Time wrong on SDP
On creating jobs the time is out by hours, as an example I created a new incident just now and it shows a stamp of 14/11/2018 07:13 PM the actual time is 13:44 (date is correct) any ideas why as the date and time on the windows server is correct? this is a new installation that I am trying to setup for testing and hopefully move away from our current helpdesk. Running Version: 9.4 Build 9425

Support Groups following tickets
Hi folks, We have traditionally allowed all of our technicians to view all tickets across SDP. We have distributed Tier-1 service desks that escalate to a centralized Tier-2 to Tier-4 groups. (That is, the Tier-1 is a single-point-of-contact support desk for customers in that area. For security reasons, we are going to be implementing roles that prevent groups from seeing tickets in other groups. However, what we really need is for the Tier-1 technicians to see all tickets submitted by their customers
REST API for task update
Hi, I'm new to SD Plus and have been playing around with the REST API. I have been able to create new r tasks with the API key generated. However, when I try to update the request with the same key, I am getting an error stating: { "response_status": { "status": "failed", "messages": [ { "type": "failed", "message": "Technician key in the request is invalid. Unable to authenticate.", "status_code": "401" }, { "type": "failed", "message":
Self Service Portal Report an Incident Widget
Ok so on the "Customize Self Service Portal" there is a Widget called Report an Incident. Is there a way to hide the "Request a Service Option" I ask this as in the Free Version of SDP you cannot create Service Templates so this being in the Self Service Portal and linking to a page of blank page of templates is confusing to the end user is it possible to remove this button from the widget. Cheers.
Worklog Timers for Worklogs in Tasks

Outgoing in-reply-to
Hi, I've been digging a bit on this before, but as the problem is getting bigger for us I figured I'd make another try on the forum, see if there's any chance of a fix. When we're replying to a mail through Servicedesk the 'in-reply-to' field is filled with an email address, rather than the message ID it's replying to as the field is there for. The e-mail in that field might be due to us running multiple alias on the mailbox we have connected to the Servicedesk, as a fresh and clean install with

Extra info next to sender’s name
Hi SD+ community, First, thank you all here on this forum for your support for SD+ users. My company uses Google as our email provider and in recent weeks we noticed some strange behavior of mail sent to DISTRIBUTION GROUPS used by SD+. The new security mechanism introduced by Google for their email groups is described here: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1311182?hl=en Simply speaking, we see in SD+ tickets with "'Sender Name' via Group-Name" as Requesters. This has serious implications in
Sort by in custom views
Group would like to have list of Requests sorted by Priority then Request ID. They can manually click on the column to sort, but they would like it part of the custom view.
Using an additional field with an approval python script
I have a an incident template with an additional filed called 'Line managers e-mail Address" which is compulsory, when a requester completed the incident request there is a custom trigger that calls the python script, this uses the 'Line managers e-mail Address' field to create a JSON with "ADD_APPROVAL_STAGE" The reason for adding the approval stage like this is down to new staff having different line managers, and we have many, all line managers are requesters. Python Attached. The request is made
A requester or technician is unable to self approve using python script
I have a trigger to call a python script that pull an e-mail address from an additional field on an incident template and adds the email address to the approvals list This in general works really well except if the logged in technician or requester completing the incident request and also enters their own email address into the additional field (this does occasionally happen when the person completing the incident in also a Line manager with approval), the request is created but there is no approval
ServiceDeskPlus request assignment
When a request is assigned to a group instead of a technician, it is still listed as Unassigned. This is not logical. If you give me an option to assign it to a group, and if I chose that option that request "is assigned".
Hiding the Site field
Does anyone know of a way to hide the Site field in Incident/Request Template? I tried a script: jQuery('[name=site]').parents('div.columnr').hide(); which I am fairly sure is wrong as I copied it from something else. I think it should work, with the right parameters.

Contract Worflow? or Request Workflow?
We have been using manageengine to store our contracts over the year, but now we want to introduce some automation to our contract process. I can't seem to find any workflows for contracts. What i thought was a new contract could come in as a request and then have task associated for the appropriate parties to "approve" (basicly close their task). Once all the tasks are completed the Contract Manager would send it off to docusign for signature then upload the final in the HelpDesk, to complete the

where can I find overview of all current operations of the Servicedesk Plus API?

Set Service SLA based on field selection
Hi, I am looking for a way of automatically setting the SLA for a service request depending on what the user selects on the template. We have a scenario where the lead time for resolution on a particular request could vary depending on what the scope of the request involves. I had assumed that I could control this via field and form rules but the control of the SLA is excluded from that unfortunately. I may be missing something obvious but any help would be much appreciated!

Unable to change Request to re-assign to a new technician, on some Requests
Hello, I'm currently experiencing a sporadic issue where on about one third of Requests that have been assigned to a technician A in my group. I am unable to assign the request to another technician B in the same group.

The problem is repeatable for the same Request. All the Requests where I have

Scanned software "excluded" and "freeware" Under Licensed
Hello, Our Scanned software with type is"excluded" or "freeware" are displayed as Under Licensed in Servicedesk v9.0 Build 9002. The only option to set the Compliance type to Compliance is to add a software license for as example Microsoft Silverlight and set the license type to "excluded". Is this the only way? We have 2000 scanned software, if we have to add a license for all those applications we have to spend a lot of time. Hope there is a fix for this. Regards, Danny
Change Management - Migrate To New Status
If a technician was to click on the link and change a status what actually happens? Is it just a request to a change manager or does it actually implement the proposed status?? How do we hide this if we don't want people clicking on it??
SDP reply templates formating and Microsoft Outlook
I am currently running SDP 9.4 build 9409 and the support groups in the application submit any changes they need done by an admin to my team. When they need to add a reply/resolution template to the system, I notice the format is never the same as what I received. I receive the templates through a ticket in SDP and I copy them to Microsoft Word and I merge the destination formatting in Word, but after when I paste them in the SDP text editor for the templates, it looks good on the screen but when

$COMPLETE_JSON_FILE question
regarding the way powershell calls in $COMPLETE_JSON_FILE This is not the same json object you receive by making an api call to view a request.For instance, any custom $obj.request.udf_fields will not be exposed the same way the $COMPLETE_JSON_FILE is, it looks as if the latter already converts any custom fields to their label names and values, right on the root request object. So i am having difficulty in thinking up a way to test my scripts against the actual $COMPLETE_JSON_FILE object that my

Alert group technicians when unassigned ticket is updated - SDF-62584
Hello, Can we get an update on SDF-62584 please? I have found in your forums requests for this feature dating back 10 years, yet no other information can be found. In reply to these requests, for the past 10 years, the only response that are posted is that it is being considered for a future release. Seeing as it is now 10 years later, can we get an update as to when this will be done? Is it even on someone's radar? From the community, I'd like to know how you deal with this issue. Thanks, Éric g.
