Create a field for Line Manager in a new request
Hi - apologies if this has been asked, but I can't find the answer!! I am trying to create a field for Line Manager for a new joiner type of service request. To ensure it is correct, I was hoping that I could make the field query the list of requestors within ServiceDesk plus, which sync's from our AD, but can't seem to figure out how to do it. Any ideas? Thanks!

Each time, we try to access the Solutions tab in our ServiceDesk, it lags extremely slooow. Eventually, it will show. We could scroll down to each title, but this is not conducive to productivity.

Has anyone else noticed that the role SDGuest has been added to all/most of their existing technicians? We're running v11004 and have not assigned this role to any of our techs prior to updating from v10017. Now it seems the role is being added daily back to techs which may be tied to another issue we are having (random forced logoffs). Could this be tied to the daily AD sync? Has anyone else seen this? What ramifications does this have to tech access etc..
Hiding / Deleting inactive Incident Templates
Hi all, Currently using 9.2 Build 9221, but soon upgrading to 9335. Over the years we've built up a big library of Incident templates. When a template is no longer relevant, we delete it, but it seems to only mark it as Inactive: This makes the Template screen very untidy, and its not easy to audit our active templates without having to manually pick through them. I have a test copy of ServiceDesk+ set up with no templates other than the Default. I set up a new Template, and deleted it straight

What degrades the quality of IT service the most? The lack of a streamlined service process in the organization.

Emails not appearing in new support group
Hi, Hope someone can help me. I've set up many queues with email addresses before with no problem, but now i'm having an issue with this new one. Created a new support group with technicians assigned to it. Created a business rule for that, so if emails to this address are sent in, they should appear on the new support group. As mentioned before, i've done this for complaints and marketing recently with no issues. is it an issue with exchange perhaps? If anyone can advise me that would be great.

Updating Prioity sets SLA to "Not Assigned" - why? !!! URGENT!!!
Hello - I have a big issue where if a requester submits a ticket with a wrong Priority, the Technician will triage it accordingly but when changing the Prioity, the Response and Resolution Due By times are set to N/A. Why is this? THis is very urgent as our SLA reporting is skewed in inaccurate, please help!!
SLA problem
Hi, It appears that the SLA will only react to the operational hours if it is measured in 'hours' rather than 'days'. For example, if I set the resolution time to 23hrs 59minutes it will set the DueBy date based on actual working hours. If i then change the resolution time to 1day, the DueBy date is set at exactly 1 day away, regardless of the operational hours. This means that we can only set an SLA of a maxium 23hrs 59mins as any more than this does not work correctly.
How to script approvals based on multiple values in a Service Catalog resource question
I am really stuck on trying to use a Python script to automate our approval process.

There seem to be a lot of conversations around this topic, and is a critical need for us to automate. My challenge is that I am not a Python programmer, and don't know what data is available in the JSON file to have the scripts evaluate. Hopefully I am just
ServiceDesk Plus - Importing Virtual Hosts and Virtual Machines
Hi guys, Is it possible to manually import Virtual Hosts and VM's via CSV so that they are classified as Virtual Hosts and Virtual Machines? Do I need to specify particular fields in my import file? Basically I want to add my ESX hosts manually via file as I can't import via vCenter, and I don't want to do scans on every host. The reason I ask this is that an import task only appears to list "Server" as an asset type, and not a separate option for "Virtual Host". Cheers, Ben

Email notification when closing calls
When we have finished working on a request, we Resolve it if we want to notify the requester but in some situations it is not appropriate to do that so we just change the status to Closed, effectively closing the request. We have set the system to email the technician to let them know when a call has been closed (as it could be closed by a different technician in their absence) but the emails are only being sent when a call which was Resolved is subsequently Closed by the system 7 days later.

It's also not creating a custom field for $WORKORDERID but I'm not sure if this is something that needs to be created in JIRA? Is there something that I need to change in our Jira.xml?
