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? Thanks in Advance, Nick
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

Requester to close own incident/service request via self service portal
Hello, I would like to suggest an enhancement that would enable the requester/user to be able to close their own incident or service request via the self service portal. I understand they can close it once a technician has resolved it. But we would like the functionality for the user to close it prior to a technician resolving it. Thanks Joel

Some additional features I would like to see is: 1) Jump to option for ManageEngine Eventlog Analyzer 2) Group calendar accessible by all technicians for scheduling maintenance, meetings, trouble ticket resolution, etc. Along with the calendar feature, I would like it to send ticklers to the technicians reminding them of their scheduled events. 3) Enable editing of requestors' logon
problems with API - Add Request - reqTemplate
Hello We are using the API in order let users create requests via intranet. Everything works fine and we really appreciate this API. Unfortunately, we cannot use the reqTemplate feature which is described in the API documentation: When creating a request with the 'reqTemplate'-field filled in, a new request with the 'default template' is created. While testing, we tried with the template name and with the template db-ID. We do not get any error message and the request is always created with the 'default

Removing Asset Relationships
I am currently using the Free version of Servicedesk Plus. I am testing the asset relationship functions, and can't seem to find a way to remove relationships once I add them, primarily connected to and business relationships. I go into the add relationship function from within an asset, and remove the asset that it is linked to from the list instead of adding one, and then hit save, but it requires me to associate an asset to save, closing just resets it to normal. Same with Business relationship,
Selecting Site changes group options
When editing a request ticket, if I change the site to one particular site, I have no available groups to select from. Obviously, I've setup something incorrectly. But this is happening with only one site out of 50. And for the life of me, I can't see anything unique about the site. Any ideas?
Details in Notifications
I have notifications setup to send me a notification when a user replies to a ticket. That works but I can't figure out how to get it to send me the details of the notification itself. Rather all I get is, "someone replied to your ticket". What I want to get is "someone replied to your ticket and here is what they said." I'm sure this is a setting but can someone help me find it?
Want to be notified when giving req to another user, or just subscribe to req!
Hi When a user makes a request, it will often first be assigned to first level, and then go on to 2nd level. However, when it is assigned to 2nd level, 1st level will no longer be notified when something happens with the request. Is it possible somehow for the 1st level technician to mark a request and subscribe to it, or is there any way the technican can keep on getting updates about the request ?

Access denied or remote DCOM option disabled error.
Hello- We are having some trouble with the "FAILURE :Either access denied for the user or the remote DCOM option might be disabled in the workstation. " error when scanning all workstations. We recently had our one employee who ran ServiceDesk leave the company, so both of the current profiles attempting to do the scans have not done them before. I think it is unlikely to be the DCOM settings because it suddenly stopped working on all workstations, however, when we run net use <RemoteComputerName>C$

Windows 7 ServiceDesk connectivity issue
I am having trouble using the ServiceDesk Plus and Win7 desktop machines. When trying to open the website to post a helpdesk request, I dont get anything. I have tried by IP and name. every single Win 7 computer is having this issue. All of the Win XP machines still work fine so it has to be a security setting that is enabled by default.
