Unpicked tickets email time
Is it possible to change the amount of time before the unpicked ticket notification is triggered? Currently, if a new ticket is logged, the unpicked email is triggered if it is not picked up within 3 minutes. That's too soon. I only want to know if it hasn't been picked up after an hour or more. Or is it possible to change this based on the group that the ticket belongs to and/or the priority of the ticket?

Link to multiple email addresses
We would like to be able to link to multiple email addresses and just assign the emails to a site or group based on the email address.

Switching from ServiceDesk authentication to Active directory authentication
We have established users with ServiceDesk authentication enabled. When we change the configuration to use the Active Directory authentication we can log in but no requests are shown. Seems to be no data. Attached is a picture of the entry page when I login using ServiceDesk authentication and another image when I use Active directory authentication. Seems when authenticating under AD I lose my admin rights and all request visibility.
Category Configuration Wizard
When modifying the categories and sub categories within the configuration wizard when you select "Tree View" it would be nice either to be able to resize it so we could print it off to look at it offline or if you could have a "Print Tree View" selection so it would make it easier to organize all of our categories and sub categories. Thanks, Joe Duea

Recall of a saved forwarded mail shows no content
When we created a request and we want to forward this to any mailadres, there is a possiblity to send/save/send for review or to cancel it. After saving you can retrieve this "concept" on top of the request, BUT the Description is empty. The mailadres and subject are saved, not the description. And this is of course the most important piece. Thank you for your help.
MySQL to MSSQL database problem
I have changed databases from MySQL to MSSQL. I have followed the instructions from the converting steps but am having an issue. When I run restoreData.bat and select the latest backup, it looks like it restores everything correctly except I am unable to login. Previously, I was using AD with Pass-Through enabled.

Asset scan fails when PC is renamed
We name our PC's with the owners name so that when the PC changes owner we rename the PC. This has the advantage that on the network we can see machine ownership and access shared folders etc. The serial number obviously stays the same. However when using the Service desk asset manager instead of detecting the change and updating the record it throws up an error : FAILURE :Database exception while updating Workstation.Please report the problem to the system administrator, with the Error Code

Scheduled creation of requests based on assets
Hi I would like to auto create requests taken from an asset perspective. Eg. I have several windows server assets in SDP for which I have a monthly task of doing windows update and several other maintenance tasks, instead of making an "preventive maintenance" on each asset I would like SDP to make a rule that does this based on eg. asset type - is that possible or is it a new feature that you would have to develop?

OpManager Integration Issue
I am trying to setup integration with our Opmanager server. The issue that I am having is that because we are using Active Directory login in Servicedesk it will not let me connect from the Opmanager side because I am guessing the password contains special characters. Also because we purchased five technicians (which is the actual number of people we have using the product) it will not allow me to have a local account to use for the Opmanager tie in, so I am required to use one of my technician
Reports Archive?
The support team can be great a providing custom reports almost on request via the forums. Have you thought of making them all available somewhere for everyone to browse through and selec the one they want. Maybe a forum section or built into the application to browse a controlled repository, almost like the solutions function within the application. May cut down the repeat requests and will allow the end users to not reinvent the whole wheel if there is a tried and trusted report that does most
