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

Hi, Pretty new to the product, so appologies if this has already been mentioned / requested.

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

Service Deskplus Dates
Can anyone explain how dates are stored in service desk plus. I wish to write a native MS SQL query that interprets dates which are stored as data type BIGINT in MS SQL Server. I read somewhere that it is the number of milliseconds since 1 Jan 1970 but MSSQL server DATEDIFF function cannot handle a BIGINT value so I assume some other method is used to convert from the BIGINT value to a valid date.

Dashboard: Security Setup for Roles other than Admins
I would like to have the ability to give my technicians the ability to view the dashboard. Currently I have to have all of my technicians assigned as an administrator so that they can see it. The dashboard is a powerful tool that allows the technicians to see how they rank with everyone else. When they see that one of their colleagues is falling behind they ask them to send them some reqs to help them get caught up. It also helps them to compete to not have the most open requests and to

On Call suggestion needed
Right now we have a business rule that assigns most tickets to our Tier 1 Help Desk. They in turn respond or escalate tickets to Tier 2 if needed. On weekends we have someone from Tier 2 "on call" where users can call a special number that gets routed to the On Call tech's cell phone. The problem we have is that if a end user puts in a ticket instead of calling the special number, that ticket gets assigned to Tier 1 and the notification email gets sent to Tier 1 so the Tier 2 tech on call never

Work logs
If I set the Work Log as a mandatory requirement for a technician to close a request, the technician has to select "Add work log" on the Resolutions tab. I suggest that when the technician selects the user tab, SDP checks to see if the work Log is mandated. If it is, SDP automaticaly opens the work log at the bottom of the resolutions tab. (I have had a number of my technicians expressing frustration at having to click the "Add work log" option since they often find out they have forgotten it
