set surveys based on groups
It would be great if surveys could be configured based on groups. We have multiple groups in the organization using Service Desk Plus and we'd like to use the survey feature. However, each group has different needs and some wouldn't even need surveys sent out. Right now I can only turn surveys on or off and they apply to the entire organization. I know I can set them to only be sent to ever certain number of requests or requests per person. Being able to set them based on group would be much more
Auto Close without email to requester
Hey everyone! I work for a smaller company with several small spread out locations, and my boss and I are looking to fully implement service desk plus here in the near future. Initially we don't plan on sending out surveys or emails to users asking them to finalize and close the tickets once we put it in the resolved state. We have found the settings to not email or survey the users when we finalize or close a ticket as well as the setting to auto close tickets set to resolved after X amount of days.
New Incident - standard usage
How do people typically log a standard support ticket when taking a phone call? I'm not used to the workflow in SDP (but I'm getting there), however I want to use it to the fullest. I've really come to appreciate its rich feature set. Here's my scenario: I oversee a number of service desks. We take requests in a call center, and we don't have a front-line dispatch, so technicians will start working an incident right when it comes in. Do you complete a new request, filling in as much as you
Managing cell phones, air cards and SIM cards
I'm looking to come up with a good way to managing our army of air cards and cell phones. They're mostly AT&T which have a SIM and a device whereas the Sprint and Verizon devices have no SIM. I was thinking of making an asset for SIM's and making fields for the phone and SIM # in it. Then I could create an asset for the phone or air card and somehow associating a SIM with a device. Is this a possibility? How are you guys handling this?
default Templates and requestors using the workflow functionality
Hi Guys, I am trialing your product and thought I would suggest an improvement in relation to templates and requestors. In a larger organization, it is quite probably that many new user templates are required to cater for variations across an organization i.e. to cater for different teams being members of different groups. Arguably you could have a template for each job role in an organization. A problem I have is, is if I log on as a manager, lets say for the finance department, by default when

Incident Templates Changing Resolution after 9040 Upgrade
Hi, We upgraded from 9022 to 9040 yesterday, and we have found an issue, where if an Incident Template is used on an existing request (or manually adding a new request) it's adding a "blank resolution" to the request. This didn't do this before the version upgrade. This is allowing tech's to close the requests without putting in a proper resolution. I've been through all the templates, and all the resolution fields are empty, no spaces etc. I've also re saved all the indicant templates too. I created
Need to have site-specific support groups that mean that pick list of technicians is appropriate
We need (and cannot be the only ones) to be able to define tasks for different groups that are site-specific.

Add New Announcement - Can't Type in Box
We just upgraded to build 9040 and one of our technicians noticed that they can't type in the "Announcement Content" box when creating a new announcement (from the "Home" tab). It will work, however, if you click on the "plain text" option. If you type in a title, then press Tab to go to the text box, it does appear to let you type but the new text is being inserted after the menu bar instead of below it. Using Firefox 31.6.0 ESR.

Purchase Order - Order Number
I would like a place to store the Order Number, We could do this as a UDF, but there maybe multiple order numbers per purchase order, and would be good to track that through. Then when the Invoice comes in, we should be able to tie that back to the order number (I have many vendors who invoice on each "order", so I get multiple invoices / order). Also when adding invoices, there should be an "Invoice Amount" again, as we can have multiple invoices/order.

Thanks in advance, we are migration to a new server. We are on version 9 build 9000 the database is MySQL. On the new server the installer doesn't have MySql as a choice.

Attach Packing List to PO
While we can do this on the actual PO itself, it would be nice to have this separate feature as part of the Receive items. Also there should be a way I could delegate this permission (receive items and attaching the document) without giving tech's full access to the purchase order.
Need a way to run a report that shows time a ticket was with a specific group.
Need a way to run a report that shows time a ticket was with a specific group. My build is: 9.0 Build 9039 So they way our team works is that Tier 1 gets the initial request and then they may escalate to Tier 2, then it may go a step further and get escalated to tier 3. I would like a report that shows how long tickets were in each stage. I know it tracks it in the history of an individual ticket, but I can't seem to run a report that would show me this information in an aggregate way for all tickets.

If I have the old server named Helpdesk and the new server called support desk, do I just add the name of the old server to redirect clients?

Problem adding Cost Center in IE
Hello, I've noticed a small quirk when adding a new cost centre, using Internet Explorer, just for one technician (the main user of our purchase module).
