Assess Assets with new ServiceDesk Plus Custom Scripts feature
We had an interesting discussion with a client recently. They were looking to improve the efficiency of the first interaction on a request for a technician in diagnosing potential user issues. One method they perform is a basic connectivity check to the users workstation to eliminate the obvious fault and they wondered if it might be possible to provide this as a button in the GUI for technicians to select. Given ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus has recently introduced custom menu options we thought
problem with REST api
I’m unable to receive the xml data from my rest POST. Here is my URL: http://sdpserver/sdpapi/request/100217/?TECHNICIAN_KEY=9E467594-02CD-490F-9729-CF35E9A411D5&OPERATION_NAME=GET_REQUEST When I type my URL directly in my browser (Chrome) I get the xml result; no problem. To make sure that it is not my code that is faulty, I have saved the xml output to an xml file replaced my request from POST to GET and my URL for my xml file and I’m able to retrieve my data and display it. When I look inside
Technicians tab is taking too long to open
Hello, We installed ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus 3 years ago and everything went well until three months ago we faced a crash for the software and the backup didn't go well as we expected, but we were lucky to have an SQL Guru who manage to rebuild the system from the SQL it self, but after a while we noticed that when we want to edit, add or delete any technician it will take long long long time to open the technicians tab. we use to have 75 technicians and recently we increased the number to 85.
Initial Administrator password incorrect
Hi, I have just installed ServiceDesk Plus to try before we buy (we are looking to move from another product to something better) but after install I cannot log in using the default administrator password shown on the site (username: administrator, password: administrator) - I get the error "Username or Password is Incorrect X". I have not set anything as the admin password during setup. The same is true for the "Guest" account (username: Guest, Password: guest"). Is this a known issue? I've searched
Description Field - Start At/Scroll to Top
We ask a series of questions in the Description field to requesters on the self service form; however on the cursor always appears at the last line of text. Is there a way to have the cursor start at the top instead of at the bottom? Often requesters don't know there are additional questions/text that are towards the top of the field and they don't scroll up to see them.

MSPSDP-3388?
Greetings, I'm new to ServiceDesk Plus and I'm having a problem that many others have had; trying to hide the default request template. According to documentation that I've found, MSPSDP-3388 gives us the option to "disable the default request template for requesters." Then, at http://www.manageengine.com/products/service-desk/faq-admin-modules.html, I found the following instructions...but the "Disable default request template for requesters" setting is not there. Can anyone help? Thanks, Tom Preston
Fix app icon function
How do you repair the icons? At this point the icons do nothing, but sit there. Clicking on them opens an admin prompt window and then nothing. I have to go through the command prompt to get the app to launch.

To CMDB or not to CMDB in ServiceDesk Plus?
We generally find that clients struggle to get to grips with the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) module in the Enterprise Edition of ServiceDesk Plus, often finding it 'a bridge to far' in their estimation. Whilst it's true you need to have a relatively clear idea of what you want to achieve with the CMDB long term there are some great short-term benefits to using the module. Take, for example, the issue of recording mobile phone assets. Now there are two potential areas this data can be
No group assigned when "Pick up" or "Assign to:" are used in Request module
In my testing it seems that when the Pick Up button or the Assign to: drop down list are used to quickly assign a ticket in the Request module, that no Group is assigned. Am I overlooking a setting? Is this a feature I can request? I know that a Technician can be in multiple groups, so it would be useful to be able to be presented with a choice in those cases. Thanks! Don Conley

Option for technicians to mark tickets that they are currently working on.
Hi Users, We are planning to implement a feature for technician to mark the ticket he/she is currently working on.

Multiple technicians can work on the ticket and can mark as started by clicking 'Start' Link. Work log can also be added automatically on clicking the 'Stop' link.

Send approval after task X closed
Hello. Maybe you can add to SDP possibility to send approval after parent task switched to closed? Or maybe you can add special task to sending approval to specified person? Or when field X = Y -> send approval Task 1 -> special task (send approval & close task) -> Task 2
Pending Requests + Pending Tasks in one screen?
Is there a way for a technician to see both their own pending tasks as well as their own pending requests in the same screen? I imagine a customer filter would do this, but I don't see anything labeled for Tasks in there.
Asset icons inconsistent
We have Desktop Central and ServiceDesk Plus linked together. We are seeing that some computers have the Windows icon, while other have the computer icon. After further investigation, it looks like the Windows icon have "Microsoft Windows 7 Enterprise" listed while the computer icons have "microsoft windows 7 Enterprise" listed in the OS field of the respective Asset. Somehow it is bringing the OS with all lower case therefor, not recognizing the OS appropriately. Again, both assets are brought
API: How to get technician key using REST?
I'm creating a mobile app to manage the assets and was using Servlet API, however since its discontinued I'm moving over to REST. The issue I am having is trying to get the Technician Key to use the API without making the technician's find it and enter it. How do I get the technician key through REST automatically based on the entered username and password? I'm assuming this can be done since the iOS app does it.

Request Resolutions - Not Sending Email
Since updating to 9.1 Build 9107, ServiceDesk is not sending an email to the requester as configured when resolving a request. The resolution itself is also not added to the conversation list as it did in the past - even with the "All Conversations" option selected; however, the resolution is saved to the request under the "Resolution" tab as expected. I've tried unchecking/re-checking the notification options and restarting the server as that was mentioned in a post with a similar issue. Unfortunately,
Requests could not be found under My Groups
Hello, My question is why the requests could not be found in the groups of My Groups. For example,I'm assigned to the Support Group "SAP Department" (hence, the group with this name could be found in the request filter list). I could have the listing of request in the groups which are provided by SDP. But there's nothing in the group of SAP Department. Refer to the screenshot. Would you let me know how to solve it or what I'm missing? The version of our SDP is 9.1 Build 9107. Thanks Oliver

I have deleted it from each of the individual sites from the 'Support group for XXX' dropdown menu, however when i try to delete it from the Default Settings menu it gives me an error stating that 'Groups cannot be deleted', and the group still shows up when creating new incidents. Is there any way to delete this so that it does not show up when creating incidents? thanks
Who in your company runs your Service desk plus ticket system?
I am trying to see if anyone else spends as much time in SDP and the other ManageEngine products as I do. Keep in mind we have 12 departments that use SDP. I create all the ticket templates and train everyone to use the system as more departments use the ticket system. I have asked other people i know and i believe they use basic ticket systems place a ticket complete a ticket. We have SLA's data to collect and reports to make.

New request errors after 9107 update
When a requester clicks add request they get an error "Please provide numeric value for the field." Testing on a template, it appears to only occur if there is a numeric filed defined on the technician tab, but is not on the requester tab. A similar error occurs with a Date/Time field, but instead of an error, just a red "x" appears without error at the top, no request is created. Updated: The Date error shows up in the log: ...

Auto-Completion of Requester doesn't work properly
Hi, we're using ServiceDesk Plus 9.0/9041 and have some trouble with the auto-completion of the requester while opening up a new incident. We synchronize our users from an Active-Directory. Most of the user-objects are working fine. We select the name an additional information, such as e-mail, department or site will be filled in automatic. With some users, it seems all users from one specific department, the auto-completion fails and the incident is opend up with the name of the requester only.
