Create a Query Report Showing Approved and Denied requests and who approved/denied them
Hi My compliance department has asked if we could create a report once a month for them stating what requests their team has approved or denied. I have had a quick look through the forum and found the following script to be perfect, apart from the the fact that it will not pick up who approved the request, stating N/A in each occasion. So basically I need the report to list * Request ID * Title * Requester * Request Date * Approval Status * Approved By On a monthly basis. I believe I need to ask

SDP – any way of not creating a ticket when Email is received
Hi all, first posting on here so go easy on me ;) Not long started with current company and we have ServiceDesk Plus (7.6.0 B7600 – know it’s out of date), so I’m still feeling my way around the software and comparing it to other helpdesk software I’ve used. 1st question is ….

No technicians in drop down list now I have implemented sites
Hi all, I have recently configured ServiceDesk Plus for the sites feature. If I create a new request, or click on the 'Edit' button on an existing one, the 'Technician' drop down list is empty and any existing technician assignment is removed from the request. All technicians are currently associated with all sites and also with the 'not in any site' option. I can set a technician when I am just viewing the request (and click where it says 'Not assigned') - then the drop down list is correctly populated.

Is there a way to put ServiceDesk Plus Within an IFrame?
We have a corporate website and all of our other tools are integrated within it (dotnet framework) and the only piece missing is the ServiceDesk piece. It is really causing us an issue since this is the sole tool we use to log and track incidents? What is happening is when the Iframe is loaded, it is like it loses its CSS? Is there any way (fingers crossed) to fix this issue? ANY help on this would be VERY APPRECIATED!! Thanks Chad ~
Change Request Notifications
Hi All our e-mail notifications currently work correctly, with the exception of when an acceptance/rejection is made to a change request - does anyone know why this would not be working, as at present, a requester has to go into the change itself and check for responses. Many thanks Doug.

automated email interaction with our suppliers
Like a lot of companys we outsource some of our IT functions. We interact with these suppliers by automated emails containing data from their helpdesk systems. Is that something Servicedesk can automate for us? For example, * if an an automated email gets sent from our first-line support provider, the date gets scraped out and created as a ticket automatically in the helpdesk. * if we update the ticket with an action for them, it emails them back * if we then want to send the ticket to our

Failed to communicate with client while updating workstation agent
I am running ServiceDesk 8017. Currently I am trying to deploy the latest agent (1.05) to our workstations. While doing this, I was receiving a lot of 'failed to communicate with client" errors. After some troubleshooting, I found that the AssetExplorer agent was stopped. When I tried to start it, I receive a message saying that the service is stopped because it has nothing to do. If I try to start it a few times, it finally starts and I can update the agent. However it does eventually stop

Report against archived requests
I need to produce some historical stats. We have setup our SDP archive to auto archive anything clsoed once its a year old. Consequently everything from prior to Nov last year is in the archive and I cannot get any of these archived calls to show under normal reporting. Should I be able to simply use the reporting button options to report on archived calls, or do I need to write a special query ?

Help pls! adding new request automatically.
Hi All, I'm new to Service Desk and I'm trying to use it as our helpdesk solution. I recieve service requests in word file forms (generated by an application, out of our control). I use a word macro to gather request informtion (e.g. requester name, type of request, etc.) from certain locations in the word file. Now I have all information of a request in the (VB) macro's variables. Is there any way to generate a new request from these variables and add it to SD (e.g. through its SDK) atomatically

AD Additional Fields in Incident template
I'm not sure if I'm missing the procedure on how to do this, but is it possible to have an additional Requester field that's populated from Active Directory visible on an incident template? At the moment I'm not seeing anyway of seeing the contents of the additional details other than clicking on the persons name and opening their details.
Asset module and Active Directory
I have a list of computers that are possibly no longer in use, some are in other office locations. For arguments sake let’s say that the computer names range from LP001, LP002, LP003… etc. up to LP010. Since I cannot confirm that all of these computers are no longer used, could I not disable the computer(s) in Active Directory and when I run an Asset scan, they would not be added to the Asset list of ”failed during last scan list”?
How to rename 'New Incident' buttons back to 'New Request'
Hi - I upgraded my OpManager last night from 8721 to 8812. After the upgrade, the ‘New Request’ button on all the panels changed to ‘New Incident’ and the technicians are finding it confusing. On all the Panels, where there used to be a button for ‘New Request’ the button now says ‘New Incident’. On the Requests Panel, in the Request screen, the ‘New Request’ button has also been replaced with ‘New Incident’, but the ‘Edit Request’ and ‘Link Requests’ buttons remain unchanged. I am attaching
