Is there something "special" abt notification chec
With the 5500 version of SD+, my firefox browser (with several ad blocking extensions installed) doesn't display the checkboxes on the notification selection screen. I looked at IE and another firefox installation without all the adblocker extensions and it shows up fine. Are these checkboxes REALLY advertisements? :-) Is there anything special about them? As opposed to OTHER checkboxes? This needs to be made consistent. Thanks, Justin

Custom request page for each service
Is there a way to have a custom request page for each service in an organization? Like the application support team would have a request page that contains their relevant information, the facilities team would have a separate request page that would contain their relevant information and the IT team would have their own separate request page that contains their relevant information. This would be better to organize rather than have all the required fields on one request page that confused customers

Linking licence to a downgraded software
Hi, It would be useful if there would be a way to link licences from the assets to softwares listed in workstation's software list. Example: I have 10 pieces of MS Office 2003 licences, but I use 10 pieces of MS Office 2000. It's legally OK. The workstation software list shows 10 installed MS Office 2000 and I can generate 10 licences but rather I would like to link the Office 2000 to the Office 2003 assets (licences) entered manually. Thanks and regards, Tibor B�NFALVI
XP Firewall inventory issues
Is there a port I could open to allow SDP to inventory my Win XP SP2 machines without disabling the firewall? I would rather use Group Policy to allow the Help Desk to go in through an open port rather than having to disable the Windows XP firewall to do an inventory scan. Thanks for any help. SC
Automatic Workstation Owner Update
Hi, Would it be possible for you to build a process into the system where the workstation owner field (or perhaps a new field against the workstation??) to be automatically populated when a domain scan is performed? I notice that this already exists in the back end database but it is not shown in the front-end. This would be most handy for us as some departments in our business regularly change desks/PCs and it takes a lot of administration to manually update the workstation owner field. Any thoughts

A request for service desk : Assigning Assets to Department
Hi, in our company we have departments out through various locations that have the same name. So when we want to assign an asset (such as Netscreen/ or a switch) we want to assign it to a department not a certain user for obvious reasons. However, when you have departments with the same name you have no idea where the asset belong to. I was wondering if you guys can add asset allocation for Location or have it so when you select a department it also displays the location of that department?? It would
Rename or remove the "Personalize" link in the use
We've had customers complain that the "Personalize" link at the top of the SD+ screen is confusing. You can't really personalize anything except your password, and I'm not sure why we'd want them to do that, except to change a password that a technician set for them upon setup of their account in SD+. Can you remove that, or rename it to say "Password change" or simply "Password"? Justin
No visible way to change languages!
Hi there. This is the n-th time I install the free version of SDP. I've eliminated all the c:\adventnet\... folders before installing it once again. I am working with an English Windows 2003 Server as a host, and the fresh download installed a 5010 version, no patches needed. Well, in the "Personalize" menu, there is no option to change the Display Language! And except for the welcome screen, that obeys the selected language in the browser, the rest of the screens are in plain English... Tried to

new version
The new reporting module is a great improvement on the previous version, but you still cannot select any field you want in the 'Custom Report' area. I want to create reports that can (if required) give details of the support call and resolution notes. There is no option to include these fields. Can you please give the option to have any field please. thanks PEter

Custom reports needed for contracts and purchase orders
There's a need to have modules for custom reports on contracts and purchase orders so that we can get an idea of what kind of expenses are coming up in the next 1 month, 3 mos, 6 mos, 1 year. I know there's been prior reports saying that we want reports that go out further than a few days or weeks, but apparently this is slightly different, with the desire to have custom reports implemented, not just notifications of upcoming expirations, etc. We'd want to see dates, contract title, cost, sorted,

Customising the request portal
Hi guys. Is it possible to customise what the user sees on the way "in"? We do not want them to see the workstation field in SD+ as they a) don't know the answer and b) then pick what they think is the answer. In most cases we have not logged their workstation and in other cases they are calling us about equipment that is other than PC - i.e. a telecomms issue. It would be good to be able to stop them seeing the workstation field. Thanks.
Is there a way to have users see Request#'s by default?
With notifications going back and forth, it's sometimes helpful for techs and users to be able to see the request #'s by default. Is there a way to set it up so that all users will have the request ID's shown by default in their list of requests? As it is, I have to document how to add this, and some of the users are not well versed in following complex instructions. Justin

job numbering
Hi guys, my company is looking at implemeting SD as its helpdesk solution but only if it is possible to automatically add our reference numbers to the calls. i.e. instead of the standard call1,2,3 etc we us something along the lines of 06F4,06F5,06F7 etc..... Is it possible to get SD to generate these codes or at least for us to be able to add them to the jobs? Cheers
Applying a Solution to a Request should count as a "Vie
After a Solution is applied to a request, this should increment the number "Views" on that Solution. This will more accurately reflect how many times the Solution has been used and how popular it is.
