Import groups from AD (active directory) into SDP
We use the groups in AD for security purposes, we and many others i can imagine. Now, the maintenance of the AD itself is already a big job if you want this done correctly. My question is, can these groups be imported into the "groups" of SDP? Because if i have to manually re-create and maintain these groups as well, than that will be a full-time job. We want to use these groups to target specific users with Announcements and to hide/show specific requests. Can this be done? Or can this be implemented?

Wasn't sure where to post this - remote usage
I have downloaded alot of the programs - OpManager, DesktopCentral, SupportCenter, ApplicationManager, DeviceExpert, etc.... I would like to use all of this products remotely - I know that I can use some of the products remotely like OpManager but can I use the rest of the products remotely? If so can someone point me in the right direction to get them configured? Also, is there any way to manage Apple products (macs, server, iphones) Thanks Matt
Request categories displayed in collor
So i was wondering if it would be possible to assign a color to a category. I would like to compare it with the categories in outlook. This would be useful to us, we get lots of call's on a day, so the list is long. I know you can use the filters but with colors we would have a more "viewable" display. It would be easier to differentiate and recognize certain problems. Any chance of adding this little tool?

Allow requesters to "re-open" ticket
Hi, I'm running ServiceDesk Plus 7.0.0 Build 7021. I'm trying to figure out what options need to be configured/enabled to allow users the ability to re-open their tickets. I see there are templates and such for this in the notifications area and I also see links available by default when a ticket is closed for a user to click and re-open their ticket. I don't see the anywhere to enable this feature. Thanks. GP
Evaluating ... need approx. dates for additional features
Hello ServiceDesk+ Team, we're currently evaluating ServiceDesk+. I have to admit I'm very impressed of the product, especially at the very attractive price. Something I'm very impressed is that you guys actually look in the forum and answer posts of your users! Unfortunately there're some things that we miss which would make it the perfect choice (from most to less important): - Domain Administrator In every country we have local administrators who perform helpdesk tasks and administer the local

Workstation Inventory Report (Need assistance)
I have two custom reports we put together using MySQL. We have migrated to MSSQL and I need assistance with converting the two reports. The first one is a Workstation inventory report. I am able to convert the first part of the report but I am unable to get the Inventory totals (Union portion) converted properly. Workstation Inventory Report in MySQL: select si.manufacturer 'Make', si.model 'Model', count(if(rss.statedesc='In Use',1,null)) 'In Use', count(if(rss.statedesc='In Store',1,null)) 'In
No 'Resolved Date' for requests?
Hi, I just went to create a Request view that displayed all Requests closed today and was concerned that only 2 requests were being displayed. On further investigation, only 'Closed' requests are being displayed and there doesn't appear to be a Request field for the Resolved date. Checked the reports and I can't see a resolved date field there either. Am I missing something here, as I'd assumed that my KPIs on closed requests would also include those resolved within the time period I'm reporting
Different Daily Operational Hours
We would like to be able to do a custom schedule per Site where the operational hours per day may vary. Currently we can only set the same operational hours per day. Our scenario is we have clients who have operational hours from 9:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. from Monday to Friday and 9:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M. for Saturdays. In the current SDP capability we can either set the Saturday as non-operational or the Saturday as from 9:00 A.M. - 6:00 P.M. as well. In both options, it does not favor the end-users

Closing the DOS prompt shuts down ServiceDesk
Is it normal behaviour to start ServiceDesk Plus by executing run.bat from the comman line and then having to keep that user logged on to the server and keep the DOS prompt open. If I close the DOS prompt, ServiceDesk shuts down. Please tell me how to start SDP without having to keep the user logged on and DOS prompt open. SDP version we're using is 7.6.0 Build 7611.
Description of templates visable for the requesters ??
So when i create a new incident-template, i can choose a name and in comments i can write a description. This description is visible when the user logs on, he/she sees the "Common incidents" and its description. However, if i click the "Quick action" - "New incident" and choose my template, there is no description to be found. Now it would be preferable to have the description in some sort of tool-tip. So that when the user moves over the template-name, a description is shown. An other possibility

Erase old backup data
Hello everybody. Is there a way to have old backups erased on a scheduled basis? I can do that with a Windows scheduled job, but that will not erase the list of old backups in ServiceDeskPlus "Backup Scheduling" page. Otherwise can you tell me the name of the table where that list is kept, so I can update it myself with a scheduled MySql query? Thank you so much. FB.
Case attatchment in autogenerated mail
Hello, I have a question: When we assign a ticket to a group an automatic mail is sent to an adress saying that a new ticket has been assigned to the group. That works fine, we added the fields we wanted so the responding group can monitor a mailbox and see the tickets rather then logging in to the system. The problem is that if a ticket has a file attatched to it I can't find a way to get SD+ to send that attatchment along with the autgenerated mail to the groupmail. Is there a way to do this? Thanks

Shortcut to entering time spent (work log) to call
Is there a way, or if not can the functionality be added, so that from the list of open or pending calls you can click an icon in this list next to a call and it will pop up the 'add work log' dialogue box so that time spent and a brief description could be more easily added as you work on calls. Some of the calls we have are open for some time and a large dialogue builds up in them. To add time to the work log you have to click on the call, scroll past all of the dialogue in the call and then click

Parent - child Dependency in Connection Relationship
Being able to define an asset is connected to another asset in SDP is useful when you try to establish the impact of an incident or a change to other assets. However, in the current feature of defining connections, it is hard to establish how assets are connected in a perspective of dependency For example, we have desktops which is connected to Edge Switch 1. We can define the assets Desktop1, Desktop 2, etc... connected to Switch 1. Switch 1 is connected to Distribution Switch 2. If we look at the
Graphical product catalog
Product list is ServiceDesk Plus currently is just a list of product names in the product list. It will be useful of instead of a long list of products, we can have a catalog including images of the product to easily identify that product within that long list. A facility to upload an image of the product would be better to browse than search for a product in the long list

Dashboard Report - SDP 7.6
Hi, I liked the older dashboard report better than what comes with the new SDP 8.0. It gave us a good comparision of new tickets vs closed tickets and outstanding balance per week, day, and month. Is it possible to get that report in the new SDP 8.0 ? I dont mind having it available as a report that you go to and physically run on need basis. thanks,
How to: "order this PO - send email notification to vendor" does nothing
Sorry, here i am again. As i said before, i'm extensively testing this tool to see what's possible and what not :) So i"ve noticed that you can only make a purchase order not an enquiry. During the test i dealt with it by setting the productsprice to zero. The vendor than supposedly sends back his offer, i edit the prices and than send the actual order.This is not very user-friendly but ok it works. What does not seem to work is the following: Suppose that i've created my PO and had my vendor selected
Relabelling default form fields
Hello It would be useful for admins to be able to relabel the default fields provided for forms. For example, a service we carry out is to copy files between 2 networks since the users do not have the permissions to do so themselves. When they request the servcie they arer required to list all of the files they want copying. It would be useful to be able to relabel (e.g) the Description field from "Description" to something more descriptive of our intent, (e.g.) "File List".
