Software Reports - Purchased vs Installed software
Hi There, I need the ability to report on the Microsoft Office software we have installed on all PC's. I need this filtered and displayed by Region and Site, so I can see which Region and corresponding site are using our licences and where any freefall we have may lay. Can someone provide the SQL for this? Many Thanks, Allan
Tickets created and closed timeline report
Hello, I have a problem with a report that management has asked for. They want to see week by week, the number of tickets opened, and the number of tickets closed, in a line chart format. I created the line chart report, but the numbers are inaccurate. Here is the issue that I need help with... For quite a few of our tickets, they are opened and closed on the same day. When I group by request status, ServiceDesk just goes through the current status of the records and reports those counts. This

Security
Add the ability to add roles to specific groups. This would allow a Technician to be part of different Groups with each having different roles in those groups. Add the same role permissions for request to tasks. This will allow only Technicians in the group to see the Tasks and not other groups. Currently any technician can modify or close a task even if it not assigned to them.
Reporting - time elapsed excluding business hours
It would be helpful if SD could surface a function to calculate a time difference that included only business hours elapsed, or provided the following canned reports: Elapsed time without response (status filtered to exclude 'closed' tickets) Average Response Time (where time is only operational hours) We have made both of these reports fairly quickly, but the time_diff is a simple respondeddate - createddate function and does not speak to true business hours response times. Further: basic canned

Add worklog to a task
Curretly a task might be linked to a request/ticket. At that request/ticket there is the possibility for adding a worklog. But i would like to add a worklog to a task. It would make more sence that i add my worklog to the task at hand. Sure it can be shown at the request-page aswell as a summary of worklogs. Also a task is not always linked to a request, it can be an independant task. Yes you can fill in the start and end time. But what if i work multiple times at this task? The data would be incorrect.

Date format in query reports
Hello, When i try to get some data by a new query report (in SDP), i have some problem with the dates format: If I use the sdp built-in function "longtodate(wo.createdtime)", the date is returned in a useless format for me (i am spanish). If I use the function "from_unixtime(wo.createdtime)" the thing gets better (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS) but i am interested in a specific date format: "DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS". I don't know the reason when i use the function "convert()" or "date_format()", i get some senseless

Users: Parent --> Child Link
Within our organization requests go into the ServiceDesk in a variety of methods. 1. Direct e-mail to our helpdesk account. 2. Using SD form, after logging into AD account. 3. Voice mail that is redirected to our helpdesk e-mail account. 4. Simple form on our intranet that requires users to put in first/last name e-mail (if available), title, and detail. We have the variety of methods, because most people do not have their own active directory account and outlook e-mail. Within our organization
Incorrect Log in or password
Hey guys, Just came into work today and started getting the above error when trying to get into ServiceDesk Plus. Actually the entire IT crew cannot get in. They receive the same error. Nothing has been changed on our end. The program was working last night around 6pm EST. If it was one person I would think it may be a password issue but the entire department cannot access it. Any ideas as to why all of a sudden we cannot get in? Thanks, Chris
Installation error....Where can I find the jsp files?
I have SDP on my computer but when I tried isntalling it for my other computer I kept getting the error "Dashboard.jsp, no such file or directory".

Does anyone know where I can find the jsp files the SDP uses?

SLA rules Criteria - Groups???
Hi All, In our implementation of SDP 7.0.0 build 7010 we are attempting to assign SLAs based on the Groups. However the Group field is NOT a selection criteria under SLAs rules. Can someone explain why it is not there? And how I can request to get it added? Surely the SLA selection criteria should be able to be based on ANY standard field of a request? Or am I missing something? Cheers, Lew

Script to assist in gathering correct info when raising tickets
Hi, Pretty new to the product, so appologies if this has already been mentioned / requested. I am enquiring to see if there is a feature to allow for when a operator raises a support ticket, to generate a script of questions to ask the user, generated from the Category and sub Categories: eg Computer Name, Asset details, Impacted number of users, Description of problem, etc, etc. I know this is a basic idea, and I'm sure people have done this before, so once again appolgies if this has been
Cannot approve PO
We're just getting ServiceDesk + 8.0.0 configured. We've setup our CFO as a Requestor and checked the option of "Purchase Order Approver", however when we create a PO and it is sent for approval, the person receives a message "You cannot approve this PO". Are there settings regarding PO Approval elsewhere? Some posts I read make it seem like a PO Approver needs to be a technician.. this cannot be true?
Associating assets with Contracts- Based on number of days and Quantity
We have a large number of IT & Non IT assets taken together. They are covered under different OEM warranty and separate maintenance Contracts. The Contracts have a clause of coverage of the assets based on the start date from when the asset is covered in a particular contract and the number of days that a particular asset remains covered in that contract. Normally when an asset is taken out from one contract it is covered under a different contract from the next day. The OEM warranty sis covered

2 question / difference between "service catagory / request" and "requests / new incident"
Question 1 So i was looking into the possibility of linking a request to a PO, but this does not seem to be possible, am i right? Question 2 During this search i installed the trial of the enterprise edition. I found out that there is been made a difference between Service categories and incidents/requests. But i don't get why i should be using the request anymore? I mean with Service categories, the end-user hardly has to fill in a thing. He can't change category/subcategory which keeps the room
