How to work a ticket? Notes and comments and replies, Oh my.
Howdy, Every Help Desk software I used basically stored any notes, comments, replies, etc in chronological order so you could see everything that was going on with a ticket in the initial view. SDP doesn't seem to do that and I'm not sure how to properly use the system. If a ticket comes in, I may want to type in some notes that I'm working on the ticket and what my next steps are. At some point I will need to send notes back to the user for more information or to have them try something again.
How to convert all SQL data to North American Time Format.
Hi, Is there a way to instruct the SQL Server to convert all SQL data to North American times, so we do not have to do this on every report? Sincerely, Steve T.
Announcement with Subscribe
Announcements can be a convenient way to notify staff through self service of a system outage or major incident. I'd like to see a mechanism where a reference incident ticket and/or Problem can be linked to an announcement that has all the fields completed. If a requester/self service user hits a subscribe link on the Announcement; that reference ticket would be cloned/copied and open a new ticket for that customer automatically. If the Problem ticket is set to close all child incident tickets this

Hi, I'm looking to create reports with the date stamps, but no timestamps, or to at least hide the timestamps in the reports. Putting them in a separate column would work as well.

Automatically assign all tickets to a Support Group?
Hi, We are setting up SDP and will have 2 or 3 support groups (Level 1, Level 2, etc). We only have 1 email address that comes into SDP (ITSUpport@...) and we want all tickets to get assigned to the Level 1 group by default and to have an email go to the Level 1 people when that happens. The only way we want a ticket to go to the Level 2 group is if a Level 1 person manually assigns it to that group in which case we then want the Level 2 group members to get an email. I see things about adding a
ServiceDesk Plus - Update requesters from Active Directory
One thing noticed is that if a requester has previously been imported from Active Directory, once they leave and are removed from AD/the OU they were imported from, they still remain in ServiceDesk Plus regardless of any subsequent syncing. This means that SD Plus can become full of a whole load of redundant users that you otherwise have to manually remove - unless there is a better way to update?

Enabling inbound processing of mail and automatically creating an incident
Good Afternoon, I just wanted to confirm the correct process for receiving tickets via email and having SDP automatically create the incident. As I understand it, we need to: - Configure our mail settings for automatic fetching of email - Create a business rule with an action based on the email contents. Are we missing anything? I ask because completing the above, mail is not getting imported into SDP, and the emails are not being deleted from the mailbox. The fetching process appears to be working

Active Directory Authentication not working.
We have SDP installed and configured. I have it linked to our AD system and it did an import of all the AD users. I can see them under requesters inside of SDP. However, when I try to log into the web interface using a username and password it doesn't work. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but the import worked fine so I'm assuming that means it's talking to AD just fine. I tried with a user as a requester and also tried elevating one to a technician but that didn't help. I can currently

SMS/Email For Requestors (the business)
I have a number of rules for contacting specific technicians when a IT service category has a priority 1 incident created. Those services also have key business stakeholders who want to be notified as soon as there is an issue in the same way; however, only those with technician licenses are identified as people who can receive email/sms notices from a Business Rule. I'd like to request you consider adding the ability to contact via email or SMS specified requestors from the business rules.

Hi there, It appears that the search tool on the left of the request module as welll as the one on the top does not allow or perform any search inside of Request Respons. Real Life Example: Request description: Hi, Please create a new Window user for "James Brown" Reply description: Hi back, new User "jbrown" has been created. If I now search for "jbrown" I will get NO results at all. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is this a bug or a missing feature? Cheers, Per

Associate request conversations with Solution.
When creating a solution from a request ticket, we would like the ability to associate the converations within the request so we can define the context of the solution. What we are currently doing is copying and pasting the information into the resolution or just referring to the request id. I did notice there is an enhancement request for a solutions template that would help as well. Is there a timetable on that enhancement SDF-26350?
How to install a private SSL certificate
Hi there everyone! Over the past year or so, I've seen a lot of discussion dealing with getting third-party SSL certificates to work in ServiceDesk. Within that discussion, many of you have had a terrible time getting it to work properly, and some I don't think ever got it to work at all. I myself didn't have the need to mess with it, so I've never investigated the problem. However, that has now changed. I believe part of the problem is that you are expected to either use the certificate generated

Local authentication not working after enabling AD authentication
Hi, We have been successfully using SD Plus for several months with local authentication, and now we have everything ready to switch to AD authentication. The requesters are populated from AD, however we want technicians to use local authentication. The problem is - when we enable AD authentication the requesters can successfully login, but when technicians try to login with their local accounts - they cannot do it. I have checked the setting "Allow local authentication" in ServiceDesk Plus General
