Report assistance
Good Afternoon. Could I kindly ask on of the PostGre SQL Gods to assist with theis report? I's just like to edit it to reflect 'Current Month' instead of having to specify each time it is run. I'd like to turn it into a widget but makes no sense to edit all the time. Thanks in advance. Report Data is below. Jason SELECT ti.FIRST_NAME "Technician", qd.QUEUENAME "Group", count(wo.WORKORDERID) "Total Request", count(case when std.ISPENDING='0' THEN 1 ELSE NULL END) "Completed Requests" , count(case
Viewing the requester self service portal as a technician
Is there any way to view the self service portal when you're logged in as a technician? So far all I can see is the screen for editing the portal, but to actually view the live portal I have to log out and log in again as a non-technician
How to Scan Esxi 6.5 or vSphere 6.5
I really don't want to scan the vm's that are associated with vsphere I just want to get the physical hardware information. I have tried this a few different ways and haven't had any luck. We have created a user in vSphere and gave it read-only permissions. We than added this user as a Vmware-Credential in the credential store. I have tried to use this user to scan the individual hosts as well as the vcenter server. I always get a "credential not configured" error. I really, really DO NOT want

Automatic notification for requests without update
I would like to be able to send an automatic notification if a request has no response for X hours (the hours must be configurable). Example 1: No end user update - Requester opens a request - Technician responds to request for more information - Requester does not respond - If the requester does not respond within 48 hours, a notification is sent to him: "Hello $Requester, We have not had a return on this request in the last 48 hours. We look forward to your return to proceed. " (notification template

API - Requester info in WorkOrder
One of the common tasks we have is to submit an approval for someone's manager on a ticket. In some cases this might be preset on the template but in other cases its a manual send. When you click on the requester link on a ticket it pops up a dialogue box that shows their details but does not show their manager name. This forces staff do pull up the address book or another source so find the manager name. First, it would be nice if it had the manager name in this dialogue box. That would save some
Remote Control button for Terminal (RDP/Citrix/etc.) users in SDP
Hi, when SDP is used in cooperation with DesktopCentral you can Remote to users' machines directly from SDP: that works only for users with assigned assets such as laptops/desktops. What about terminal users? You still can login into DC and find a user by its username and then select it from a drop-down list and remote to that user's session. How about integrating that functionality to SDP as well? SDP can search through a list of pre-defined machines and once a particular user has been found you
Announcement for specific service

Is there a way to automatically close tasks when the request is closed?
I know this kind of defeats the purpose of tasks... but there are occasions when we need the tasks to close when the requested is closed without having to manually close/resolve each task associated with the request. Is this possible? Thx
Move Service Catalog Additional Fields to another another catagory
The option to be able to move a Service Catalog Additional Field to another Service Category would be really useful, i had created a large Pick List under a service category and to realize that i needed to use the same field in multiple categories. I had to recreate the field under the common fields category but would have been great if i could have just moved to a different category

How can a technicien view his own requests easily?
Is there a view that can allow technicians to view the requests that they are the requester? I know this is doable with a custom view or an advanced search but is there a way for a technician to quickly view his requests just like a requester can? If not, is it possible to request this feature?
Add multiple email addresses for requestors
Is there a script that someone has already created for adding additional email addresses for requesters? The email syntax in our AD environment is different from the email address that our users actually send from, so there's no way for SD to associate a request coming via email with the correct active directory account. The result is that if a user sends and email to open a ticket, they don't have access to view their own ticket in the portal because SD thinks it's two separate requestors. Basically

Can the ServiceDesk Plus App be used by the end user?
I have installed the ServiceDesk Plus app on my mobile (Android) and was able to log in after generating an API key and will allow me to use as a Technician, however if I log out, and log back in as my test account (a standard user) I get the message regarding an API key has not been generated, but the user has no way of generating a key as they are not a Tech. Anyone know if this is possible?

Moving users from different sites to just one site (or no site at all)
Dear All, In our production environment, an initial configuration of SDP was made to consider regular rooms as entire sites, which is not fit for purpose. Before considering implementing sites in a beneficial way, I would like to have all the requesters into one single site (or no site at all). Currently, the site field is named as Roomnumber (which needs to be changed to site) and is receiving data from the AD based on the room where the requester is located. So, in a nutshell, how can we remove
Slack Intergrations
Hi all, We have started rolling out slack to our business and have a channel where users tend to open service desk issues. At the moment if something need to be logged (isn't a quick fix) either a technician or the user will need to log it separately either via email or the SD console. Ideally we would like to have the ability to send a comment from slack to service desk, we do already have the ability to send information from SD to Slack but want to go the other direction - is this something which
Copy Report
Is there a way to copy a report? We have a report that we run for tickets for a certain technician during a certain time frame. I cannot find a way to copy that report so that I can create one for each Technician rather that creating a new one.
SLA's broken. Again.
This is getting silly now. I've set up a business rule that sets the priority for incoming email to 20 minutes response and 21 minutes resolve time. It was working but now I am getting this?????????????? We are trialing this for an important business function but I am rapidly losing any faith in this application to do anything in a remotely consistent way. The idea of paying for support sounds good but if there are going to be this many issues I wonder if I would be better off looking else where.

Remove Request Tab from Self-Service Portal
First of all, sorry if this ends up being a duplicate post. I thought I posted this issue earlier but I can't find it. I would like to be able to remove the "Requests" tab from the Self-Service Portal in Service Desk Plus. I don't want requesters to see any history relating to submitted requests. Is there a configuration option I can change to remove the "Requests" tab? If not, is there some form of work around I could implement to get me by until a future release when this feature might be implemented?
