Saving signature
Since once of the latest updates our signatures disappeared when we replied on calls. I have solved this problem by editing the reply template. Now I am trying to change my signature because the information in it is incorrect. Whenever I save my signature, it will refresh the screen and my old signature appears. I was able to add an character, but a complete change would not be saved. First, the error during saving was that NTLM authentication was failed. This isn't right, because i am logged in

Hi, I was looking at service desk plus and under the mail server settings exist an incoming tab that has the following: Mail Fetching status: stopped so I clicked start fetching and it is now fetching. I sent an email to the incoming email address but do not see an email notification that I received an email. I see the following: During mail fetching, ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus will delete e-mail messages for the mail account in the mail server. Hence create a separate mail account and alias
Task enhancements
Hi there, We would like the following enhancements with tasks. 1° To be able to create custom views for the task overview (similar to the request overview) In our company, a lot of technicians are member of different support groups. Therefore we would like an option to filter the task overview per group. 2° To be able to predefine the times in the task template For certain service requests, we know upfront how much time each task will take. Therefore we would like to be able to pre-populate
Business Rules - based on a change of value
It would be useful in the Business Rule section to be able to define a rule based upon a value changing when a call is saved. For example, once the ability to automatically create an email is added to ServiceDesk Plus (I understand that this is a scheduled change), we would love to be able to automatically generate an email to a customer if, say, the priority of the call is changed.

Asset Management
I have 24 software items that show up in "Under Licensed” yet I have the number Purchased equaling the number installed. The Icon shows green as compliant so I do not know why it is on this list. I also have one software that is over licensed on the under licensed list. The pie graph shows the under licensed section as well. I am going through an asset audit next week and this will really hurt my numbers. Any ideas? I am on Service Desk Plus 8.2.0 Build 8206

Hello; Some advice from users would be much appreciated. We act as a support team for multiple small businesses (in the health sector). These sites have transient users. These users don't have an active directory listing with us.

How can we be handling our 'sites' like this with SDP? The system seems to be

SLA practices what do you do?
We are looking to set up our SLA's but it only has two criteria replied or resolved. What about assigned? If I assign it to someone but not resolved in 2 hours it should be escalated but I don't need to reply. SLA for say a windows password reset. our SLA is resolved within 10 minutes lets say. If I pick up a ticket and call the user to resolve their issue but the SLA says it should be resolved in 10 minutes it will get escalated/alerted while i'm on the phone with them. What does everyone else

Approvals text
When a comment is added to an approval, it is difficult to read those comments. If I hover the mosue over the comment, it is displayed in a tool tip type of window but only for a few seconds. I suggest that you allow techs to click on the comment to pop up a window that contains the text entered by the approver. The tech should then have to manuall close the box rather than have it automatically disappear after a few seconds. Need to provide a "More information required" option that sends the text
More Simple and Effective Tips for the Self-Service Portal in ServiceDesk Plus - Service Catalogue
Taken from our Blog page - http://set3manageengineuk.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/more-simple-and-effective-tips-for-self.html This one came up the other day when I was doing some work on the Self-Service Portal with a client. We were creating Service Categories and Service Templates as part of the main ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus Service Catalogue which bore no relation to IT e.g. booking travel, hotels, taxis and requests for catering and the like. Now I followed the usual exercise of using meaningful terms
Known Error Database (KEDB) - NOT SOLUTIONS
As part of the problem management module it would be nice to have a list of know errors and workaround. While this can be implemented as a "solution type" the fact that incidents cannot be related to to a solution means there is no ability to see the effect of the known error on the service. Requirements: It should have custom fields for the client to create their own data types against the record (the status of the error, severity, system etc) It should be able to be linked to a Request - i.e.

RMA'S
I have some bad monitors that are going to be hot swaped by the vendor. I need to track the vendor's case number for the swap, the old serial number (to remove from inventory) and the new serial number (to add to inventory). My thought is that this is all one record as the replacement monitor will expire from warranty in the same time the original was to expire. And if we need to verify either serial number a search should show us that the two serials are related. I'm not sure how to accomplish this.
Active Directory Manager Attribute
I have Active Directory Authentication active and have been importing my users. I recently created an Additional field in Manage Engine called "Supervisor" and want to map it to the Active Directory Attribute Manager. When I go to Import Active Directory User, I select the "Supervisor" check bock and in the mapped field I type "manager" (According to Microsoft, this is the attribute name). However, when I do an import, I do not see the Supervisor's name. The field is still blank.
