userdefined views
I'm not getting along with those userdefined views. The result is always wrong. I think my filter gets interpreted wrong, braketing would be helpfull... The filter should look like that Technican is not "2" AND Status is not "closed" AND subcategory is not "xyz" Has anybody an idea?

Ability to add to work log from a task
I have not seen a way to do this currently and thought it would be a great idea. In our organization the ticket owner can of course create tasks and assign to other technicians. The way it is now that technician has to open the ticket to be able to add to the work log. It would be great if that technician could open up their task and be able to append to the tickets work log directly from the task.
Adding Software As Product - Minor Version Doesn't Display All Items
Going into the Admin section to add a product for a PO (because the PO add product is broken - see my other recent ticket). I'll use the example of VMware Fusion 3 for this. I opened up the product details window to add the product. Selected "Software" as the product type. I go to select the minor version (which is stupid in the first place, but unfortunately is required even for new software that you've never used before). However, even though we have an earlier version of this software on
Solution search functionality
I am having an issue with the solution search in SDP. I have a solution for how to VPN into the college network. The keyword for the solution is simply VPN. If I just type VPN in the solution search, the solution is found. However, if I type "How do I VPN into the college network" into the search, the solution is not found. I would think the solution would be found regardless if typed just VPN or an entire sentence that contained the keyword VPN. What are your thoughts/experiences? Thanks.
directly connect to devices using telnet or ssh and ping devices from Asset View
Hello 1) it would be very usefull to connect directly to network devices (like switchs and routers) via telnet or ssh by clicking on an icon (one for telnet, one for ssh) next to the assetname 2) for debugging purposes, it would be extremly interesting to be able to launch a ping towards the device by clicking on the IP-address of an asset.

Dashboard
I was wondering if there was a way to add extra request filters to the dashboard? I would like to be able to filter open requests by the technician they are assigned to rather than just my own - is this possible? Thank you for your help.
Hyperlink in email to request is not working
When we generate an email notification to a technician with an embedded link in the email to the specific request we get an error message because the beginning portion of the hyperlink is being repeated.

1. We have our SD+ software registered as software license (thus asset). 2. We have this software linked to the server it is installed on and it is scanned. 3. I want to create a new request linked to this asset (in casu this ManageEngine software) but cannot find this in the list of assets while entering a request. Am I doing something wrong here or is this a issue which requires a special workaround?
Cannot fetch email from a free email account, please help
I have configured email server settings in the latest version of ServiceDesk Plus and started fetching email. However, there are no email messages appearing anywhere. I am wondering where I should navigate to in order to see fetched email messages. Also, please let me know what free email accounts this application supports fetchmail for. I have heard ServiceDesk Plus cannot fetch messages from a gmail account and my company needs to find another free email account. Thank you
how to activate a deleted user?
Hi I have a requester who was working for us until 2008. Now, in 2010, he has been engaged again. When launching an SQL request SELECT `USER_ID`, `FIRST_NAME`, `MIDDLE_NAME`, `LAST_NAME`, `CREATEDTIME`, `DESCRIPTION` FROM `aaauser` all the delete users are listed. In the table aaauserstatus, all users (even the deleted ones) are in status ACTIVE. How can I activate his user account in SD+ instead of creating a new one? Thanks, Marc
Turning off email requests
Hi, We are using ServiceDesk Plus 7.6 and currently have the users going to the website and opening the requests. Well, some people know that if they send an email to helpdesk@company.com it will auto create the request. We would like to disable that feature to force the users to sign in to the web form. Is there a way to turn that off without compromising the reply feature when the users are answering questions to already opened requests? Thanks
Ticker/announcement for Requester
Is there anyway to show announcements in the requester part of the Service Desk? Eg we have an externally hosted exchange solution, which has its issues, so when a user goes to log a call via the service desk area, they can see via an anouncement or ticker that IT knows there is an email issue currently. Thus less duplicate calls . thanks
Multiline Additional Fields for Assets not showing correctly.
When I add Multiline Additional Fields to Assets they don't show up as multi line in the create/edit asset page. This is my additional field: It contains 4 lines in total: Fahrzeug Nr.: Fahrer Nr.: Cadis User: Barcodes: This is data I only need for our scanners - so I don't want to waste Additional Fields and make each one it's own field. This is how it looks in add/edit asset page: Scrolling doesn't work either. The problem is the way SD+ renders these fields: <td height="20" align="left"

Manually Asseting Software to System
Is there a way to manually assign a software license to a system? There are some systems that are either 1) unable to be scanned by ServiceDesk or 2) the software on the system is unable to be detected. This causes a problem when we need to know what system is using a certain purchased software. For instance, one product that we purchased is a plugin for another product. There is no way for ServiceDesk to pick up on the installation of the plugin, so the software shows as not installed even though
Changing Default Home View
When you first login to Service Desk Plus, on the main Home tab, in the right hand frame there are two tabs: my view and global view Under my view, it lists tasks, requests summary (overdue #, pending #, due today #) and announcements Is there any way to simply make the requests summary actually list the requests? The overdue, pending and due today are really not helpful and slow down my technicians. We'd all like to simply be able to view the requests the moment we login instead of having to click

Wrong German translation in the Request Approval form
We realized - due to complaints of users - that there is a mistake in the German translation in the Request Approval form: In English, the request can be "Recommended" or Rejected" via radiobuttons. In German, the first button "Recommended" is wrongly translated into "Aktion". It sould read "Zustimmen" / "Freigeben" or something similiar... We are using ServiceDesk Plus 7.6 Build 7608. Is it possible, to fix such translation mistakes ourselves? If not, I'd rellay appreciate to see a fix for

Default formating of technician Font size/style
I would like to be able to set the default font, font size and style from an administrative perspective. How can I do this so everytime a new response to a ticket is written the font is arial and size is medium? The text interface is cumbersome and you have to guess what font size is which. Normal, medium, large?? How does that equate to font size 8, 11, 13? Can I edit an ini file or code to force this? Joe
How to remove overdue status? (Due to incorrect category)
Hello, I have just upgraded from 7.5 to 7.6.08, and I have a problem, because SDP behavior has changed. In 7.5 if request was getting overdue due to wrong category, or priority, we just had to correct it (category&priority), and overdue status was gone. In 7.6 - if request gets overdue status, it stays event if we change category to one without SLA! This is incorrect behavior. Is there a way to remove overdue status? Or we have to wait for fix? Regards, Artur
Upgrade UAT Guidelines
I am about to upgrade my TEST environment to 7018, with the idea of going to iunstall 7.5 later in TEST then in Live. So this upgrade is basically a test upgrade to my TEST environment.

Hope someone can help
Request Custom Views are not properly working when SD is set to non-English
After the latest patch, Build 7608, finally the Custom Views do work again. Unfortunately we realized, that there is another issue: When configuring a Request Custom View, it is only properly saved & functioning, when the ServiceDesk Plus language has been set to "English" (by the User) However, the Custom Views do not work (get not applied) when created when the ServiceDesk Plus language is something else beside English (in our case it's German). I'd really appreciate if this could be solved
