Confusion surrounding departments
Hello, I am having some difficulty understanding how SDP handles departments. I have imported all of our requesters from AD and had it pull in the requesters and their departments. I see that when I pull up a requester's record, it does show them in the correct department. However, that is only in the "Requester Details" section. Under "Request Details" it still says that the department is "Not Assigned" even though the ticket is for the requester which accurately states which department she

Measuring Response Time
Does anybody kow how to reliably measure response times. ATM the only reports I can find displays the automatic system generated email (that acknowledges receipt of the request) as the response time. As it's only a second later it's not a suitable measure. I'm still a little bit surprised that only resolution SLAs are being tracked, but maybe that's because nobody knows how to measure the response time. I want to know when my technicians first added a note or a work log. An email from the system
How to stop SDP scanning disabled computer accounts?
Is there anyway to stop SDP scanning certain computer accounts, or to ensure than automatic scans only scanned selected OUs? I've got a few assets that I do not want adding to SDP, but the automatic scan keeps putting them back in, and then I get licensing messages when trying to add new workstations. One other very good reason for doing this - the computer account for pass-through authentication keeps getting added to my list of assets! :(

Asset visibility
Good morning, I was wondering if it is possible to delegate control of asset managemt (e.g. add, modify, deletion end visibility) of asset depending of tecnician site, region or group. At the moment we would like to split network asset management from the rest, but everybody who access to the assett part has access and visibilty of everything. Is it possible to change this behaviour? Thank you

Software Manufacturers
Hi all, I am using the latest version of SDP (8003), and I am having a problem with "Manufacturers" (mandatory field). These are recognized when a workstation is scanned and automatically added to the database. But it turns out that software manufacturers not always use a standard name, so you will end up with something like "Adobe Systems", "Adobe Inc." "Adobe Incorporated", all of them being the same! and having software linked to them. SDP 8 does not allow to change/edit the name of the manufacturer

Close Request Requirements
Is it at all possible to require notes to be posted to a request ticket before it is closed?

Inaccurate "Processor Name" in Assets Report
Now that we've finally updated to SD 8.0 Build 8009, we're testing out the Asset Inventory module. One of the things we've come across is that the CPUs in some of our modern HPs like our HP DC5800's with Core2Duo being reported as Intel Pentium III Xeon processor and HP 3130Pros with Core i5 being reported as Intel Pentium II processor. Clearly this isn't accurate. However, one of our HP laptops that has a Core i5 in it DID get reported properly. There's a few other fields that aren't
SDP - New Incident - Select Assets - Add Column Customizer option
Hi, When using SDP, I've noticed that when a user creates a new incident and tries to select an asset, corresponding with the incident, only Asset Name column is available for view. I find this very confusing, as if Asset Name is just a general name with a running number (in my case barcode scanners are named TZ-BSCAN01, TZ-0BSCAN02, TZ-BSCAN03 and so on) it is impossible for the end user to figure out which one he needs to select (in my configuration, assets are assigned to a department, rather
Duplicate requesters / users being created
Hi Everyone, I have found some weird issue for our install of Service Desk 8. We have a domain, we'll call it domain1, that is setup to allow active directory pass through. All of our requesters were imported from it when we were using service desk 7. Their domain shows domain1. Now though when a user submits a ticket, it creates a new user rather than using the existing requester. Example of an existing requester: First Name: Example Last Name: User Username: EUser. Domain: domain1. Email address:

Query for specific technician response performance
Hello, I've been asked to pull a report on how quickly a technician is able to resolve/close (or reassign) tickets that have been assigned to them. Specifically, the requirements need a report broken out by technician that provides the total number of tickets for the last year and what percentage of those tickets were either resolved, closed, or reassigned within 24 hours of that ticket actually being assigned to that technician. I'm not too interested in when the ticket was actually opened, but

Templates are nice but Macros are better
It would be a VERY useful feature for us if you can include the ability to 'record' macros for the purpose of creating, populating and closing incident or service requests with 1 selection. Here's an example: A user sends us a request to load, run, and notify him/her when a batch job has been completed. We now have to create a Service Request (even if it's template) and start filling in the info. If you had the ability to record macros, we would only need to fill in user (variable passed

Change the filter list.
Hi, We have some custom views we use on the requests page. We want only some technicians to see these views, we could make them private for each technician but this is obviously a long process. Is there any way to make a custom view and push it to some technicians but not all. We could filter the technicians individually or by their site association.
