Technician | Adding SDAdmin Role
Hello All, I have a technician who I would like to add the SDAdmin role to, however when I go to the technician, and click on "Enable login for this technician" I am able to choose Enable Custom Privileges and choose SDAdmin, however the page is also showing Login Name / Password / Retype Password / Domain. I do not have this users login information and don't really want to ask him for it. How do I get around this? What am I missing? Jeff Day
Task condition in workflows
Is there a way to include an IF condition in a task workflow? This can help drive the creation of tasks when implementing service requests. Is there a workaround for this that someone can suggest?
SDP do not handle Calendar meetings as request
Hi, We have people that send requests as Outlook meetings instead of mail. So what happens is that SDP dot not know how to parse the meeting, and the body of the request is the raw data of the meeting.(Picture below) SDP should be able to parse the meeting so that it's more readable, it could create a scheduled task from the meeting data. This is an issue and not a feature request and i am not expecting this to be resolved soon, i am simply pointing out an issue here. Thank you guys
Convert Service Requests to Incidents?
Hello, I like the new feature where we can convert incidents to a service request template. It would be great if we could convert a service request onto an incident template. I know we can manually edit the request type, but we have an issue where unless the request is on an incident template, we cannot associate the request to a problem record. Many thanks, Frank

fileAttachments folder - Access file attachments over network
We are doing a server migration and the bulk of what needs to be moved is over 300GB in file attachments. My thought was to create a symbolic link to the fileAttachments folder on the old server so that the application could still read those files while we are copying them over to the new server (which could take several days). I tried this, however I cannot start SDP once the link (labeled the same - "fileAttachments") is created. The services crashes right after starting. When I take way the link

Script query
Hi, I am using a Script to prevent categories from being used by anyone....I added the following Script to apply to anyone who uses the default incident template. Field & Form Rules > On form Load > Applies to All users > On Create & Edit > On form Load > Execute Script $CS.removeOptions("CATEGORY",["Regular Tasks & Checks"]); $CS.removeOptions("CATEGORY",["Service Catalog"]); This prevents a couple of categories from being selected when a request is created. For some reason our Technicians can't
First response timers
Folks, We're starting to depend heavily on our first-response timers to ensure quality of service. From my understanding, the timer is stopped using three methods: 1) When a reply to the requester is made via the reply button on the ticket. 2) When a worklog entry is made and the (consider this first response button is checked). 3) When the time is stopped manually (privileged). My question has is around the second option, the work log: a) Let's say my tech is calling someone to work on this issue

Reply to ALL
Currently our helpdesk appears to be replying to all instead of replying to sender when creating an incident. For example "someone" sent an email to our support desk AND to a number of other external recipients. All of the people in the "To" received the acknowledgement of the incident, which of course had nothing to do with them and resulted in more heartache. It has happened on a number of occasions. Can this be set to reply to the sender only? Ant.
Is there a way to switch from technician view to portal view?
I manage SDP for my organization. As part of that, I write training documentation. I have to create test user accounts to log in and show changes, take screen shots, etc. Is there a way, or can I request, a toggle button that will switch a technician over to the service portal (and allow the toggle back)? I think this would be a tremendous help.

Update subject with question answer
Hi, Is it possible to add a question answer to the subject line of a call? For example our new starter process generates a large number of tickets per week. All of the tickets have the subject line as 'New Starter Request' Would it be possible to add a variable to the subject line from a question i.e 'New Starter Request: <Starter Name>' so that it shows in the subject field in the requests views without having to open each ticket or edit it manually? Thanks

Backup Techs Functionality
Hi, We've set up the Scheduler with one Technician on Annual Leave and another as his backup. However, the one on leave still gets tickets to his name regardless of the config applied. I've read other forums stating that it might be related to SLA & DueBy, but i tried multiple scenarios and still get the same result, as if it's not taking effect. I'm using the latest build 9227. Any help? Thx. Khalil S.
IT Asset State Management
We are having 2 branch one in Sydney and second in Melbourne. Sydney office is our main office. From Melbourne office people have asked spare laptops or desktops from Sydney office for 3 months. We have sent assets to them and we have added those in SDP and assigned users as well. Laptop1 used by user1, laptop2 used by user2 and so on. Now after three months they have returned all those devices. At Sydney office we have marked those assets as decommissioned. When we are selecting state as decommissioned

Can Service Desk Plus be configured so that when a request is closed a Resolution has to be input?
Is there a way to configure Service Desk Plus so that closing a request forces a Resolution to be input before saving it? Inquiring minds want to know. Thank you. -Randy Singh-
Timer stat for ticket creation
One of the challenges we have is to determine how long a Help Desk Rep is on a phone call. We wind up having to pull phone logs, then attempt to pair them with the tickets. I really like the new worklog timer feature, but it only works within an already created ticket. A nice feature would be a setting in Admin that allows a timer to record the time a ticket is initially created, to the time it is saved\submitted. The feature would automatically insert that into the worklog. This would allow

Start/Stop SLA timers on response
Hi everyone, Does anyone know of an automatic way to change the state of a request when someone replies? We want to start implementing SLA's, but if they're going to be used as a measure of productivity/responsiveness, we need to be able to stop the SLA timer when a technician replies to the ticket, and start back up when the requester updates it. Otherwise, there can be the scenario where a technician replies to the ticket and the requester does not update the ticket for multiple days. Our low

How to rename approval status "Approved" and "Denied"?
Hello. I'd like to rename status "Approved" and "Denied".
Preventing group notification when ticket submitted is closed
We have email notifications to our technicians because they aren't always in front of the monitors when the requests come in. Often, we will take a ticket by phone and mark it as completed (closed) in the same step. I'd like to prevent a Group notification from going out if the request is added as closed or resolved, as this is an unnecessary alert. Is this possible? If not, may we have a feature request for it? Thanks, Adam
Violation Reason field should be visible after a ticket got SLA violated. How can we enable it?
Hi Experts, Hope you are fine. Many tickets violated every week. Our customer wants report with violation reason but unfortunately there is no field name "Violation Reason" in template. We can create a common text field named "Violation Reason" in every template but it wont be the right one because this field should be visible only in violated tickets not every tickets. so what we want? A mandatory text field named "Violation Reason" should be visible once a ticket got SLA Violated. Can we do this

Updated HTML Remote Control for ServiceDesk Plus
I have been advised that there is an update coming to the Remote Control within ServiceDesk Plus under Feature ID: SDF-63026. Can anyone tell me when this feature due for release? Is the HTML Remote Control the same as the one included with Desktop Central. The one with Desktop Central is absolutely brilliant, compared to the one in ServiceDesk Plus which is very poor. Many thanks Barry
Unalble To Create Requests
Hi, Our test system has stopped working and wont allow the creation of requests (Through Service Catalog, Requests System etc.). When you submit the request it takes you to the normal page but at the very top of the browser (we get the issue in all 3) you simply get a red cross. Checking the source shows the following: This build is an early access for ServiceDesk Plus 8.2. Do not use this for Production environment as migration over this build is not supported.</td>
