Script Master - 8: How to automatically assign users to different roles in a change request.
Change managers often decide who plays different roles in implementing the change effectively in an IT infrastructure. For a frequently carried out change request, the team involved may be the same. This can be based on the services affected or the change type. As a result, the change manager has to repeatedly assign the same set of technicians for a frequently occurring RFC. This Script Master post will help you do away with repetitive technician assignments and automate the process of adding users

Notifying requesters when a ticket has changed group.
Hi, I have a feeling this may be a configuration issue, but we wanted to send a notification to the requester when the group has changed on a ticket. The scenario is we have 3 groups of desktop, infrastructure and Software support. We would like to notify the requester that it has been moved to a new group to be investigated even if it is not assigned to a technician. I can't see a way of creating a custom notification rule on the configuration wizard. I perhaps wondered if instead of using

Duplicated "Resolved" Ticket are not Being Closed Automatically
Recently we found hundreds of requests that are resolved but not closed automatically. We had set a rule to auto close resolved requests within 10 days. After going through in details, we found that these tickets are copy/duplicated tickets. The copy is done from a resolved requests, and the user/technicians didn't trigger the change of ticket status, therefore the tickets are not triggering the auto close rule. To prevent this from happening again, is there a way where we can disable the "Duplicate
Need to base Field and Form rules on requestor values
Is there any way to trigger Field and Form rules based on requestor field values? Here is my situation: We have a large number of users without a dedicated phone number of their own.

Project and reqeust task auto-scheduling
An auto-schedule feature in ServiceDesk Plus would help with the scheduling of projects, especially in large ones with hundreds of tasks. If a parent project is delayed, the child task and any that are effected by the delay should be re-scheduled automatically. Currently you must schedule each task in a project or request independently, which makes large projects very difficult to manage.

Custom SLA (or trigger)
Looking for assistance in building out some new rules for tickets created in our environment. Currently we only receive tickets in via email. 1. I was hoping to create a rule or SLA that would generate an alert (email) within 2 hours if the ticket had not been assigned to a technician and a top level category assigned. We currently have subcategories and it seems to me you can't leave that blank if you select a top level category for a new ticket. 2. Once it's categorized create SLA's that generate

Task attachments
Hello, Where on the server is SDP storing task attachments? Within the fileAttachments\Request folder?

Identifying Incident or Request through variable
What is the method used to differentiate an Incident from a Request in the technician request list? There is an icon there that shows whether it is Incident / Request, but I can't figure out what it is that it is triggered by? Is it some internal flag trigger by which catalogue the ticket is raised from? The minor thing I'm trying to resolve is that when a ticket notification is sent to the technician we want to have an identifier in the notification to say whether it's a request or incident. I was

SDPlus - Contract import fails to parse xls date
I have tried to import contracts (to save time) and would have been quicker entering them manually! The xls is saved with date format yyyy-mm-dd, but I keep getting this parsing error: Date parsing error : Unparseable date: "19 Nov 2017, 00:00:00" I have tried (many times) to use the failedContractsList.xls - when I open it the date appears as 19 Nov 2017, 00:00:00.

Is there currently any way to have the system automatically capture a copy of the approval message that was sent to the approver? For example, a requester is requesting an item be purchased. The request goes into SDP, then a technician picks it up the ticket and send it off to a manager for approval. The approval request could look similar to the fake email below. To Michael, Subject: Approval required for a request I have a request for 1 license of Sublime Text Editor, could a new license be
