Measure the efficiency of your service fulfilment process by tracking delivery time
A help desk's service process is a blueprint that defines how requests must be processed. It covers everything from how requests must be categorized and assigned to the technicians, to how requests must be worked upon, including the workflow and the steps involved. Tracking the efficiency of the service process is cumbersome and often involves chasing several metrics. A good place to start is looking at your service delivery times. Service delivery time, that covers the total time between request

Import hour registration from ManageEngine to Accountview
Hi there, Im doing my internship at the moment. At the company they use ManageEngine servicedesk plus. In this program they fill in the hourregistration. Now, i'm looking for a way to put this registred hours into another system called 'Accountview'. Is there a way to export and import this data? (maybe via XML?) The reason for this is that they want to automate this proces instead of putting the hourregistrationlist into a CSV file and import that into Excel. Im totally new to this program, so

HTTPS for ServiceDesk on Windows with LetsEncrypt
Can anyone shed some light on if this is even possible? I'm still quite new to the world of SSL Certificates, but I've successfully installed LetsEncrypt for Windows IIS. How do I do it for Tomcat & ServiceDesk on Windows 2012 Server? Perhaps the answer is to install ServiceDesk on Windows IIS, if possible?
Assigned Time Rules
Maybe there is a way to do this today and I may have over looked it, but I would think assign time rules would be a nice addition to the SDP functionality. The problem I am trying to solve is that level 1 technicians assign the ticket to themselves from the main grid to set the assign time, which something we measure (I know be careful what you measure). I have run a few reports and as long as the technician is changed from none to a named technician then the assigned time is update in SDP. I

[SOLVED] Auto change Status after some time when waiting for an answer
Good Day, If we are sending a message out of a ticket, we often put the status on Hold, which does also stop the SLA as long as the status stays like this. If the customer however does not reply to the message, the ticket stays like this and no one is looking after it anymore and there is no progress. It is kind of a dead end. Is there an option to prevent this from happening? For example, the status changes automatically to in Progress after 5 days or that the system sends a reminder to the customers
[SOLVED] What happens if the license of ServiceDesk Plus expires?

Prevent technicians from picking up tickets without filling in mandatory fields
So we have setup On Form Load rules which work great - if we want to change the tehcnician from Unassgined to Assigned - this mandates fields like category etc. this does not apply to 'Pickup' though so when a technician selects Pick Up request, it will allow to get the technician assigned without entering mandatory fields. How to make Pick Up invoke Mandate fields requirement? Thanks.
Keyword Search - Very few number of results
Current version 10017 In the keyword search on the home page at the top, with Default Search chosen, the number of results are very small for the word being put in. Example, the first name of a technician that has been using it for over 5 years got 19 results. Is there an explanation for so few results? Also the documentation on using the keyword search is very thin. I do not see anything talking about how to use wildcards, if double quotes or Boolean can be used. Also what does the [/] mean in

ServiceDesk Change Notification
Running ServiceDesk Build: : 10.0 Build 10017 We've had training on this already by ManageEngine however I am continuing to struggle with notifications on Change Management.

Increase Limit for Associated Changes to Projects
I've been working on a large project with that has many associated changes. I have found that ServiceDesk limits the amount of changes you can associated to a project to 25. Can this number be set drastically higher? For smaller projects this may be fine but any larger projects could easily have more than 25 changes associated. Thanks

[SOLVED]Link requests: add filter for 'requests by requester'
When you bring up the link requests window, it would be extremely helpful if there was a 'show' filter for 'requests from this requester', so that you could quickly see all the requests submitted by the current requester. Often a requester will raise a new SR about an issue that I can remember dealing with in the past - so my current work flow is go to 'Actions > View requests by requester' and then take a note of the ticket number, and then go 'Actions > Link requests' and enter the ticket number

Unable to attach to Change Ticket
Just starting getting this error message when trying to attach an Excel document under the Plan tab within a Change ticket.
Attachment
Good day! I recently updated to version 10017 from 9.3. Everything works fine, but I discovered this situation. I have set up a pick-up of emails (Email parser). Everything works, but there is one, but. If there were 2 or more attachments in the letter attachment, then when the portal picks up the letters, it leaves only the last attachment, and all the others are erased and turned into it. For example, if there were three of them in the letter, then on the portal I will see three identical investments.

Not able to update Site for 2 users
Hi All, Firstly I synchronise our AD with the Service Desk Plus requesters. This works fine. I do however have a couple of users where the SITE is not populated. When I go to manually edit for one (a requester) it tells me: FAILURE: Login with same name already exists. Please provide different value for Login Name The name does not exist elsewhere and never has for both individuals. This used to work fine before he switched locations. When I go to the second (a technician) the Site field is not visible
