Increase SSL security
I know OpManager and ServiceDeskPlus are not subject to Heartbleed. However I'm stuck rekeying everything since we used wildcard certificates. During this I'm looking to improve the SSL security of all of web based systems. Couple of questions: 1) How can i disable weak ciphers? 2) How can we add support for TLS 1.2 (Guessing this may be a limitation of outdated java) 3) How can we enable HTTP Strict Transport Security 4) How can i disable Client Side Renegotiation Thanks for any insight you may
Help with API's XML Success Message
We have a software installation system setup to trigger API input to SD+ when certain events occur. However, we now need to be able to fetch the resulting XML Success Message so we can display the RequestID in our software installation system. We see the XML Success Message, but it doesn't appear to be cached locally by the browser (Internet Explorer). Any suggestions on how we can grab the RequestID from the XML Success Message with javascript or some other code? Thanks! ~Marc
Scheduler: Technicians are not associated to any sites.
We do not have any technicians or support groups associated to our Sites. When we open the Scheduler section the Site default to all sites but the calendar does not show any information. We have to change the Site to "Not associated to any sites" first. Hoping for suggestions or answer to the below. Is there a way to: Change the the default for Site to "Not associated to any sites" Remove "All Sites" from the list in Sites
Association of solutions
SD+ I'm currently trying to associate a solution to a problem. However under problems, I only have the option to add (Not really an option, more a dictation). Kinda pointless as I already have an approved solution. So what the application is asking is for me to add a new solution, even though I already have one. Makes sense? Or is there a setting I've missed? Anyway I can work around this?
Move task between projects?
Hi Is it possible to move tasks between projects? We'd like the ability to use the project manage to also plan weekly work loads, but if a task rolls over, we'd like to roll it into the following week. Likewise we'd like a seperate project for "ideas".
Allow technician to add new product
Hi, Is there a possibility to allow a technician to add a new product when he creates a new purchase order (to be able to view the Add button on the ticket) without having the SDAdmin role assigned? Thank you, Razvan.

Hi. I wonder how to give a technician only Product Type & Product permission without giving him the rest of the admin permissions?

$EmailSignature not working (Found HTML Hack)
When a new request is created a email is send to the user with a signature. But in SD 9018 the "$EmailSignature" is not working anymore.... And so there is not email send. btw. There are still unexplained extra blanc lines when add or editing a Request in SD EDIT 13-10 Today i found by accident a "hack\workaround". In Chrome you have an app called "IE Tab" When i activate that one and edit a reply template i get HTML code:D. So then i am able to do whatever i want.

Reply Not populating To: field and e-mail alerts not working.
Just upgraded to the newest version. When replying to a ticket or a users appended message the To: field is not populating with the user's e-mail like it was before. If you manually enter the To: e-mail it attaches it to the ticket and sends it out. Also e-mail alerts for a new ticket are not being sent out. Admin > Mail Server Settings say they are running.

Value '0' Set to Incident Additional Fields, Causing Request Closing Rules to Fail
We are finding a value '0' is set to some request fields, and this makes the request closing rules to fail. Out of 1000+ requests, only a handful of them seems behaving this way. By looking at the history of the request, the value '0' is given before a user manually assign a value. Our requests are created via web and email, and only emailed requests are affected so far. As far as I know, only three request fields are affected and common to those fields are: 1) Incident Additinal Text Fields having
JSON in Service Desk Plus API
Hi, I am wondering if it is on your roadmap to implement JSON request/response in your API. I have started looking into optimizing the Outlook add-in for Support Center Plus to use JSON to increase performance and i would like to do this as well for the SDP add-in as well.

Requester History Button
We used to have help desk software that had a Requester History tab that we found very useful. It would be a nice feature to add to Service Desk +. When I am viewing a ticket, it shows me Request, Tasks, Resolution, and History tabs. It would be nice to have another tab that shows the Requester History that shows the history of Requests for that Requester. This is a quick and easy way to know the Requester when dealing with the user. I know you could do a search but this would provide a quick

Manual archive tickets
Hi, is it possible to manual archive any tickets? I need to archive tickets that are already settled with the client. The second option is archive tickets with self-defined status for example " settled". Is it possible? I need to block to open/edit all settled tickets. Do you have any other idea? BR Kris
Change from 24 hour option to AM/PM in Change request
I would really like to know if its possible to change the time format for both the scheduled start time and end time from 24 hours to AM/PM setup. I find it time consuming trying to convert the time correctly. If I could just make a blanket switch that would be a huge help for getting my ServiceDesk Plus setup up and running. Is something like this possible?
"Follow" request and reply to notes
I'm a supervisor I monitor all requests in SDP and control all my out-technicians I'd like to follow requests, so all notification, updates, resolves, etc. is also email to me. Also, it'l be a good to have an option to reply in notes. Right now we're using it to control actions of my technicians, I ask them what did they do with this request, or why this request is still not resolved. When they create another note, I didn't notified. So I can forgot to check, were update or not!

Best Upgrade Path
Hello, I'm looking to see what is the best path to get my SDP version to the latest version. We are currently Sitting at 8.1.0 Build 8116. Is there anything major that changes or is there anything i need to be worried about. Also are there any ppm or updates that i can skip over to make this a little quicker. Also I See that Java 6 is still baked inside the tool, Went is Java 7 going to be added to this? Thanks
Requestors able to close/cancel requests
We tend to get a lot of requests that the requestors want to cancel/close (false alarms, etc). How do I configure the requestors to have the ability to close/cancel requests without a technician having to mark the request as resolved first?
Stop Timer Still works for Custom Status?
Hello, I created a new role and took away technician ability to stop the timer or change the due date. When going to the create a new ticket I see that "On Hold" is no longer a option. Which is perfect. Now I created a new status called "Change Request Initiated" iIn Progress with the status timer of stop. But when i lon on as a Technician "On Hold" is still unavailable , but the new "Change Request Initiated" still shows up in the list? should this not be unavailable as well?
Different ways to assign Priority?
It seems that there is one list of Priorities that is shared by all the types of records, tickets, projects, changes, etc. We have settled on using 3 levels of priority for tickets, and really 2 would be fine. But the IT manager would like to have finer-grained settings for things like Projects where there are a couple dozen going on at any one time and using a "low-normal-high" model doesn't work. I created 10 new Priority levels (Project 10, Project 20...Project 100), but it seems kind of odd

Restrict Attachments from Requester
Is there a way to restrict a user's access to attachments? Some of our technicians require the ability to include screen shots and code in a request, however, we do not want a normal user to be able to see this. If there is no way to restrict access to attachments, where else might one include this type of secure information?
is there a way to show certain categories in the service catalog?
I was wondering if categories can be manipulated in order to show some selected categories in the service catalog templates. Can this be done and in what version?
About tasks | scheduled time and marking a member

I'm having a lot of trouble scanning windows 8/8.1 devices. I've completely disabled windows firewall so I know that's not involved. Has anyone else run into this?
Business Rule
I created a status called Assigned. This will tell the technicians and the requestors that the ticket has been assigned to a technician. Is there a way to modify the Status to Assigned automatically, when the request gets changed from unassigned to a technician?

Disable "Switch port" CI creation with network asset scan
Hi, we were wondering if it is possible to disable the creation of a CI for each port on network devices. They are way too many and make the CMDB relationship map too cluttered to be useful. We had the creation of 2700 switch port CI for just 30 devices. We dont need them. It is fine, of course, keeping ports info in the bottom of the switch detail page. We just dont need the CI objects. Thank you
