How could I mass update the region?
Hey everyone, we got a little issue on our ticketsystem. There are many tickets that without a region. So I was thinking of two ways: First, I oversaw a feature on the ServiceDesk OR I could SQL Update on our PostgreSQL, but I can't find the right table. Does anybody know in which table the region of a ticket is saved? Cheers, Stephan
Cannot Upgrade to ServiceDesk Plus 10503
Hi ManageEngine, I am currently running 10500 and when I select the 10503 file to install in the UpdateManager.bat I receive the following message: "The file that you have specified is not compatible with this product." Have you had this reported by other customers? Thanks, Brad
Creating a Request from an email
Good Morning, We are using the free version of ServiceDesk Plus, version 10.0 Build 10011. We are trying to get an email from a user converted into a request. Here is what we have done so far. - We have an email set up on exchange "helpdesk@mydomain.com". - We have ServiceDesk Plus setup to fetch emails from this mailbox. - I can log into this mailbox using webmail and watch emails come into this box, then watch them disappear a minute or so later, so they are being fetched by ServiceDesk Plus.

ServiceCatalog Pick List populated from Requesters Location Data
For our onboarding a few required fields we have under general employee info include the Department and what City Building the user will work in. Our "City Building" additional field is a very long manually updated Pick List. Is it possible to have a Pick List that is generated from current information already found among other requesters within SDP? Also if the above is possible or not it would still be a very long list. To further enhance it for the person submitting the request, would it be possible
Why is NIO even required?
It seems the NIO port stuff is a new(ish) requirement. Previously we had the ServiceDesk Plus server sitting behind a load balancer that handles SSL termination for our entire web presence. After upgrading to the 9300 branch, we started to notice long page loads, etc, and couldn't figure out why. Come to find out some things load over (default) port 8081 for whatever reason. We do not have port 8081 exposed to networks that people have access to ServiceDesk from (and won't), and as such, all

Roles - need another layer to view tickets
We'd like to propose another layer of tickets views for Roles/Permissions. Right now there's All (everything), Site based, Group based, and ticket based. We'd like to be able to provide a lens for some technicians to view tickets across some, but not all, groups. We know this can be accomplished via adding a Technician to said group(s) but this also then lists them as available technicians within the group. Also, by adding everyone to all groups it reduces the purpose and value of team separation

Task in to Request Field
Hello Everyone, I have been able to show parent request field info in child tasks. What I am looking for now is to also be able to updates request fields based on task entries. For example, we have a New Hire workflow that involves multiple tasks. Information is entered in to the task such as an assigned phone number. Ideally that phone number would update/populate an "Assigned Phone#" field in the parent request. Does anyone know if this is even possible?
Multiple requesters created from one AD account
Hello, currently i have SDP 10 synced with my AD on premises. also we have Office 365 email service attached to the organization and uses the on premises AD to sync as well. For this to work, In the AD, we have configured for every user the login option as: - login: user - login: user@o365email.com well, back in the SDP, i just found that users can login via "user" and via "user@o365email.com" just if the AD password is correct. This creates duplication in the requester and obviously every account

SD API slowdown
Hi all, for a number of months now an installation of ServiceDesk I have been working on has been experiencing significant slowdown in the speed of ServiceDesk API calls. We are talking about every single call taking between 30 seconds and a minute, and this applies to different types of calls dealing with the Requests module. Any suggestions on what could be done to improve the situation, perhaps a section in the documentation or an article or an earlier forum post that deals with this? Thanks in
[SDF-78952] Hide "On Behalf of" in template
We recently enabled our On Behalf of Field as we'll be wanting to use it for a few new incident templates are are making for on boarding. But we have other templates we really don't want it on at all since it would only cause confusion for our requesters. Is there a way to hide this field in a template? I don't see it at all except when I preview the template as a requester.

Moving DB from Test Server to Production SQL Server
I would like to move our SD database currently residing on a test server to SQL Server production server.

Take a backup of servicedesk using backupdata.bat Stop the SD application. Run ChangeDBserver.bat from SDP-home/bin folder. Provide new MSSQL server details in the GUI & save the settings. Start and stop the SD application (this creates the MSSQL database)

Ticket Colours
I may be mistaken but at a recent SD+ workshop I am sure we were introduced to the ability to see tickets in a queue and individually highlight them different colours for easier administration but for the life of me I cannot find anything referencing that feature. Any advise or tips on getting something similar implemented would be greatly appreciated. Build 10.0 PGSQL
Technician Availability
Is there a feature or way that when a technician calls in sick and there is no backup technician that handles that persons tasks and we mark them on leave that the sla's associated with those tasks can be put on hold without having to go into every ticket for them or that gets assigned to them and putting them on hold..... some of these are maintenance tasks and not as big of a deal to worry about re-assigning but we still don't want sla violations out there.... some people really have no backup
User Interface (UI) customization
Gents, It seems you made ServiceDeskPlus for admins. Where is a nice interface for users (Self-Service Portal) ??? I can change Self-service Portal widgets position. And that is all. How can I modify [background] colors, fonts size, borders, titles, frames, etc (CSS) ? Just compare Dashboard page for admins and UI Self-Service Portal. There is two different worlds. UI is ugly, plain and poor. Thanks
.MDMP files
Hello users, Lately we have been receiving requests related to piling-up of .MDMP files in the directory ../ManageEngine/ServiceDesk/bin. We would like to inform you that these are dump files generated by operating system on the event of application crash. It contains data from the application's memory state at the time of crash. Reference: https://community.tableau.com/thread/251030 We would not require these .MDMP files and can safely be moved to a different location. Ensure ServiceDesk Plus gets
People who have upgraded to 10.5--is SDP crashing for you constantly?
We upgraded to SDP 10.5 about two weeks ago. The application crashes almost every other day. I contacted support and they had me uninstall the old SDP, then perform a clean install of SDP 10.5 using the 10.5 installer so we could start fresh. Ever since, SDP crashes every day or every other day. I contact support and they restart the services like 10 times then say the issue is resolved. THE ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED. I'm curious how many other people are having similar issues to us. SDP is installed
Interface freezes for awhile when sending email notifications
Is anyone else experiencing delays when ServiceDesk triggers a notification event? For example when a ticket is updated and a notification is sent to a user ServiceDesk will hang for 20-30 seconds. This happens for all email notification events in ServiceDesk. I am able to telnet from the SD+ server to port 25 on our email server (same subnet) with no delays. Running SD+ version 9.0 Build 9039
Technician Training Dashboard - Logging records for coaching technicians
Is there a plan to have a feature wherein we can log coaching sessions with technicians within SDP? We have SMEs, Managers, Supervisors, Senior IT personnel who regular perform coaching sessions for new and existing technician for handling improvement on a specific record (i.e. Request, Problem, Change, etc.) Right now, the log recording is all over the place - some in spreadsheets, word docs, and other platforms. It would be easier if we can easily manage it within SDP.
Remove Mandatory Field Requirement on Incidents Created by Email
We just updated our SDP from 9414 to 10020. In the old version our ticket manager was able to assign unassigned tickets created by email to a technician or group. On the new version when they try to assign the ticket they get a screen saying mandatory fields cannot be empty. The ticket manager doesn't have time to fill out all of those fields before assigning it to a technician. That is part of the technician's job. As a work around for now I have turned off mandatory for those fields but they need

Service Desk Plus REST API - '&' Character causes errors when used in category name
Hi everyone, I have been at this issue for a while and I am yet to find a solution. Our system is set up where one of the CATEGORY options is "Email & Phone". However, If I attempt to make a ADD or EDIT Request with that as the CATEGORY name I am given an error. I was using JSON as a format so I tried JSON specific escape characters which did not fix it. I also tried XML as a format and used "&" to replace "&" but I still received an error. Any help would be much appreciated.

Prevent user from re-opening a ticket after x days
We have Allow requesters to reopen their own requests? set to YES because we want users to be able to re-open for a predetermined period of time, but not cases that are over a week or 2 old.

Else, create as a new request. however, users can still go to the portal and re-open cases months or even a year old. How can we prevent
