Hi there. We have been using ServiceDesk Plus for a very short time and finally started using the Change Management module. There is a question about Blackout periods.

ServiceDesk Plus Sites
I'll start off with a question. Are sites needed for my organization? Now the reason I ask. I was not part of the group that initially set up our ManageEngine products for my organization. I've been in it for about a year myself and in that time I've realized that many things weren't set up in the best use manner. I'm sure this is from lack of understanding since it was all a learning process. And once things got to a point where they worked, it was kept that way since it was good enough. I work

ServiceDesk Plus - incoming emails not fetching
Hi, think this is going to be a long shot but here goes. Version: 10.0 Build 10019, just upgraded to see if it would solve the issue. Inbound emails, fetching from a mailbox has been working fine, the smtp version to send is still working. If I double check the details and click save, it reports all saved but could not connect to the mailbox. I've tried to connect from another service using POP and IMAP and all have been successful. Also I am unable to find any logs reporting failure on fetching.

Time elapsed equal to 00:00:00
I've analysed the reports of last month in more details and I saw that for some tickets the 'time elapsed' is '00:00:00' with the 'request status' on 'closed'. The 'time created' is 'May 4, 2018 08:35 AM' and the 'close time' is 'May 4, 2018 10:32 AM' . Any one an explanation or a direction where I should go to analyse this. For the same month, we 've tickets were the 'time elapsed' is correctly calculated. regards Koen Vlemincx

[SOLVED] Duplicate Technican
We are in the process of cutting over to Office 365 and I am a test user. We are planning to rename our login names (UPN and pre2000) on A\D to make details more uniformed. . As part of the testing I changed my A\D login name (UPN and pre2000). To cut a long story short I had to recreate myself in SDP as a technician logging in via the domain. This has resulted in my name showing up 3 times under technicians. In future plan to merge the remaining technicians.

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
