Non Login Technicians
Hi, Is there a way for non login technicians to view a task and close it after they resolved it. We have limited license and would like to utilize the non login technicians however I can send notifications with them but could not login (when clicking the link) to further view and update it. Additionally if they reply back to the email, SDP treat it as new incident request. Please help. If my question is not clear I'll be happy to elaborate further. Thanks

Create Lync Account - Using Custom Menu/Trigger
So our procedure and policies changed on creating lync accounts. This led me to create a powershell script to make this quick and easy, so I decided to share a powershell script I wrote. I hope this helps some people out there. Not promising any support though =D # ------------------ Start Script ------------------ # Store request data passed to script - this must be first element in script param ( $json = "none" ) $jsondata = Get-Content $json -Encoding UTF8 #Encode if necessary $requestdata

Asset scan - Wrong Product Type > CIType association
Hi, I have a problem when scanning assets. I'm using the agent and I configured a custom product as you can see in the following picture: The scan finds the exact model -> "Latitude 7490" but sets the CIType to "Server" instead of "Workstation - Laptop". If I try to edit the asset Product Name manually then it gets linked to the right CIType. This is the state right after the scan: Then I click on Actions->Modify Type: and without changing anything I just click Save. Doing so moves the asset directly
Changes in v10, Longwinded procedures closing tickets
Hi, Is it just me or are their more steps involved when closing tickets since V10? In V9 you could simply select the drop down items, enter a work log and then close the ticket. Now you have to enter the worklog separately and the resolution separately meaning more time spent doing the same thing... Can we modify Servicedesk and tailor back to how it was? Cheers,
Pre-configured SDP with basic industry standard templates
Do we have or has anybody tried a pre-configured SDP with basic Industry Standard Template? Reason is we are doing a lot of Client POC, so instead of configuring from time to time Can we create (from back-up) or any other way so that we can load a pre-configured basic or advance configuration with industry standard templates. So that we can just load the back up on every POC request. Any suggestions are highly appreciated. Thanks, Allan

ITIL incident management & SLA & response time
Hello When defining SLA's in SD+, you can configure a response time: What is the criteria for triggering the response time? How does SD+ know that a response has been undertaken for a ticket? Is it the automatic mail to the requester, when a ticket is created in the system? when a technician sends a first mail? when the request status is set to 'in progress' ? Thanks for helping me to understand it. Best regards, Marc

Trigger notifications to requesters
I am looking to notify specific Requesters that a new hire is coming on board. These requesters will be in responsible for creating accounts for said new hires. I have a template setup for our HR team that will come to the IT team when someone is initially hired. I need to be able to perform a task that will notify users that are not technicians so that they can begin creating the accounts for the systems that they are responsible for. What is the most efficient way to do this? Thank you for the
flushing of logfile
Hi, In the logs directory there is a file called sso log. This has the size of almost 1 GB. Is there any way to flush the file automatically? We really don't need log 1 year back, and it should be flushed on a weekly basis. Best regards Thomas
JESPA.LOG file up to 2 GB
Noted this log file is getting pretty big. Properties say it was last modified in 2017. Any reason not to delete it? Path is "Manage Engine\Service Desk\Logs". We are on Service Desk Plus 9400 (soon to be 9411). Thank you.
Copy values from one field to another in bulk
Hi folks, I have a field that was specific to a Service Request that I'd like to replace with a common field, but I have to preserve the data. My thought was to add the common field to the existing template and I was hoping you could provide me with a way to copy the values from one field to the other. In this case, the request field is a date field called "Eff. Date" and I'd like to copy the values from that field to a common field called "Effective Date." Thanks, Adam
Email added to old ticket conversation with no delimiter
Odd thing popped up (Build 10500). We use the standard delimiter ## in the subject of emails. Normally when a user sends an email to the inbox with ##request number## in the subject, that ticket's conversation will get updated with the email. We just had, what strongly appears, to be an old ticket update that did NOT have the ##request number## in the subject. This email should have created a new ticket. I cannot figure out how this happened. The subjects of the tickets were identical. Has new logic
Templates not showing up to Technicians after upgrade to 10503
Dear All after upgrading to version 10503 the request catalog templates displaying all services and incidents stopped showing up for technicians while it is being displayed normally to normal requesters. the problem was faced only after the upgrade while it was working in version 10502 anyone experienced the same issue? thank you
Changing the Additional Field Type
Why is it not possible to change the current format of the field to other format? We currently have fields in use that we would like to change the field format ( Ex. Single Line field is used to with amount by users) but what I can only do is to remove/disable the field and insert the same with different format. But by doing so, we will lose the field in the already created requests and the new field inserted will be blank. It would be tedious to update the existing request one by one.

Getting ISO date from a DateTime field?
I'm trying to get a date in ISO format by extracting the data from a DateTime field in the following manner: var startDateValue = $CS.getValue("GUDF_DATE2"); var startDate = startDateValue.getYear() + "-" + startDateValue.getMonth() + "-" + startDateValue.getDate(); Instead of producing a date in a format similar to 2019-06-19, the output I'm getting is along the lines of 119-6-1 . What is the correct syntax to achieve this? Thank you.

License Management for Thin clients
Hi There, We have a fleet of 400+ Wyse Thin Client devices. These devices cannot be scanned as they do not allow software to be installed on them. Manually completing the software assignment for each of these Wyse boxes is a very time consuming and complex task. We believe there may be a way to automate this process by using the back-end databases/table of the asset register to import the asset and the licenses for each asset as well using some sort of programming language. Has anyone done
Problem with menu items
If you enter the parameters, the settings menu appears on the left. Items are divided into categories. When you click on a category - nothing happens, the sub-items of the selected category are not expanded. In version 10501 it worked ... and in version 10503 it does not work.
