Duplicate Entries for One Software
Good Morning, In your process for purchasing software, it is required that the software already be in the system because you have to select a related version of the software. So we've been going into the system, adding the software by hand, and then adding it into a PO for purchase. Here is the problem. The software may be called one thing on the PO, but when a scan picks it up, it comes up as something else. For instance, Scrutinizer on an official PO is called simply "Scrutinizer." However,

Manager Views on Requests
Currently SD+ allows a Requester to show only their own requests show all their Department requests show all their Site requests This was a neat feature added in SDP in Version 7.5. I would like to however propose improvements on this feature. Some company officials would have more than one department under their management. The ability to support more than one department per Requester I think would be a common requirement. Even multiple site associations for Requesters should be supported. For
Service Desk Plus logs out when Desktop Central is running
Hi there, When I log in to both Service Desk Plus and Desktop Central at the same time, one or the other kicks me out and forces me to log in again each time I go back to it - even after less than a minute.

Create request when email sent from server but not user
We have the functionality of creating requests from emails turned off for our users....they can only create a request by filling out the SDP request template. However, I would like to allow the creation of requests from an email from a server only. For example, a request would be created when a server sends a notification email of a down service to SDP. The email address would be consistent. Is it possible to allow the creation of requests from email based on email address? Thanks.

Serach by Request ID number no longer works after upgrade 7606
I'm positive this used to work before the upgrade.. On the left hand side under "search", if you set your search in to "Requests", we used to be able to enter the Request ID number and it would return that request. Now, it does not find anything. Can anyone else confirm that pre7606 this works and in 7606 they are not getting any result?
Password in clear text in URL
When manually logging in to the helpdesk, the user password is exposed in clear text in the url is the address bar when the login fails. This is passed over the network, and visible on screen. This is rather insecure, as exposing passwords with minor typing errors in them give a very good clue to the correct password. ie.: "?j_username=testusername&j_password=TESTPASSWORD"

What modification to a request is considered a 'response'?
Hello all, I've recently enabled the response SLA measure within our organisation (previously only using resolution). At what point is a request considered to be 'responded to'? What needs to be changed in the request? An example: A request logged by a user has been assigned to a technician, had it's priority set, and had a public note added, and it still breached the response SLA.. Many thanks!
Report of any technician who has handled a call
Hello I'd like to run a report which pulls out in .xls format details of logged requests where any technician has handled the request (we don't fill in the work log). ie their name appears somewhere on the History tab Essentially the type of data that I want to pull out is: title, description, priority, department, status, category(inc sub category and item), overdue flag, time spent, due by, created, completed Is there a report which already does this?
Search resolutions and notes
The one feature that I would really like to see added to ServiceDesk is to have the resolutions and notes included when performing a search of requests. As I mentioned in a previous request before the release of version 6, the description field is usually supplied by the users themselves or from our techs after an initial contact with the user. Because of this, the description is usually very general, like "my computer/application crashed" or "I'm getting an error message". It is generally only after
Global view - technician tried to view and now can't get back to My View
I've poked around and see that Global View is only available to Administrators, still. Now I have a technician who clicked on Global View and cannot get back to the My View screen because Home only displays a blank page. What does he need to do to restore his original view? And when will Global View be an option in Roles so we can allow those other than administrators access?

Adding notes when reassigning to a different technician
Would like to propose/request a change when re-assigning a request to a different technician, to have an "Add Notes" field in the Request Details section, rather than having to reassign the request and then clicking on the 'Add Notes option within the toolbar. This would provide a much quicker option of adding notes to inform technicians of the status of the request or work already carried out. Thank you. Kind regards, Jon

Can you auto update call status on email reply receipt
Is there a way to automatically update the call status to "waiting for response" if you send out an email from SDP using the reply button? Alternatively if you receive a reply from a requester, can you auto-update the call status back to something else such as "response recieved"? This would make call views easier to manage if you were only worried about actioning tickets you had received replies to. Many thanks, Dean
Mass Change Status from Reports
Is it possible to mass change multiple requests from the report interface? We are trying to accomplish simple billing from ServiceDesk, and I would like to be able to change the status of all requests within a report from "Resolved" or "Closed" to "Billed" so as to ensure we don't accidentally bill twice for the same request. Is there a way to do this, or could something like this be implemented in the future? Thank you, LK
