Unable to Close Purchase Order associated with Purchase request
Hi, I am using Manage engine service desk plus 9.4 version, SQL Server database and facing trouble with closing any Purchase order created through purchase request, while on the other hand, there is no problem closing PO created directly/ without purchase request. I have tried all possible scenarios for example, Closing PO with and without notification. I have also tried to close purchase request first, but all in vain. I have verified actions through "system log viewer" and it is not showing any

Reply window sometimes doesn't close (but reply is sent)
I'm using 10017 but have had this problem for a few previous versions -- it's not common, but occasionally when I click 'send' on a reply the window stays open. The reply is always sent, and if I put in a status change (e.g. open > resolved) that change is actioned. I believe it's most likely to happen if the reply window was open for a while - may be related to draft saving? It's not a big problem for me because it's rare and doesn't seriously interfere with workflow, but I thought it worth mentioning.

Searching through CSV file for User
I'm hoping someone with Python skills can assist with this concept that my team and I are hoping to implement into ServiceDesk. When a new internal user is requested to have access to our applications, they need to go through a background check (we would send the request out for approval from ManageEngine). Up to this point, we have been manually sending requests for approval. If they are an existing user with access to applications already, we would just skip the compliance check. We don't want

[SOLVED]Servicedesk Time wrong after Daylight Saving Time
Hi We are having an issue with Times in Requests after the Clocks went forward at the weekend. We are currently working on GMT London* time zone. When requests are being set the time is then being pushed forward by an hour. I've read forums about fixes but there are from years ago and didn't want to try them on the build we are on now which is Version 10.0 Build 10009 Thanks Steve
Create report to track CURRENT OPEN REQUESTS for each day?
I am totally lost on how to use the Report tool in Servicedesk Plus in a good way. I would like a graph (or table so I can export to Excel and make a graph) of how many requests we have Open at the morning of each day. I'd like the graph to show for each technician who has anything assigned to them, and also unassigned, and also the total amount. Put simply, I want a table that says something like this: Date John Billy Katie Total 2019-02-01 10 2 5 17 2019-02-02
Why tracking customer satisfaction alone isn't enough
Today's help desks are entirely customer centric, and everyone from technicians to managers play their part in making sure customers remain satisfied with the services delivered. Technicians constantly look for ways to provide swift and high-quality solutions. IT managers play their part by keeping a close watch on metrics that directly have an effect on customer satisfaction. These metrics include first response time, request resolution time, service delivery time etc., A more direct approach to
Idea - Automating escalation through Microsoft Teams for ageing tickets
Has anyone worked on automating escalation of ageing tickets to the support group leader's account in Microsoft Teams or Slack? The idea is send a chat notification only once to the support group's leader when the ticket has breached SLA and reached a threshold level (say delayed by 7 days). This is to add a sense of urgency to the ticket.
Solution Permissions by Technician Group
Is there a way to limit certain solution entries to only certain technician groups (much like the way we can limit it to certain user groups)? We have some solutions that we do not want to share with certain technician groups as they contain sensitive information they should not have access to as part of their job scope. If this isn't possible, can this feature be added in a new release?

Approval Reminders - variables
Can we add more variables to the Pending Approval reminder notification. Currently we are only able to add 'MyPendingApproval' to the email body. This works for technicians whom are on their workstations and click on the link. For technicians, typically management, who are mobile the link provided prompts them to login to the mobile website. Once logged in they aren't able to view pending approvals on the basic web interface. Ideally we would like to be able to add the $ApprovalLink for the specific

How do I rearrange list order of IT Assets?
So my list of IT Assets under the tab Assets is in no good order at all. It starts fine with something on A and ends with something on Z. But inbetween there is no real order. In the screenshot you can see the order of the partial list is Switch Workstation - Laptop - Desktop Server Accessory IP Phone How do I rearrange this list? Preferably in self selected order, otherwise Alphabetically would be fine.

Add another tab to requests
Hi, Would you please consider adding another tab to requests? What we'd like is a tab entitled: Additional Fields Purpose: We have a lot of additional fields in our Service request templates, especially those dealing with Application Enhancement/Development. Those additional fields have to go onto the detail tab making it a bit busy looking. Under most circumstances only the technicians fill these fields in after the original request gets created. We believe having a separate tab for additional

New user request form and workflow
I'm just wondering if there is a standard/supported/best practice way of creating a New User Request electronic form and accompanying workflow, to automate AD user account creation entirely within SD+. In essence, I'd like for certain Requesters (Managers, Department Heads etc) to have access to a New User Request form within SD+ that contain the standard fields necessary to create a new user. Ideally, this would then be submitted as a ticket and assigned to a technician who would skim over it quickly

[SDF-41306] No Reply From User in ticket notification
We often have several requestors cc'd on tickets. When the technician receives a notification from the SDP the notification only lists the official requestor on the ticket and NOT the person that actually replied. I've looked through the variables available in the notification template and don't see an option for adding the user that replied to the template. Example: User A creates request w/User B cc'd Technician replies to request with User A as the To and User B in the CC User B replies to technician
Forms: Smart workflows / rules
I'm working on a form that contains many field/form condition rules. If field is 'Yes' show this field, mandate this field, etc... Is it possible to have an action from separate rules action another rule? For example: - Rule 1A: Show field ABC if answer is YES in field X - Rule 2A: If field XYZ is YES, then set field X to YES I want Rule 1A to run automatically if Rule 2A completes (changing field X to YES shows field ABC). My workaround right now is to remove field options from field X to only

(SOLVED)Merge requestors and keep history
Hi, I have seen the possibility to merge requestors in SDP, but my scenario is as follows: We are underway to change AD-domain. All our users will be able to be mergered once the new domain is synced to SDP. However, we want all the history of each requestor to be merged as well. Will the history of each requester follow the merge or will it be lost?

[SOLVED] Automated closure of incidents
We have 30-40 requests per day that come in to our ServiceDesk that we would like to automatically close. We need to keep them logged, otherwise we would just delete them. We can come close by editing several issues at once, but then they still need to have a resolution manually entered, one-by-one. Is there a way I am missing that would allow us to do this?
