Approvals suggestion/problem
Hello On a number of our services we require an approval to be provided by any one of a group of people. Once one of them ahs approved the request we are able top process it as normal. However, there is nothing that advises the other possible approvers that the approval has been granted. Suggest that, in the event a Service Request requires only 1 approval from a number of approvers, that a message be displayed on the approvals page or emailed to the other appriovers that approval has been granted

Can I include [##Incident number##] in the subject for notifications that are sent to a certain tech?
Hi, Can the above be done at all in the system? Thanks Martin
Requesters cannot use lookup function in the "E-mail id(s) to Notify" field of a new request.
As a technician I can see and use the lookup function but users cannot see the lookup icon. Is this by design?

SLA based on request submission time
We're currently building our SLAs and I'd like to create 2 for each response level, one that would be applied to tickets that are submitted during business hours and the other would be applied after hours. They would have different Response and Resolution Due By times. Is this possible?

How to add someone to the ADAdmin Role?
I know I've done this when we first implemented the product, but now i can't seem to get it done. I want to add another IT tech to the SDAdmin role. If I go through the 'Roles' section it just allows me to view members of customize the role's rights. If I go into the 'Technicians' section i can see a place under 'Select Permissions' to add the tech, but it wants a user name and password and won't proceed without it. I don't know his AD password! i don't want to know...what am I missing? Thanks

Replying to a Conversation
Recently, we have been receiving E-mails but when I try to reply to them, only the sender is included in the To Field and all other people who had been included on the mail are stripped. This is making it harder for us to keep everybody in the loop when updating tickets. Before the 8.0 update, we were able to hit reply and everybody who had been on the original mail would be included (like Reply All). Could this please be fixed as it is causing us problems as we have to hunt down the original E-mail
Java.exe pegging the CPU
This manifest itself as a 500 error with a Java Heap size error. I followed instructions to change the configuration of the Heap Size and raised it from 128/256 (Start/Max) to 256/768. The Heap Size error went away and now we can just not close a log. It spins its wheels and eventually stops loading and stays on the log with no closure. During this, Java.exe on the server is pegging the processor to 95 to 100%. I have restarted the server as well as the service with no affect. Thanks
wrong Task link in mail notification
Hello, i'am using a mail notification to warn technicien each time a task is assigned to them. But the link provided in the mail is not good. I mean the text of for the link is good, but the link itself is not correct (i get both IP and the alias of the server).

Can you help me? Thanks, Mathieu

Changing database from Mysql to Sql2005
I have just updated successfully from 7509 to 7514 to 7600 to 7602. All updates ran without a problem and works perfectly on MYSQL. Took a full backup of Mysql database, stopped the SD service, changed the database to SQL2005 database server, then let it create the SQL database called "servicedesk". Started SD so that it creates all the tables in the servicedesk database, then stopped SD. Ran the restoredata script file selected the 7602 full backup and restored it to the new SQL2005 database "servicedesk".
Error with request link
Hi, I have a business rule set up that emails technicians when an incident is requested that has emergency priority. The RequestLink in the rule doesn't work. When you click it from an email I get this: http://icthelpdesk:8080/http:/icthelpdesk:8080/WorkOrder.do?woMode=viewWO&woID=3952 as you can see the first part is replicated which is why its not working. Is there any way I can get rid of this? Thanks Martin
Reports Forum / Exchange for Custom reports developed by users
I noticed some useful sql code in a number of searches I have done, but would suggest that it would be helpful to have all sql and custom reports collected into a separate forum, with meta tags to list dbase and version compatibility, relations to link variants, versioning, created by etc, perhaps even a elance/mechanical turk like bounty system for developing reports.
Notification Rules
Hello, Is is possible to have a notification rule which notifies the requestor when a ticket is assigned to a technician? Thank-you.
preventive maintenance 31days
I can create a recurrent task. I can set it to monthly and then choose the month/day/hour. So lets say i check "every month" and choose "on" Date: 31 Does the system know February only has 28 days? And does it "create" the task the 28th of February ? It might be a stupid question but i did not found an explanation in the guide. Monthly Task Scheduling Every Month January February March April May June July August September October November December On Date 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
SQL questions on an software report
Hello I would like to create a list displaying all PC's which are not-disposed and which have thunderbird and Lotus installed. The basis query is here; I need some help to filter for the not-disposed workstations (in the where clause) SELECT sys.WORKSTATIONNAME 'Workstation Name',softl.SOFTWARENAME 'Software Name',aau.first_name 'User' FROM SystemInfo sys LEFT JOIN SoftwareInfo soft ON sys.WORKSTATIONID=soft.WORKSTATIONID LEFT JOIN SoftwareList softl ON soft.SOFTWAREID = softl.SOFTWAREID LEFT JOIN
Description Additional Incident Fields
Whilst you are creating a template and you're adding an additional field, you CAN fill in the description-field of that additional field. But the information that is given in this field, is nowhere to be found. I find this odd and kinda useless. It would be nice to have this information available for the end-user. Whilst one makes a request, and he/she rolls-over the field name, it would be great that the description pops up in a tool-tip? Could this feature be added?
Duplicate Technician Group names after upgrade
We recently upgraded from ServiceDesk Plus 8.0.0 Build 8005 to 8011 as well as moved the application and data to a new server. We have encountered a problem where users will access a Request and attempt to assign the request using the available toolbar. When attempting to choose group from the “Assign Group and Technician” form, the “Choose Group” dropdown menu is showing multiple duplicate entries. For example: Choose Group: Incoming Email Tickets IT Secure
Search
Everytime I search software the results appear and the search defaults change back to search in requests. This can be quite annoying when doing multiple sofware searches. Searching under workstation will do the same thing but the search box defaults back to assests. All other seaches retain the seach catagory for each search.
Business Rules suggestion # 2
Currently, you can set up a business rule based upon the service category. There are cases where you might want most of the services under a particular service category being directed to the Service Desk with the remainder being automatically directed elsewhere. For example, your organisation might require all requests to have an account enabled referred to the Information Systems Security Officer for approval. Under the User Management service category you create a form called Enable Account.

Users on this Helpdesk Software
My intention in using the HelpDesk is to provide a support for any number of users of our software yet is seems to treat outside users as employees? Am I missing something? Why do have an employee ID for a Requestor that has no connection to our company other than they bought our product ?

Cannot send request notifications to external clients?
We have been very happy with Service Desk but are currently rolling the product into our customer service team for tracking issues and encountering problems sending ticket numbers to those people. Internally it works correctly, sending messages to internal members when they email to support email address. Sending to the same email address from an external (say Hotmail or Gmail as examples) causes the request to be raised but no ticket is sent back to the originating email address. Looking at the

configuring server time zones
Our SDplus server is hosted in the PST time zone and all our agents work in the EST time zone. Without changing the actual windows O/S time zone, is there a way to set a global time zone for SD plus so that SLAs are calculated by EST times? Currently, our work around has been to add 3 hours to all the SLAs but I'd like to know if there's a better way. Thanks!
Deleted fields from default incident template still appear when editing requests
I seem to have a quirk inside of SDP that I don't understand. Our organization had me modify our default Incident Template and several fields were removed as we don't use them. One of those fields is "Impact Details". After removing it we found no other place for us to enable or use this field when we go through all of our configuration settings. Yet if we pick any ticket from our request tab, then click on Edit Request we see the Impact Details box. Either we missed a configuration setting or we
