Reply template is blank
We're running version 8008. One of the recent updates (not sure if it was 8007 or slightly earlier) has created a problem where intermittently the "Mail to Requester" comes up blank for some tickets. (See attachments.) There are not a lot of tickets affected by this, however those that are affected have this problem every time you try to reply to the ticket. This is a Windows install to the default MySQL database. Any suggestions? Thanks, James
Business Hours elapsed time_diff function
rather than using the time-diff() function, we would like to create custom reports showing elapsed time in business hours - it would be helpful (rather than writing this ourselves) if you could provide a bushrs_time_diff() function for use in the reporting tool that looks up local business hours based on site of a ticket then calculates the elapsed times between notable events for reporting purposes going one further it would be nice if the elapsed business hours were simply a field somewhere so

Is there an easy way to export Category, Subcategory, and Item entries from SDP?
I'm currently in the process of cleaning up our Categories, Subcategories, and Items in SDP and while it's easy to import changes in .csv format I would like to export this info from SDP so I can make numerous changes a bit easier. My question would be is there an easy way to do this? Or if there's not could we get this functionality on a future release? Respectfully, Jamie - Las Vegas, NV

SLA business hours / after hours
My client would like to consider lunch hour as not applicable for SLA, is there a possibility that SLA operational hours will become more flexible? (define multiple (non-overlapping) time periods.. ie. 8-12, 1-5). Would like to be able to define 'after hours' as well as 'standard operating hours, as 'after hours' is not in many cases 'everything but op hours''. After hours may be from 5pm to 11pm. After 11pm you are out of luck. Also looking for more articulation of how timers work. The business
SDP - Purchase Order - New asset creation - No Warranty Period field
Hi, In SDP, when creating a new asset within a new Purchase Order, there is no field for warranty period, while it does exist when creating new assets under Admin - Products. As a result, all the new assets/products created within PO need to have their warranty info adjusted manually, one by one. Can this be implemented in the near future? Thank you, Miron
Signature problem
After updating from 7.6 to : 8.0.0 Build 8009 I've noticed that behavior of the signature placement has changed. SD-25080: When replying to a request, the technician signature was shown at the very end. Now, the signature comes under the reply content. Now I have such reply window: In green area is my signature and in the red area is the standard text of the reply form. But why my signature is above my standar reply text? Or I need smth to change?

Custom Field Default via E-Mail Generated Ticket
Hi, We just upgraded to SDP 8.0.4, and are having an issue with a custom field when a ticket is generated via e-mail. When an e-mail ticket is received, our custom field "building" (which is a pick list) is set to "0," which is not one of the available selections. In previous versions (7.6 and older), it would simply remain unset since the e-mail did not contain this info. We have another custom field that's a single line, and this remains blank as expected. The attached screenshot should help

Why is SLA reapplied on changes to closed tickets
Doing some clean up of old tickets after having changed SLA rules. Noticing the tickets are showing the new sla response and dueby dates - I would ordinarily not want this to recalculate on closed tickets - does this mean all changes on closed tickets now need to be done through sql scripts rather than the interface to avoid this trigger firing?

problem opening attachments with Chrome
Hi, I'm guessing that SD+ isn't certified for Chrome, but I'm wondering if anyone knows of a workaround for this problem. When trying to open an attachment in SD+ > Requests > In the body of the request, using Chrome it doesn't immediately launch the attachment, downloads a file called HdFileDownloadServlet. When I launch this file Windows doesn't recognize it because it doesn't have an extension. If I choose Chrome from the "Open With" dialog it will then open the extension just fine. SD+ 8.0

ServiceDesk Plus Mail Fetch Stops every day

Handling New Hire forms or creating special templates inside of Service Desk Plus
I've been tasked with what I think is a mission impossible request. Currently my company uses a MS Word form with check boxes, open fields for comments, etc for bringing in our new hires and I wish there was an easy way to import that form into SDP. During the Manage Engine User Conference in San Francisco last week someone said you could use the API for importing and exporting but that's not something I have any experience with. My question for the M.E. Community: Has anyone else been tasked with

We have 2 different and separately managed groups within our organization all using SDP (build 8009). We want to use separate SLA's and business rules for each group and also be able to separately view the dashboard for each group. Therefore we decided to use the sites feature to allow this. Group 1 - not associated with any site Group 2 - Site A Both sites need to see all the same requesters (active directory used) We created Site A added the technician group and assigned technicians to this group

Translation Problem Italian version
Hi, Just signaling a few mistakes in the Italian translation of ServiceDesk. In the italian version the "Asset ID" in the ti ticket request is translated as "Workstation ID", which is not entirely accurate since we associate not just workstations to the users and this create confusion. In the Mail configuration to start and stop the fetcher there is a "INIZIA RIEPILOGO" and "FERMA RIEPILOGO", which in Italian just doesn't make any sense at all. Better to place something like "ATTIVA" and "DISATTIVA".

Perspectives or Views for Request Tab Column Customization
A couple of feature requests bundled into one. Given the fairly clunky column customization possible in the request view. 1. Allow repositioning of columns by drag and drop 2. Allow multiple sub-sets of columns to be saved as 'Views' or 'Perspectives' (to avoid left right scroll and to build multiple purpose focussed column sets) 3. Allow renaming of column headers Re 2: I might have a 'default view' of Rank | Request ID | Template Name | Description | Requester | Created Date | Due By | Status But
