Problem with Title Field from Incident Template
When I create an incident template, I have problems with the title field. When I save a template, the title field disappears and the subject field is not displayed correctly as shown in the screen shot. I cannot remove the title field without messing up the way the fields are displayed. It's very odd.

Business Rules - Not being applied to web form requests
We have an issue whereby a business rule is not being applied to requests created through the web portal. The rule we have states that when a specific category is selected that the request is assigned to a particular group. This does not work. We have a number of other rules which perform this action however these are all based on the subject and are all from requests created by email. When we test these particlar rules via the webform they also don't work. Anyone got and ideas? Thanks #helpthehelpdesk

AD authentication issue
Hi All ! We have an issue with AD authentication with some accounts. During entering login name on the logon screen, our domain name just disappears from the list.

Thank you in advance Nikolay
Automatic ticket pickup?
Don't know if this has been asked before, but it is possible to make SDP automatically pickup an unassigned ticket if a technician takes an action on it? Adds a note, replies to it, adds a resolution, etc? A dialog asking you if you want to take the ticket if it's assigned to someone else would be nice too. It's a pain when you forget to pickup a ticket, add a resolution, set to Resolved, and it just throws back that it can't do it because Technician isn't assigned and you then have to assign to
Formatting text in Solutions
Does anyone have any wonderful ideas for formatting text in Solutions? I am finding the text editor incredibly troublesome and unreliable. For example: Bulleted and numbered lists do not indent properly. Paragraph spacing is unreliable (extra spaces are often added when I save a topic). No ability to set the paragraph spacing. No ability to use tables. No ability to use styles. Sometimes when I come back to a topic created previously, all formatting has gone wonky, text being cut off the left, etc.

Report on Resolver And Closer
Hi, Is there a way of reporting who changed the status of a request to resolved and closed rather than just who it was assigned to at the time of resolving and closing? I know you can report on who created it. I want to be able to have requests assigned to a "supplier" technician but still report on which of my actual technicians owned the call through resolution and closure. Question to other users, what do you do with supplier calls? Thanks
Create incidents from SAP that contain every runtime information your support people will need
Hi, There is an add-on for SAP systems called STA Ticket System that can integrate SAP with ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus. End-users can create incidents in the SAP UI and the program will create an incident in ME SDP. It also adds all relevant information (system, program, user, authorization etc. data and a screenshot optionally) to the incident. This is an invaluable help for the support people because it allows them to immediately start working on the problem without having to clarify missing
Server, workstation CI fields
Hi, We've just started using SD PLus with the CMDB option. The server and workstation asset type have a field model and product name.

Business Rules by Time Created
We are looking to manipulate new Requests by time of day. I do see there is an option for Operational Hours. However, those options are only "Anytime", "Within Operational Hours" or "Outside Operational Hours". Essentially if you want a time split, you really only have 2 time periods. "Within..." and "Outside...". What we want to do is manipulate requests based on what time they are created but more than 2 periods. For example: Rule #1: 00:00 -> 08:00; Categorize X and Move to Group IT1. Rule #2:

Deleting Product Type - Failure: Product type is being used by a module. Hence cannot delete it
Hi all, We're just setting up an installation of SD+ for the first time and have hit a problem configuring the asset management part.

SLA Bug in Service Desk Catalog
I've just found a bug regarding SLAs specifically in requests created through the Service Catalog Templates. First, it seemed as though the SLAs didn't work at all with requests created in the Service Catalog. When I created a test request, the Priority would set properly based on the Urgency and Impact because of the Priority Matrix. Please see this screenshot: Notice that the Urgency, Impact, and Priority are set, yet the DueBy Date is not setting. Here is also proof that I have the SLA set
