensure that the Resolution field is populated before our Technicians are able to mark a ticket as Resolved. I'm sure it's probably a very straightforward setting change, but for the life of me I can't find it in the documentation I've looked through. Could someone please advise? Thanks, Amy
Assigning and finishing tasks from service/incident requests for normal users
Hello guys, I've asked the question already through the build-in help function of SDPOndemand. I've decided to also post it here, because we had an internal discussion about it. It's about tasks that can be set up on service/incident requests. Currently only an 'owner' can be set, which are only technicians. This in itself hinders and limits the application of SDPOndemand significantly in our opinion: individual tasks are 99% of the time relatively small tasks that have to be accomplished by a single

Notification on SLA change
Hi, We have the system set so the longest SLA is assigned as default when a request is raised, unless they use the self service portal and set their own SLA. The notification they get sent when the request is opened advises them of the timescales they should receive a response and resolution, however we commonly change the SLA as some requests are under or over prioritised by users. We'd like the updated SLA to be sent to them in a notification, however I can't see where this can be configured,
Change Implementer Role
Hi, We sometimes need to raise changes on behalf of third parties that complete work for us. We'd like the implementer role to be correct but it only gives us the option of Technicians to be the implementer. Is there a way we can add either contacts or people unknown to the system to this field? Thanks Tom
Assigning Group but not a Technician
Hi all I have set up a Technician Group containing 2 x Technicians - if someone has picked up a ticket then tries to assign it to the Group, it doesn't work unless they assign a Technician too, am I missing something obvious here as i want to make it so that the ticket remains unassigned to a Technician (although the relevant Technicians are being alerted)? Thanks Doug.

How maintain unique assets via asset management
Hello We are currently considering ServiceDesk Plus EMS in the cloud. I have been reviewing the asset management module and would like to know if it's possible to select different fields as the Primary Key? We want to ensure we do not have duplicate asset entries eg the same mobile phone serial number entered more than once. Initially we plan to import an asset list via a csv file and manually enter assets as we purchase them. We use the serial number and asset number of each asset to ensure uniqueness

Prevent Redundant Request Creation
Hello there, We 're have some trouble on ServiceDesk Pro sdpondemand. The case is that we have multiple groups associated with unique email IDs. (Support Group 1 : group1@support.com, Support Group 2: group2@support.com etc.) Right now when an email is received one ticket is created for each mention of the relevant email IDs in the To: and Cc: fields. For example the retrieval of an email like this: To: group1@support.com; group2@support.com Cc: group3@support.com Will result in three tickets created

Column title not correctly visible in Chrome

Report on Past 12 Months
I am using Service Desk Plus Cloud. Is there a way to report on received requests over the past 12 months. I was hoping to set it up as a scheduled report to be emailed to certain people within the organisation. I know I can look at this year and create a line graph as part of the report but would love to know if there is a way of reporting on the last 12 months.
ServiceDesk Plus 10 release versus ServiceDesk OnDemand
Guys, It starts to become really tempting just to hop over again to SDP 10 instead of using the OnDemand version. This new version came out, and i was surprised to see the sheer amount of changes that this product has seen over the last 2 years, in comparison with SDP OnDemand. Now, i'm not saying SDP OnDemand hasn't had it's changes - but the changes are much more visible in SDP Plus - the whole interface has had an overhaul. This made me wonder: what can we expect the coming year of SDP OnDemand?

New Requests Notifications for closure of requests
One of our technicians has reported receiving email notifications of a "New Request" being created when the actual event was the request being changed to "Closed" status. It leads him to believe it is a new request but it is generated for a requests closure status (which happens with the auto-system closure option) Some notes, the technician was the one who created the ticket. The Technician was not the requester that was entered he entered somebody else's name. Do you know why Service Desk would

Custom Functions tab missing?
I see this feature advertised on the ManageEngine site they even host a video tutorial for it, but I don't have the option in my instance. It's supposed to be under Automation > Custom Actions > Custom Functions, but only that tab is absent. Was this feature removed or is there a setting somewhere so I can enable it? Does it require a special license? The tab is referenced in the documentation here: https://help.sdpondemand.com/custom_actions
Overall performance
We have no issues with sites in general, but the performance of the ServiceDesk Plus Cloud is abysmal. At least a dozen times a day , I need to close and re-open the window because it simply will not load the next page (e.g. "Resolution"). I constantly have to refresh because the pages don't load. For a web service, it just seems incredibly sluggish. I raised a ticket for this before and was just told "everything is working fine". The issue is not specific to my PC - other technicians have bemoaned
Attachment preview not functioning as expected
Guys, On all my browsers i tried: Edge, Edge dev channel, Firefox and Chrome latest versions the attachment preview is not working... I even tried across a few different PC's now... it is not working as intended: i don't get a preview from PDF's, from Word-documents (doc and docx) and Excel on nothing. My personal opinion: this has to work and show a preview, or else i have to do one more click to download the file, whereas before i immediately got a downloaded file, or it immediately opened, depending

Create a request through API with Powershell
Hello! I'm trying to create a script to create a ticket automatically and am just testing it out to figure out how this API call works. I have some working API calls to get tickets, but this one seems to be giving me trouble in passing the input_data over. I'm currently doing it over the url (encoded) with an example. I've also tried sending it over the -body parameter in Invoke-WebRequest, but that was also not working properly. Am I passing the input data over incorrectly or am I just missing something
Customize Requester Portal Option didn't launch
Service Desk indicated that on September 1st the requester portal user interface would change. We sent out a communication to our users to give advanced notice of the change however manage engine never implemented it. Did anybody else experience this? Has the launch of the new requester portal UI been delayed for some reason or should I go ahead and select the "publish to all requesters" option?

Solutions - SDP iPhone App
Someone had emailed me over the weekend asking how to do something. Since I was not in the office, downloaded the Zoho SDP app for my iPhone. This was my first time utilizing the the app. I noticed that I could do all ticket related items, but nothing with the solutions. It would have been nice to search solutions so that I could have forwarded that onto the user. I can think of multiple instances where this would be useful to me off hours.
