Subcategory and Items are not sorted
Hi guys, We have this issue where the subcategory and items are not sorted in the Incident Template. In the Admin page everything is ok but in the Incident Template itself we have the unsorted issue. Has anyone encountered this as well ? How was it fixed. Thanks, Jon
Override due by date created by SLA
When incident forms are created, the requesters have an option to complete a timeline / deadline field for when they require the resolution to be complete. I'd like this field to be displayed as the 'due by' date as opposed to the system generated SLA one. I've been told that the resolution SLA / due by field cannot be edited and I wondered: - a) if any other users are affected by this b) if they are, whether or not they have found a solution A possible way around this would be

random issue using firefox 5
When using firefox 5, the text into the field "description" (in service catalog part) is randomly displayed (with an admin login or requester login). The most "fun" is when login a service request, by pressing several time "F5" on the form, you can see the text appear and disapear. This issue only happen with Firefox, we do not have the issue with Internet explorer 9. Thanks in advance... Mathieu
local authentication not possible
We have enalbed AD authentication and also accidently have disabled the option that allows users to login local. We want to login with the local administrator user, but the option local authentication is not present. With the user administror we have no options to select for the domain. In AD anuser administrator is also present, perhaps that is part of the problem. Is there any way to enable login for the administrator user with local authentication ?
How difficult can it be to get a working SSL in place for SDP?
I am so frustrated! I just got off another call with Manage Engine support, this coming on the heels of having a Manage Engine person actually onsite. The problem? We can't seem to get a working SSL certificate enabled for Service Desk Plus. I've got a team of guys who can install certs all day long and have not had a lick of trouble doing so. Yet when it comes to installing a Verisign cert for SDP...and following the knowledge base instructions to the letter we're still sitting here with no working
Request History report
I am trying to run a report to get a complete history of the last years jobs, so can see when jobs were on hold, pending third party etc with timestamps. I have found the query below which looks like it might do the trick but get a java.sql.SQLException: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'TRUNCATE'. select wo.WORKORDERID 'Request ID', (select CASE WHEN wohd.COLUMNNAME = 'OWNERID' THEN 'Technician' ELSE 'GROUP' END ) 'Changes in',DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(wo.CREATEDTIME/1000) ,'%d-%m-%Y %k:%i')
Purchase Order approval
We are wanting to use the PO component of SDP, however, I think it's just too complex for our needs. Essentially, we have 5 technicians. We'd like to allow the technicians to be able to approve their own POs. But, when they submit their own POs, they have to manually go back and "submit approval." Then they have to go to their Home page, then click Tasks next to the PO, then approve it. Is there a more simplified way to do this? Can we create automatic approvals? We're not very big--just five IT
Notify a User Group when a service request is submitted?
When HR hires a new employee, we would like them to enter in a service request "Request to Start the Process Associated to a New Hire". Is it possible that a User Group be included in the notification that HR has made a new hire? We have a group of users, not just technicians, who need to be notified when HR make a new hire. Right now, it seems that I can only notify technicians when a service request is entered and that may be the way the program is designed. Thank you in advance.
Formating - Solutions
Had a quick browse and search for "Formatting" within these forums and seems to be that nothing is supported as of yet? Is anyone else out there frustrated when creating a new Solution, formatting paragraphs, spaces, text size, font type, it all looks as you wish, hit save and approve and the displayed reult is completely different!?!? i have started creating in MS Word and then copy/past into the solution, which seems to work slightly better, but still not as expected. Any other solutions

Prioritize custom images from /ServiceDesk/custom/ to ensure Corporate Identity after Hotfixes have been applied
I adjusted some of the image files of ServiceDesk Plus, in order to have a better Corporate Identity (CI) of our SD+ site. However, I realized after every Hotfix we apply, I need to readjust some of the images. This is very "unfriendly" regarding custom theming - especially because there IS a place to put custom stuff into! I'd like that you make SD+ using the files (especially images) from the /ServiceDesk/custom/ folder with priority against the files that are deeper inside the application
SLA Report for all technicians [past week]
Hi I am using MSSQL ServiceDesk Plus 8.0.0 Build 8011 I have the following query to display SLA details for the last week, the figures are slightly skewed "Total Closed/Resolved within SLA" and "Closed exceeding SLA" columns seem ok but the percentages are being calculated on the "Total Number of Calls" column I believe and I would like them calculated on the "Total Closed/Resolved Calls" column eg. for "Percentage within SLA": "Total Closed/Resolved Calls" * 100 / "Total Closed/Resolved Calls"

Auto Close take into account business days set
I'd like the auto close feature (when placed in a resolved state will close after a certain number of days) to take into account the business days / hours set forth in the configuration. If I place a ticket as resolved on a Thursday and set the automated close to 2 days the ticket closes on a Saturday when we're not open. It would be nice for it to close, in this example, on Monday. [EDIT] And to close, in this example, after 2 days the request is set to 'Resolved' not 2 days after the "Due by Date".

SDP scan of Brocade Switches and ESXi hosts
Hello I'm having problems in scanning Brocade Switches and ESXi servers using SDP 8. SNMP agents are enabled correctly and I can successfully query the SNMP agents on the switches and ESXi servers using an SNMP Tester tool on the SDP server. However, a scan using SDP fails. Does SDP have issues with scanning Broacade switches and ESXi servers? Regards Gavin NOTE: I can scan an ESX host, but not an ESXi host. ESXi hosts don't have an OS (service console), but do have SNMP agents.

Option to send notification off but system still sends
Hi we have disabled the option to send notifications to requesters when a ticket is closed. However the system still sends a notification anyway. This is very disruptive, for example we try to close a ticket, the system sends a notification to the user, but this user's inbox is full so we get a message from the System admin saying that the user's inbox is full. As a result the ticket is reopened. This happens anytime we try to close these types of ticket. And we would like requesters to have the
