What to display in Name Requester or On-Behalf-Of Drop Down Box when creating ticket
Can we display ID when a user enters Requester or On Behalf Of? When a requester is typed, in the drop down, the ID would be so incredibly more useful than the email address or department. Can we replace the department and have it display the ID? Once a user is selected, the ID is also not displayed, the title, department, email and contact number are displayed. Again, the ID would be much more useful than most of this displayed information. The More Info button is probably more clicks than we

SQL Script to change data
When we first started using ServiceDesk we as an organization decided to use Resolved as our closer code for any request that were completed and to rely on Closed when a request could not be fixed. We've learned recently that Resolved does not retrain the Technician name when a tech leaves. This is making it rather difficult to reference old notes. Is there a SQL script we can use that will update the status and closer code from "Resolved" to "Closed with Success" for any quest that has a status

How to change display order of Report Folders list?
We have created several folders and the system appears to sort the folders (as viewed under Reports) via folder creation date. This puts the newest folders on top, which is often not ideal. We would either want the most important folders on top, or at least an alphabetical list so we can easily find the folder/report we are looking for. Is there a way to do this in the UI that we are missing? If not, is there a database change/edit we can make to give us this ability/hack an order into place? (MSSQL
