Add "Contract Type" as a field for reporting
I don't understand why Contract Type is not available as a Field in the chooser or as a filter when running contract reports. It is a standard "out of the box" field from Service Desk. Without that option, I get repeated requests from the Contracts team requiring me to run custom query reports. Is it a feature on the Roadmap?

Ability to filter categories based on company email address
Hi We are upgrading to ServiceDesk and are part of three sister companies. As each company will have a unique list of categories when logging incidents I was wondering if it is possible to only display the categories that are relevant to that company.

Issue with Outoging Email
Hi, We're using Office365 and Windows Server 2012 R2 Based on suggestions I found here, I've configured Outgoing Email using: SMTP, Port 587 and TLS enabled (I've also tried varying combinations of these, restarting server each time). I'm still getting an error, "Sending Notification Failed" Login/password works fine as it's being used for Incoming Email, which also works. I've also tested Server via Telnet session and it can communicate with smtp.office365.com Not sure what else to do but I'm stuck
PO Module>Function to Receive Invoices
Add Invoice As designed, the Add Invoice action allows one to record the Invoice ID, Received Date, Due Date, Comments, notification to a technician. Invoice Received As desgined, the Invoice Received action allows one to send a notification and move the PO status to Invoice Received. Often, we'll have one invoice per PO, and it would be great to have the option to perform both in one step: Record and attach the invoice and change the status to Invoice Received. It doesn't sound like much, but shaving
Technical staff loses access as technician
Hi, We have some customer facing this issue, their SDP build number is at least 9218 and using MSSQL as DB. Issue: Technical staff loses access as technician because SDP imports them like requesters automatically from the AD. Workaround: Have to delete the imported requester account and within the admin/technician page assign the correct login domain again to the tech. This is constantly happening in two different customers for a month or so approximately. Waiting for your response, thanks. José

Does anyone have a script, function, or way to approve POs via an email?
Folks, The Chief Officers of our company would like to be able to approve emails by sending an email? They get the PO with the link, but many times they are on the road and not within our domain, and so the link doesn't work. Any creative thoughts on how I might be able to accomplish this? They would rather reply to the email than have to <click> on the link and push the button. -Adam
Comm.do download in chrome only on every SDP page.
Hi all, I posted on the back of one of the release entries but fear it may have been lost in the shuffle. Since 9221 and above whenever we access SDP in chrome it tries to download commFrame.do on every page refresh. So you go to a new tab, one downloads, open a request, one downloads and so on. Basically every time you click on a page it downloads one of these files. If you access it in IE it does not do this. IT appears to only be chrome related. I have tried it on multiple machines and done

Showing entire resource block based on field value?
Is it possible to hide or show a group of resources (the entire resource block) based on the value in a field or resource field? For example, my new employee onboarding form has options grouped as resources (e.g., all of the Exchange options are together: Lync Setup? Email Encryption Setup? etc.) Can I display or hide the resource group that those resources are listed in so I don't have to show or hide 10 fields in the field and forms rules? Thanks, Adam
Technician cannot view requests originated by self.
I am defined as a technician in our ServiceDesk installation at Claire's. In addition to receiving tickets that have been sent to me, I also originate my own requests. The issue I am having is that I am unable to view all the tickets that I originated. I am told by our technical services department that a technician is not able to view a list of the tickets they originated. Is this a fact, or is there something that we are not understanding, or perhaps an alternate logon as a requester? Please advise.
How to stop duplicate tickets being created?
We have a problem with duplicate ticket creation, there should be a way to set Service Desk so that if a ticket comes in with the same subject and from the same person of already open ticket that it wont create a new one. In fact, we are facing a trouble that we tried to create a request ticket via email as a test. When the requester sent a email to email address of ServiceDesk plus, the ticket would be created automatically, but, the same ticket was constantly being created and now the tickets
Request/Task Workflows Questions
Just had a few questions regarding Request workflows and Tasks. Is there currently any way to or any potential in the near future to have Tasks submitted for Approval? Is there any to spawn a new Request based on criteria from a previously opened Request? I.E. - I open Request A to request access to an internal system. Then Request B is automatically launched once Request A is submitted. Is there anyway to have the pre-built tasks (from the Work Flow) editor unchecked when opening a new Request?
Updating the "Site" on tickets, and question about doing the same for "Region"
We do a lot of reporting based on site and region, and we are exceptionally pleased about the integration with AnalyticsPlus (on-premise). The data produced is only as good as the data we have, however. We have a number of users that have come into the SDP database with an erronous site. We clean this up, but any tickets created prior to the correction still have the erronous site. Question 1 Is there a fast way to clean these up using a script or process? (Right now we are searching for all the
Change status from HOLD to OPEN when a new conversation item is added
Hello, Is there any way through business rules or incident template rule to change a request's status from Hold to Open if a new conversation item is received? I am considering having Technicians set a request to On Hold when they send a reply that requires a response from the requester. I would like the request's status to change to Open once the reply is received, that would be wonderful. If another trigger is required to make the status change from Hold to Open I would be interested in my option.

How to restrict particular Assets for a few technicians ?
My organization does not have a dedicated team for all assets. There is a different team that looks after Routers and Switches and a different one that looks after Workstations and Printers. The Assets tab must be available to both teams however I want the first team to be able to look at only the Routers and Switches and work on them and the second team to be able to only look and work with the Workstations and Printers. Currently i can only find a comprehensive option of either enabling or disabling
Auto Reply for Specific Incident Templates
Hi, Is there a way to create an auto reply only for certain incident template? I found the way to create auto reply for when user send request and when the request is closed. But I'm wondering if there is a way to create an auto reply only for certain template. For example if I have template A and template B, when a user send request using template A, it will reply "thank you for contacting us" and when user send a request using template B, it will reply "we will contact you immediately regarding

Dynamic workflow in SDP
Hi, Wondering if this is achievable: I would like to have a request form/template that directs the workflow to different approvers depending upon contents of a field. I thought I could start with a request template in the service catalog, which has a business rule run that changes the template to the desired (identical) template, but with workflow added to it. The problem is, when I select the 'change to template' option, only request templates without workflow show. Also, I can't see how I can
Configurable/Designable Job Sheet
Hi, We work in an environment where at certain points of the year we can have up to 80 people drop on us in a support team of just 4 in the space of a morning.

I'm trying to work out if there is a way to create/design a job sheet that we can easily print out so we can have the job sheet with all our equipment

Also, is there a way to see and edit the query behind the custom view itself. Thanks.
team member not visible as a Technician in maintenance (nor as a requester)
HI, I have a technician who is not visible in "Technicians", nor in "Requesters". He is visible as a Technician in the drop down list for some call types - however in the database there are three entries for him - 2 with a zero technician ID and one with a valid technician ID. I'd like to clear the issue completely and add him as a technician - ideally via an Active Directory import as a requestor, then updating him to be a technician....

ServiceDesk Plus stopped working after low disk space condition on server
Our ServiceDesk Plus server had a low disk space issue this morning. After deleting some old backup files, and removing unnecessary installers, I was able to recover 40GB of free space; however, ServiceDesk Plus still failed to work. I reviewed similar cases in the Forum, and tried to start the service using run.bat, to no avail. While reviewing the log file, serverout0, I noted the error, java.io.EOFException What does this mean? Is this the reason for the failure? I attached serverout0.txt for

RE blank login page after changing port
I submitted a post earlier about the login page showing blank after adding a cert and changing the port. Anyway, it was my fault as I was testing in a browser on the server which was too restrictive. There are no issues for us and it is working great with ssl. I thought I would be able to edit/reply or maybe delete the original post, but I guess it's waiting to be approved. It does not need to be approved or posted since this is a non-issue. Thanks.

reopen requests by email not from requester
Hello, I have a problem with requests not being opened by incoming emails which are not sent from the requester itself. I have two different HelpDesk installations/configurations. In one (9.2 Build 9211) requests are opened independent of the sender address: In the other (9.2 Build 9218) requests are only opened if the sender address equals the requester: Is there another configuration option to enable the possibility of everyone being able to reopen a request?
