hello i would like to know if i can assign for each item in the category/subcategory a cost cause work log can't give the exact cost for the work done by a technician, for example if a fix needs 30 minute and the technician takes 2 hours he will be affecting work in a negative way while his work log will show good results. hope i was clear.

Feature Request: Increase the size of the Notes window on Requests module
On the Requests module, I have enabled the Notes column so we can easily see which requests have notes. When you click the icon, it opens a small window with all the notes. The window is too small and makes viewing a ticket with lots of notes a little cumbersome. Also, any line breaks that were entered in the notes are not enabled--all the lines just run together in one lump piece of text. When viewing notes where the user entered some steps to follow, it makes identifying the steps incredibly difficult.
bulk attachment
Hi there, This might be useful: allow bulk attachment when attaching documents to assets. this will save us some time if we need to attach several documents to a single asset at once.
Allow technicians to link requests to Projects
It would be great if technicians could link existing requests to specific projects under the project tab. This will allow PMs and service delivery managers to quickly identify all pending requests for a specific projects. In ITIL, a request for service should be tracked as a service request and not necessarily a task. Tasks are great but when a task is assigned to a technician from a different team or a different part of the organization, it should a request and not a task since PMs can't necessarily

Hi, I wish to be able to import requesters via CSV on a schedule. I've set the option CSVUserImportSchedule to 'true' in the GlobalConfig table, as per the information in this thread, https://forums.manageengine.com/topic/scheduled-import, but the Schedule CSV option is not showing anywhere under the Admin panel.

Reply form doesn't expand the Description box vertically
Hi there, When replying to a request (both on requester and technician view), the "Description" box is very narrow. When I maximized the window, it does expand horizontally, but not vertically. This narrow view is very inconvenient, especially when inserting some screenshots and need to constantly scroll up/down and the added image can only be viewed halfway due to the narrow field. (full image still visible after posting, not during composing) Is this a known issue?
Bulk closure of Incident Requests
Hi, We have in excess of 5,000 incident requests that are sitting in a 'Resolved' status as opposed to being closed.

Can associated tasks also be closed? https://forums.manageengine.com/topic/closing-multiple-requests-without-notification Thank you.

No new tickets even though fetching is running
Our ServiceDesk Plus stopped receiving new requests since this morning.

Bulk update "Requester allowed to view" value
Hello, I need to set the value of "Requester allowed to view" to "Show All Their Site Requests" across every single requestor we have. Approximately 550. Ideally I could just run an update of the database to set this rather than having to set this manually or write a script to automate the clicks it takes to get this set. Any information you can provide would be appreciated! Thanks!
