Escalate to Technician's Supervisor
We use ServiceDesk for multi organization, so we would like to set escalation to each technician supervisor which the information already setup in our AD. Can it be implement? For example, Organization 1 : A's Supervisor is B and C is B's supervisor Organization 2: D's Supervisor is E and F is E's supervisor If it is high priority and A is breach of SLA, the case should be escalated to B, and C espectively While if D is breach of SLA, it will be escalated to E and F espectively.

Reporting Transferred Requests
I've been asked to report on requests transferred to and from each technician on a monthly basis. I can;t find a way to do this. The only reference seems to be the history of the request. Has anyone tried to achieve this before? We're running version 7508. Thanks in Advance, Nick

Stop timer NOT started when Requests are Resolved?
Hi, I've noticed some Requests go overdue immediately when requestors reply to resolved requests. Even though the Request was put into the resolved status before the due date, users who reply after the due date automatically make the request go overdue. It seems that the stop timer does not start when Requests are put on hold - is this correct? I appreciate I can use the settings under the Admin / Self-service portal settings to prevent requestors re-opening Requests with emails, but we like this

Issues of OpManager Build 8052 and ServiceDesk Plus Build 7608.
There is an issue of integrating both the applications. OpManager does no log auto-tickets in SDP. The dopcumentation says as follows:- "Since OpManager uses email as the mechanism to log a new ticket, you need to enable the “Email - to - Request” conversion feature in ServiceDesk Plus." Where is this feature in SDP release 7608 ? Regards, Shah...

reporting & stats issues after moving requesters to another site / department
Hello We have 4 users that changed the site and the department 3 months ago. Unfortunately, I forgot to update their site and dept in SD+, so we continued to open requests for those people on their old department. I changed now the site and department of the 4 requesters. When launching the request report by department, the requests are still booked on the old department. Then, I edited the requests and updated the site and the department to the new state. The report is still not updated, and the

Major Date-displaying Problem in SD+ 7.6 Build 7608
We realized there is a major issue with the dates (created on, due by, etc.) in requests in our ServiceDesk Plus 7.6. Build 7608 installation. See attached screenshots to get an idea what I mean (Today's date is 23.06.2010!):
Average Resolution Time
With the availability of resolved status.. is there any field which contains the resolution time of the request. This time should be calculated as difference of time from the ticket marked resolved to the creation time and only include the operational duration.
Remove LDAP Authentication
Hi, I used to use the Domain authentication. Today I made available the LDAP authentication I imported the users, so now I have every user twice (one with my domain, one without domain). But for my account, the LDAP one is selected and I don't have the administrator rights, like I had with my account with domain authentication. I don't have another admin account. Please help me to remove LDAP authentication and get back to Domain one!
On Active Directory import: match field "Site" with AD-field "City"
We realized that on a Request import from Active Directory, one can only match the field "Site" with the AD-value "Office". This is quite wrong for us, because we use the "Office"-field for the real office number. I would very appreciate, if we could match on an import the field "Site" to the AD-value "City"! Is this probably already possible via a workaround? Because it would save us a lot of work...
Searching for Merged Request (Child)
Please can you advise how to search for a child request that has been merged? This has always been an issue for us but used to be able to search for the requests by changing the request numbr within the URL of another request. This no longer works since we have updated to version 7608 and is a major issue as requesters keep on quoting RequestID's that have been merged. Please could you advise ASAP. Thanks
Report Software Details by Workstation
All, I tried doing this using the Report Wizard, but what I'm asking for spans too many tables for it, I think. We're currently being audited by Adobe (joy!), and they want to know a lot of information about what we have installed (including the Free software such as Adobe Reader!). So, I'm trying to generate a report which gives the following information, to add to another spreadsheet which we're working on: Computer Name | User | Product Name/Version | Assigned License Key

Parse Incoming email
How can I parse incoming email into the proper fields for ticket submission? I tried entering the variables into the description of the email but it didn't seem to work. Pretty standard feature in ticket systems I've seen. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong. $RequesterName = email@email.com $Category: Servers $Title = serverproblem $Description = problem

Assigning Tasks to Tickets in a Business Rule
I'm tried to create a business rule that will assign tasks to a request based on the request title. This is to be used for user starter & leaver tickets so we can assign the list of tasks to be competed. I can't find a way to assign tasks or templates in a Business Rule. Has anyone achieved this?

SSO Broken after upgrade to 7.6.04 in Servicedesk Plus
2/12/2010 I upgraded Servicedesk Plus from 7.6.02 to 7.6.03 then 7.6.04. Single Sign On worked fine for the brief time I was running 7.6.03 and it was working in 7.6.02 and before. When I upgraded to 7.6.04 Single Sign on doesn’t work. I’ve restarted the service a couple times without success. Every time I load my browser it just comes to the login screen. I can successfully login if I type in my credentials but I cannot get it to do it automatically. I didn’t change anything in the SSO
Select Box missing in All Tasks
Hello, Ever since the last update, I'm missing the Select Box on the All Tasks window. I went to the Column selection window and played with that setting but it still does not show. I also tried a remedy found in another post that said to remove my login then re-add it, but that didn't work either. Does anybody have an idea on how to fix this? Thank you.

Uninstalling Patches Not Supported
Question for you guys. If a patch that I install for ServiceDesk breaks something and makes portions of the system unusable, what exactly are my options? I know that there is an "Uninstall" option in the update manager, but on your website there is a note that says "Uninstallation of a successfully installed patch is not supported." By the way, before I go on, I think it's ridiculous how you say this on a part of your site that you go to if and only if you've attempted to uninstall a patch and

Resolution & Technical resolution
We are having an issue where our technicians are entering a technical fix in the resolution field But the user is able to see the technical fix details and are attempting to action these fixes themselves Obviously there are some fixes that we would like to the requesters to attempt and some resolutions we would like to keep private and for the technician only Is it possible to incorporate a technical resolution field in addition to the resolution field that the requester cannot view ?
Colour indicate Technicians
It would be good be good if you could colour code individual technicians, so they stand out more.. we recently got rid of our job allocating paper card system and replaced it with a screen showing the Service desk request page. Just need technicians to stand out individually... Can you also colour code unallocated requests? So unallocated request are red until they get assigned?

freeze all SLA's
I would like to see an additional feature added to SD that allows all SLA's to be put on hold at the same time in the event of a catastrophic incident occurring - furthermore, all requesters should be notified when this happens by a global message and then again when normal SLA's are resumed. Currently you can only put requests on hold on an individual basis.
catagories, groups and levels
We have been using servicedesk for a few months and wanted to open up a discussion on how people are identifying groups, catagories, and levels. Quite frankly our model is inefficient and I would love to see how other people are organizing groups (e.g. network, security, server), Catagories (e.g. virus, desktop hardware, software problems), and levels(e.g. request for info, service request, minor/major incident). BTW, those are some of my examples. Also, I wish the demo site had more content that
