Ability to hide categories from users
Ability to hide categories from users I noticed that a couple of people have requested this in previous posts and wondered whether any more thought was given to this. We're using Version 7.5.0 Build 7507 and it doesn't look like it's been included. This is really a feature that would be of great interest to us. Thanks Stef
Expanding mailserver options
Woud it be possible to have some enhancements added to the MailServer configuration. At the moment the system will attempt to create a request/incident for all emails, unless SPAM management is configured, but even then the restriction means that it will get deleted rather than left alone. For organisations that would like to create transparency and have just one email box that is shared by SD+ and an ICT Department, it makes it very difficult with the present options. Maybe expand the SPAM

Additional Field Question for 3rd line in order to report back on
Hi, I need to implement a drop down box to monitor the quality of incidents we escalate from the service desk to 3rd line support. Often 3rd line get given incidents which they feel the service desk is able to resolve themselves....however I want to create a drop down box for them to note this down. Such as the example: of having 2 options "SD Able to FIX" OR " SD Not Able to Fix" However, I managed to create this drop down, but cannot seem to integrate it as an optional field that 3rd

SDP via Windows Phone 7.5
Hi All, I just made our SDP site externally accessible, and it works fine from both a PC and one of my tech's Android phone on Verizon. I have a Samsung Focus running Windows Phone 7.5 on AT&T, and cannot get the full SDP site to load. The mobile client does load but is too limited to be all that useful. When I try to load the full site, I am prompted for credentials from IE as we have SSO enabled. Once the credentials are entered, the browser tries to redirct to /ntlmv2?redirectURL=HomePage.do,
Changing asset to consumable
We have 14000+ assets and 14000 of them are bits and pieces which are consumables and do not need to be tracked but still purchased through the system. I cannot see a way to change an item to be a consumable now I have modified the types as they were incorrectly added as components a long time ago. Also some of these are set to non-it assets of which there are many types yet the filter on the sidebar is empty as in my screenshot. Thanks D

Custom Report for "Problems" unable to select "Root Cause" and "Symptoms"
Hi, Using the Custom Reports for Problems, i am unable to select fields from "Analysis". Mentioned fields: Root Cause Symptoms I did not find this under known issues nor planned features. I know that i can get these information with query reports, but that "custom report" function would be needed for non- IT staff to create reports. Best regards, Nils
Printers from scan script to inventory
sd 8027 In the computer details in Hardware tab there is Printers section. Is there any way to add such a printers to the IT Assets->Printers automatically? Almost all the printers in my small network are host-based (HP P1102), so network scan does not detect them. And almost all these printers are shared. Is there any way to get list what user uses which printer? How can i get list of all printers (shared and network) used by some department? For example, i have 3 HP P1102 in Accounting Department
Onhold Status reason
Is it possible to be able to quickly view the reason why a request(s) are on hold without having to open the individual request and look at the History to the request. For example... In the request view (list of many requests) you can have a column that indicates the request status (Open, Onhold, Closed, etc), what about an additional column stating a reason... OR Maybe when you 'hover' the mouse over the 'Onhold' status, it displays a bubble window showing the reason. Similar to when you 'hover'
Request page not supporting html anchor
We are running Servicedesk 8.1. On the users we have setup html anchors for easier access to other services. SIP link for calling. VNC for remote management. And links to ISP web for reporting cases, info and status. The user page supports these links fine. But on the request page, the anchors won' t work. It would be nice if this could be fixed to support html anchors.

Scheduled Report deleted but still sending.
I've got a requests report "Weekly Workload for the web designers" going to two executives, every week. They said they were done with this report, so I deleted it from "Showing, Schedule Reports". The report is still sending apparently. I can't edit the report or the scheduling because it does not exist. I am an SRAdmin and I created the report and the schedule. Any ideas where I can find it, or shut it off? John "You know you've been doing tech support too long when you answer your home phone

Upgrading instructions
I've noticed while reading and performing a hotfix/servicepack that the instructions relate to backing up your SD+ using the backupdata.bat (in the first instance) My query relates to two things, firstly in the same set of instructions it then refers to running updatemanager.bat which also offers the function to backup, is this different to the backupdate? Secondly, If they are both doing the same thing, it seems sensible to include reference to this in the instructions and question whether there

Update Issues to SDP 8027 from 8022
Downloaded the 8027 update, ran update.bat file and selected it and get an error on install. Click the error log and it's blank... The last line in the command console that runs is this: at java.lang.thread.run(unknown source) I made sure java was updated.. The update manager error dialog is completely blank, just a white box that comes up. Haven't had any issues with the software itself, just trying to get upgraded to 8027 so we can install the new 8.1...
Crystal Reports & SDP
Why oh why on gods green earth have adventnet not used a date field for storing dates? This makes it nigh on impossible to write decent reports using Crystal (because lets face it, the built in reporting tool of SDP is pretty mediocre at best). How are we supposed to write date specific reports when the date is stored as a frikken string? And before you say anything, Crystal does not recognize the "<from_thismonth> command (at least if it does I can not get it to understand it). Considering how well
Reply email not appending to request
When a user replies to a request from an email client (webmail/outlook), it does not append the conversation to the ticket. If they reply from helpdesk interface, then it appends to the ticket. RE: [Request ID :##74##] : monitor has streaks <-- is the subject line in the reply. from my understanding, this should work?
ServiceDesk Plus fails to send any e-mails
We have a fresh copy of ServiceDesk Plus installed on a server here and for whatever reason this install will not send out any e-mail notifications. We've done all the tests to ensure that the server can create a connection to our exchange server via SMTP, but nothing is going out. Checking the Logs on the SMTP server there is no connection even being attempted. Wireshark was installed to the system to try to see if the connection was being attempted but just failed to write to the logs; nothing
Deleting Groups under the Default Settings
Hi team, We have renamed some of our Support Groups and would like to delete some of the support groups that are no longer in use that's under the Default Settings. I've checked all requests and no tickets are posted to the old groups. Actually, these old groups have been renamed already, and requests formerly posted to these group's names have been automatically moved to the new support group names. But in the Default Settings, the old group names still exists. Can you advise

SEARCH
Good day All, My topic is about the search. 1. I wanted to to search about the search issues in this forum but don't know how. 2. Main issue. Search in requests will target only the subject and description ? (Need a confirmation) If yes, then you need to think of having this search also on the fields in the service catalog templates, Manual searching for specifice details in the templates will be very difficult, and in most of the cases using normal request with all required in description
Going from Asset Explorer to Service Desk Plus
Hi there, what is the upgrade path going from AssetExplorer to the full suite of Service Desk Professional or Enterprise? I have over 1500 assets with TCO and purchase history (w/purchase orders) that would need to be migrated. So the question remains is there an upgrade path available for me to migrate to service desk professional. One of the critical components for us is mobile freedom. Since service desk has an iphone app it helps significantly however the secondary question is whether I can

Amending a user account
Hi guys. If an account is created by an incoming email (i.e. automatically), it appears that you cannot delete the login username. i.e. we have an account that has been set up by a reporting programme reports@domain.com and the login is reports@domain.com. As this account does not need access to the self support portal on our system, I want to delete the login name but leave the account. It seems that SD+ will not allow me to do this at present. In the meantime, I will delete the account and recreate

Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 showing as Compliance Type : Under Licensed but listed under overlicensed area
We are in the middle of some upgrades and I happened to notice this. Not sure if this is a bug or something misconfigured on my side. I had a vista and server key I had to add that were both showing as under licensed on the pie chart that turned green once i updated the info. For some reason though, the office line wants to list as compliant when it is not.
Purchase a service / work
Hi, we use service desk plus. I wondered if there was a way to add an item to a purchase order that's not an actual asset but needs to be placed on a purchase order none the less. I can work around this by adjusting the price of the order and entering something in the remarks section but it would be more useful if I had away of actually entering the details of the work or service as an item on the purchase order. thanks
