Closing or Deleting Requests via OpManager Clear Alarm?
Hi, I've been testing the OpManager and ServiceDesk Plus products at the organisation I work for. We are possibly looking at purchasing/implementing the products internally and for external clients. I've set up notification profiles in OpManager to send events to ServiceDesk Plus. My question is whether ServiceDesk Plus can associate Attention/Trouble/Critical Alarms with Clear Alarms. That way for example, if a server was down, a Trouble Ticket would be automatically created in the ServiceDesk.
reopen or attach a file to PO after closing
I would like to know first, is it possible to reopen a PO? What if it was accidently marked as every item was received (which closes the PO) and then we discover one item was missing from the shipment? Second, I would like to know if I can attach a document/file to a PO after it has been closed? Like say a packing slip from the delivery.
Need new columns in Purchase Order Table
Hi, I would like to know how do I add new columns in the Purchase Module next to the "Items" in the tabular section (not in the General Section) eg.. Sno Items Item Description Part No UoM Qty Price I believe we can edit/change the related database/tables & add the the above two fields/columns. Its like a show stopper for our purchase dept. Appreciate some solution or alternate for this issue 'asap'. Regards, Subhani

Help for requesters
Hi I'd like to be able to add help into the request templates for the requesters... a simple ? button next to fields that when clicked opens up some text set up by the sytem admin. Would be useful for things like priority and request type as these are concepts not all people instantly understand. Cheers Steph..
Business Rule Fetching Details
I recently modifed by business rules to state if request type = none to assign the request to a group. I've found after doing this that I cannot access my business rules anymore. If I delete them and recreate them without the request type=none, it works ok. I need to include the request type=none because the rule isn't executing properly because the request type is not mandatory on our request templates. The error I'm getting when I attempt to access by business rule is: FAILURE :Error while
paste screenshots directly in to description filed
I would like to see an additional feature added to SD that allows users to paste screenshots directly into the description field of the request similar to what is already available when submitted via email. Currently, when submitting via the web portal requesters have to attach this as file which is time consuming and not very user friendly.

RedirectURL setting
Hi, When upgrading to 7606, a parameter was added to the globalconfigs table for REDIRECTURL which I could set to false so that I could have full access to the servicedesk when I used my iPhone to access it. After upgrading to the latest release (7608), it seems that has been removed again? Can I manually add this back in to stop the annoying forced use of a mobile version that lets me do very little? Thanks, Bryan

Technician Roles & Permissions
When assigning multiple roles to a technician that includes different permissions within the same module, for example, I have two roles created. One role allows technicians to View Only All Requests. I have another role that allows technicians to View, Edit, & Add only those Requests assigned to him/her or their group. If I then assign both roles to a single technician, I would expect the technician to only be able to view, edit, add his/her assigned requests and any requests in his/her groups and
Show site details on request page
On a request page technicians are shown relevant requester details (name, telephone, asset, etc); however it would be useful for them to be able to see site information for where the requester is based as well (for example, we keep the ADSL line number and router IP in the "Fax" and "Web URL" sections). This would negate the need to open a separate page, go to "Admin", then find a site (for which there is no search, just manual finding) in order to see these details. Is this possible up to the

Case sensitive usernames
After upgrading to 7504 recently (went through many upgrades at once), I've found that you no longer have to select your domain to logon to. This is a nice feature. However it is picking up the username field as case sensitive and therefore some users only get the option for local authentication after they capitalize something in their name. This seems kinda crazy, is there any way to fix this? Workarounds? Thanks in advance. Jon
Assets (servers) with multiple IPs
Hi, SD+ 7.6.0 Build 7608 We have servers with multiple IPs on one single NIC. Is there a way to get all IPs listed on the asset? As far as I can see only one IP is listed under "Network Details" on the asset. We run a "network scan" on a IP subnet containing all the IPs that the server has on the NIC, but only one IP is showing up on the asset. The servers is a standard Windows server. Any ideas as to get all the IPs listed? /Ulrik
Request Approval
Hi, Let me explain a situation: We need a special type of request regarding adding/modifying or deleting users in the network. As obviously this kind of request needs an approval from a manager. Will be great if we can add a comercial rule for a category (ex. User Administration ) so automatically the systems sends an email to the right approval manager with a link to approve the request. Thanks Pablo

Post-hotfix installation error - build 7608
After installing hotfix build 7608, we are intermittently receiving the following error: "Error has occurred during response. Please view the error window for more details." However, it does not spawn an error window. It spawns a new login window or a badly formatted GUI view. There does not seem to be any specific action that is performed. It can be after saving a request or changing values, to just a random pop-up after a period of inactivity on a standard view. Windows Server 2008 - Application
Printing a Request prints only half of the text, because of the scrolling area
When in a Request and navigating to Actions > Print Preview, all the Request-text is being displayed in a scrolling area. Internet Explorer is not capable of printing this inline-scrolling-area correctly. Workaround is, to select the text one wants to print manually. But this is a very unconvenient solution. You should fix the Print Preview-dialog in order not to use any scrolling areas.
