Can not delete a priority
I'm using SD plus 9.1 build 9107 and under 'Admin/priority' I have a list of priorities and I want to delete one of them that we no longer use. I can select it and click on delete and it says it was deleted successfully but it remains in the list continually. What can I do to permanently remove an unwanted priority? John
Variables to pass to Custom Trigger
I have created a custom Trigger that i would like to pass the $RequesterMail variable to but it's not working. I notice that when i pass the $Requester variable it needs to be in all caps ($REQUESTER) or it will not pass, so i tried using $REQUESTERMAIL but that results in the scrip receiving "User NameMAIL" instead. Is there a list of variables that can be passed to custom triggers and if they are case sensitive what case they need to be in?

Technician Able to View the Requester's '"To" and "Cc" Fields
Hi We have approximately 200 users who submit their helpdesk requests by email only. This works fine most of the time, except when the requester includes or cc's other individual staff or a group mailing list. In some instances, individual email addresses are invalid because that person has left but the requester may not be aware. Also, when the requester includes a group mailing list, technicians are unable to close the request because they are not part of that particular mailing list. Is

Save button template does not work in requeter view
While trying to set a template in the requester view and while trying to save the changes the save button does not work, I wonder if there are ways to fix it.
URL and alias causing issues in SDP
Folks, Early on in our support process we named our server MEDS01. Then, we had an alias called helpdesk. We wanted to change this to servicedesk and realized that the pass-through authentication had never worked with the alias in the first place. Now, we can get pass-thru authentication to work using the server name http://MEDS01, but we can with the alias. Unfortunately, we now have links that sometimes go out as the alias and sometimes as the servername. The alias always fails. We can
Question about Scanned Softwares
Hi, The servicedesk plus have a option in Software Topics that have all scanned softwares in computer. My question is about the software licensing. Please follow the situation: This software "7-zip 9.20 (x64 edition)" is classified as Freeware but it's reported like Under Licensed. Question: 1) All softwares must have the license registered in "Software Licenses tab"?

could you please explain how to manage pdf files on manage engine ?
I just want to insert a pdf link to a subfolder which is created in solution segment. The pdf file has 110 pages and in my case i want it to be opened on the browser with specific pages. For example, the related topic is only on pages 40 and 41. When i insert the link to the contest, it does not show off with pages 40 and 41.

Bug - editing notes with content in <tags> removes ALL content within the tags
Hi, We have Service Desk Plus v9 build 9040, and make extensive use of the Note feature for internal Technician discussion. (usually extracts from our own log files) If you create a Note with content in < > tags (which comes from our own logs), and save it - it's fine. If you then try to edit the same Note - all of the content within the < > tags disappears completely. See the attached image as an example. Please advise, as this is a reasonably significant flaw in the system.
blocking recipients
I'm wondering what others do for this issue: We've tried to train our users to send requests to our service desk via email (and only to the service desk), but what ultimately happens is that they send a request to the service desk and then cc or includ in the to: field 100 of their closest friends and half our development team. Then those friends and developers all start replying and before we know it we have 20 people working on the same issue and a ticket that is filled with volumes of email updates.
Linked Incident Request Control
Currently when you link multiple tickets all pertaining to the same root issue, you can add a resolution to the main incident and SDP gives you the option to apply that resolution to all of the linked incidents. The problem is that when you select the drop down to update the status of the ticket to "resolved" it only changes the current ticket you are viewing and does not update the status of the other linked incidents, so you still have to manually view each of the linked incidents and change their

I Can't find Service Catalog templates in the Admin view
Hi, After having created service catalog templates they have all disappeared from Admin>Service Catalog page meaning that I can't work any more on them even though the requesters can see and use them. That happened always when I associate support group to the template. I am working on release 9107 Please advice me on what to do to fix the problem or to implement a viable workaround which still allow the use of the very useful feature like "support group"? Best Regards Antonio
Email the Technician leaves no trace
Good morning, I don't know if this is an issue or just how the system is designed, but... When I am in the request detail view, if I click on Reply and then select Email the Technician, I can send an email to the technician assigned the request. However, after sending, I do not see any record of that email; it does not appear in the conversations, and there is not record of it being sent in the History. Is this normal? Diana

Purchasing using PO System - Real World Use
Here's a newbie question, folks, We're just starting to use the Purchase Order module. We request a quote (let's say this is for a server), and we get our list of the 60 components with their itemized pricing. We then have to make a PO. Do people just make a product with a "build name" and give it one cost or do people actually break down the components individually? Also, once I receive it, the system will scan this into corresponding components anyway, correct? We don't really have any

Auto-populate request field with IP / PC name?
Is it possible to add a field to requests generated by our users that would auto-populate with the user's IP address or Computer Name? It would make life so much easier for our technicians when users forget to fill out the templates fully.
Multiple Installations on same server?
Hi there, We currently use SDP for our tech department help desk and are loving it. We would like to setup another installation of SDP for our maintenance department. They would have a fundamentally different ticket system, layout & setup, but from what I can tell, SDP would still work perfectly for them. My question is whether or not we can have to separate installations of SDP on the same server? Obviously they would be installed in separate folders and have separate licenses, but would there

Merging Sites

I was hoping to get some sort of update on this as it has been an issue since before April (Build 9030) and still hasn't been fixed. Would be nice to be able to add our IP Phones to ServiceDesk but we still are unable to do this. An update or fix would be nice.

Technicians log in as requesters
Hi All, We currently have an installation of ServiceDesk Plus. In which we have SingleSign on enabled with a single public domain. Since we upgraded to 9108 we have had an issue that some of our Technicians get logged into as a requester.

The accounts with these issues are full SSDP Admins and have full admin

How can i configure manageengine to recognize a mail being replied and get the information into the existing ticket??? BR
