[Powershell Script] Check uptime of Asset(s)
It's a common problem (atleast from my experience) that users don't turn off their PC's and when you ask "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" you can gurantee two things: 1. Their answer is "yes" 2. They're lying. So... I've created a script that pings any asset(s) recorded on a ticket and then either adds a note with it's last boot date and time or its offline status. This allows my team to confirm whether a device needs to be restarted or not without having to establish a remote connection

[SOLVED] Run powershell script after ticket creation
Good day, I kind of have an urgent request for information on how to trigger a powershell script on a certain request template submission. This is going to be for automation for users quitting. Questions: How do I use parameters from request fields in the Powershell scripts? How to trigger powershell script to run on request submission? Since request will most likely be submitted before user termination, I was thinking about putting information in a csv to be processed by a scheduled task. Is there
Date Datatype Selection
We have a New Hire template with a date field for the new employee's date of birth. It would be great if there was a more flexible, user friendly way to choose a date in this field instead of clicking through each year to get to a historical date such as a birthday. It would be nice to be able to have the versatility to scroll through the calendar by months, years, or even decades. See example below... Date Selector UI Example

[SOLVED] Script to fill in Technician automatically in request form
I am busy making a template for technicians with the purpose of registering 'first line fix' calls that do not need detailed information to be saved. So in the request template almost all fields are pre-filled-in. Technician only has a minimum of info to enter. Now I need a custom script to be used at the template Rules tab that will fill in the name of current logged in technician. The script should do the following simple actions: - Fetch the full name of the technician - Fill in this name at the

Speed up resolution times by tracking time spent in each status
It's important that help desks closely track what transpires with a request from the time it's created until it's marked closed. Left unchecked, requests could end up stagnating, thereby increasing the request resolution time. One way to track this is to look at the average time requests spend in each status. This will help you identify the status in which your tickets are being held, subsequently enabling you to identify whether it's a process-level issue. For example, requests parked in on-hold
Temporary tasks
Good evening all, I'm trying to find a way to essentially create a temporary task or a reminder task. As an example, if we have someone who is unable to perform their regular duties due to injury/other reasons we move them to a different department to help out. When they move to the new department, their permissions get changed on various software to allow them to perform the new role. The issue that often happens is these permissions don't get removed when they return to their regular duties.

Incorrect sorting in inline editor [SD-77313]
Found a sorting bug in inline-editor when working with multi-select fields. How to reproduce: Create multi-select field with some values. Sort it manualy in correct order. Save. In the request, enter to inline edit mode by clicking on fields. And now, values sorting order is different from saved order. In full-editor (button Edit on top) sorting is correct, as well as in the request preview. P/S/ SDP 10.0 Build 10013
Re-open incidents upon non-requester replies
We've noticed that when other users that are not the requester but are included in an email conversation of the incident reply to an incident, it does not re-open (but it does re-open when the requester replies). Is there an existing setting/feature to change this behavior? To have an incident open when someone replies to an email even though they are not the requester of the incident?

Workflow alerts to users
I have searched and found that task can only be assigned to technicians so I am asking if anyone has found a method to be able to loop users in on workflows. An example would be onboarding. Operations handles purchasing mobile devices, door entry codes, etc and it would be nice if a template could include a task that simply emailed them of the need. I am not concerned with user completing the task in Servicedesk at this point only them being alerted that things need to be done. thanks

[Solved]Can I delete the mLiteMigration folder?
We're running build 9409, and planning on updating to the latest (currently 9416). As part of our pre-update process, we stop ServiceDeskPlus and 7-zip the entire program folder. Afterwards, to save space, I'd like to know if it's possible to remove the "mLiteMigration" folder, as it looks to be the backup folder for the pre-9400 series files. Is there anything in this folder actually used by the 94xx line at this point? Thanks
